  Vendure is an open-source headless commerce framework built in TypeScript on
  top of NestJS and TypeORM. A Vendure server exposes two GraphQL APIs - the
  Shop API consumed by storefronts and the Admin API consumed by the admin UI
  and back-office tooling - plus a plugin system for extending data, services,
  jobs, and resolvers. Developer surface includes the Vendure Core,
  community-maintained plugins (Braintree, Stripe, Algolia, ...), a CLI,
  Dashboard, the hosted Vendure Platform, and an MCP server exposing the
  documentation to AI assistants.
