Hourmarket
Headless infrastructure
Early access · in development

Add commerce experiences to your existing product.

Hourmarket gives teams the headless APIs, TypeScript clients, React-based UI packages, marketplace infrastructure, search, AI discovery, and agent-ready documentation needed to add single-vendor or multi-vendor selling to modern web, mobile, SaaS, portal, and marketplace products.

The shift

Commerce is becoming part of every product.

More companies now need to sell products, services, bookings, courses, events, memberships or vendor offerings inside their own digital experiences. Building that from scratch is slow and complex.

01Standard ecommerce platforms are store-first, not platform-first
02Multi-vendor support is hard to add later
03Mobile apps usually mean separate, duplicated builds
04Search and discovery take time to wire together
05AI agents need structured rules and context, not just APIs
06Vendor, consumer and admin flows each need different permissions
07Existing platforms want commerce without replacing their core
08Teams want reusable components, not rebuilt flows
The Hourmarket answer

The commerce layer your product can build on.

Hourmarket gives teams the infrastructure to add commerce, vendors, products, search, discovery and AI-ready experiences into their own product.

Headless commerce packages

Composable building blocks for catalogues, baskets, checkout and accounts — not a locked-in storefront.

Single & multi-vendor

Marketplace support is part of the core model, not a plugin bolted on later.

API-key access

Scoped keys for vendor, consumer and service-to-service flows across your product.

Search & AI discovery

Fast search, guided discovery and AI chat over products, vendors and content — designed in from the start.

Web, iOS & Android

Target multiple surfaces from shared React / React Native Web concepts.

Agent-ready infrastructure

Manifests, durable rules, workflows and shared type contracts agents can read.

MCP tooling

An MCP server gives external AI agents direct access to guidance and contracts.

TypeScript clients & UI

OpenAPI-generated TypeScript clients, React hooks and headless UI packages.

AI-agent-ready infrastructure

Built for AI agents, not just human developers.

Hourmarket does not just expose APIs. It provides structured guidance that helps agents understand what to use, when to use it and how to follow the rules of each surface.

AI metadata

Structured context describing each surface and capability.

Durable rules

Constraints that tell agents how each surface must be used.

Surface manifests

Machine-readable descriptions of what exists and where.

Workflow documentation

Step-by-step guidance for common build tasks.

Shared type contracts

One source of truth for types across packages.

MCP tools

Direct agent access to guidance, rules and contracts.

APIs tell agents what exists. Hourmarket also tells them how the platform works.

Model Context Protocol

MCP-enabled for external AI agents.

An MCP server lets external AI agents access package guidance, workflows, rules, manifests and shared contracts — directly.

Hourmarket is designed so AI agents can understand how to build with it.

Generative AI
Beta

Describe it. Hourmarket builds it.

Hourmarket Studio reads the headless UI packages from their AI metadata, so you can describe a consumer storefront or a vendor admin screen and get real, exportable code — composed from the components and previewed live with real data. Prefer your own tools? Build in any AI code agent and connect the Hourmarket MCP server for the same metadata-aware results.

Hourmarket Studio — describe a UI and the model composes it from the headless components, previewed live

Build in Hourmarket Studio

Describe a UI and the model composes it from the headless components — consumer storefronts and vendor admin alike — previewed live, then export the code.

Bring your own AI agent

Prefer Claude Code or another AI code agent? Build against Hourmarket in your own project and connect the Hourmarket MCP server for metadata-aware, on-rails results.

Multi-surface builder

Build once across web, iOS and Android.

Page-builder and component infrastructure built around shared React / React Native Web concepts. Commerce experiences that do not stop at the website.

Current developer experience

Built first for TypeScript and React teams.

The strongest developer experience today is for TypeScript, React and React Native Web. The platform stays API-first, so the same foundation can support more SDKs, widgets and adapters over time.

Vendor admin surfaces

Build your own dashboards and selling tools for vendors.

The same headless UI packages run on TypeScript web and Expo mobile — one component set for both consumer and vendor admin.

For founders & investors

Commerce is moving beyond the storefront.

Commerce is becoming more embedded, more vertical, more mobile, and more AI-assisted. Companies increasingly want selling experiences inside the products their customers already use — not just standalone online stores.

As more products become commerce-enabled, teams need reusable infrastructure for vendors, catalogues, search, mobile surfaces, and AI-assisted workflows.

Hourmarket is building the infrastructure layer for that shift: headless commerce, marketplace support, search, AI discovery, and agent-readable tooling from one foundation.

Infrastructure for embedded commerce — not another store builder
Marketplace support is first-class, not an afterthought
AI agents are becoming part of the build process
Search and discovery are increasingly core to commerce
Web and mobile powered from shared infrastructure
Existing platforms enhanced rather than replaced
