Build the Developer-First GTM for Product.ai MCP — surface developers, not search engines, as the new top of the funnel

The agent commerce kernel is explicit: Product.ai's defensible position is to become the verified commerce intelligence layer that every AI agent calls before a purchase decision. The MCP is the wire; verification is the asset. The competitive sequencing window is 12-18 months — every month of inaction allows Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, Stripe, or a faster startup to define the verification interface Product.ai should own. Today: zero external developer integrations. Outcome DEV-INTEGRATE shows `evidence_status: not-started` after Jonah White's departure (2026-04-24). Outcome SC-AGENT-DEFAULT shows zero initiatives assigned. The MCP server is technically nascent or in private preview at best. There is no registry presence on PulseMCP / MCP.so / Glama / Smithery. No OAuth-secured remote deployment as the genuine production-adoption signal that Marketing State of Practice §C Axiom 19 calls "the only sound differentiator." No AGENTS.md, no .well-known Server Card, no developer-first landing page, no three-language quickstart, no integration showcase, no feedback loop. This is a marketing-architect problem, not a documentation problem. The buyer is the AI-agent developer in 2026 — a category that did not exist at scale 18 months ago. They have specific decision criteria, specific places they live (PulseMCP, GitHub, Hacker News, MCP-focused Discord, ChatGPT for "which MCP server should I use for…" queries), and specific signals they trust (working OAuth, reproducible quickstart, .well-known Server Card, named-author technical writing). Generic developer marketing playbooks from 2022 (Twilio docs, Stripe docs as templates) ship the surface but miss the AI-era distribution physics: the **citation surface** (what AI mentions when a developer asks "which verified-commerce MCP should I use") is decoupled from the **tool surface** (what AI invokes when a developer's agent calls a tool). Both must be built in parallel, and most teams build only the tool.
