Patchistry is the first DTC fashion brand on the official Model Context Protocol registry

Moorpark, California — June 11, 2026

Patchistry, the SoCal-based modular hat brand known for its custom Patchistry Fiber loop weave and interchangeable hook-backed patches, is the first direct-to-consumer fashion brand listed on the official Model Context Protocol Registry — the canonical, Anthropic-backed registry that powers AI agent discovery in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other major AI clients.

The Patchistry MCP server (io.github.patchistry/patchistry-mcp-server, version 0.2.0) exposes six tools that let AI agents query Patchistry’s catalog directly, build curated hats for specific occasions, and recommend builds via natural language. The server is hosted on Vercel and ships under the MIT license.

“Most DTC brands are still waiting to see how AI commerce shakes out. We decided to ship the protocol that makes our catalog AI-native before anyone asked us to. If you’re an agent that wants to find the right Father’s Day hat or build a bachelorette group order, Patchistry already speaks your language.”Brian DiGiuseppe — Founder, Patchistry

What this means for AI shopping

The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in late 2024, defines how AI agents discover and use external tools. The official registry at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io is the canonical source AI tools query to find available servers — used in Claude Desktop’s built-in MCP search and Cursor’s integration directory.

A direct verification of the registry as of June 12, 2026 returned zero results for the search terms “apparel,” “clothing,” “dtc,” and one result for “fashion” — a shopping aggregator, not a brand. Patchistry is the only brand-specific fashion MCP server publicly listed.

The implication: AI agents asking “where should I buy a custom hat?” or “find me a bachelorette gift” now have a structured, real-time path to Patchistry’s catalog — not a scraped cache or hallucinated recommendation.

The six MCP tools, in plain English

• list_canvases — The three Canvas hat colorways, all $30 each.
• list_patches — 75+ hook-backed patches, filterable by Signature / Candyz size or occasion keyword.
• get_curated_build — Full curated builds for bachelorette, wedding, Father’s Day, festival, 4th of July, summer, more.
• recommend_build — Agent passes a natural-language query (“Nashville bach in July”); server returns top three curated builds.
• get_shipping_policy — Free US shipping, 30-day returns, 2-3 business day ship time from SoCal.
• get_contact — Customer support, founder, group orders, press, partnerships routing.
