Mago — Free AI Admin Assistant for Magento 2

Q: So where do costs come in?

In the AI model. Every question is sent to the provider you chose — Claude (Anthropic) or OpenAI — and they bill per usage. Typical admin use comes down to cents per conversation, and you can set a monthly spending limit in your provider account.

Q: How do you keep those AI costs low?

Mago's prompts are kept deliberately small: only the store data a question needs is sent, skill context is loaded on demand and instructions stay short. A typical action such as creating a product costs a few cents.

Q: Can I switch between Claude and OpenAI?

Any time. Pick the provider in the configuration screen, paste the matching key, and Mago switches — no reinstall, no data migration.

Q: What about my store data and privacy?

Mago only reads what your Magento admin role allows, every write needs explicit confirmation, and Mago stores nothing outside your Magento installation. What the AI provider does with requests is governed by their API terms.

Why merchants love it

Run the store, skip the busywork

Ask in plain language

Sales, products, customers, configuration — ask like you'd ask a colleague and get a straight answer with live store data.

Answers in real time

Responses stream in live while Mago works — no waiting for a report to render, no page reloads.

Nothing changes without your OK

Reading is instant, writing never is: every change to your store gets an explicit confirm step first.

Follows your admin roles

Read and write access run through Magento's own ACL — every admin sees exactly what their role allows.

Your AI, your key

Bring your own Claude or OpenAI key and switch providers whenever you like. No middleman, no markup.

Free and open source

No licence, no seats, no subscription. One composer command on Magento ≥ 2.4.4, paste your key, done — the code is MIT on GitHub.

Core + addons

One core, endless skills

Mago Core ships with the essentials — analytics, configuration, content and admin navigation as built-in skills. Everything else is an addon: a small module that teaches Mago a new trick.

Addons plug in through Mago's skill API without touching core, so any agency or module vendor can build one — performance insights, payment status, exception monitoring. That's how this stays a community effort instead of one vendor's roadmap.

Pricing & costs

What does it cost?

Short version: Mago is free. The AI model you connect it to is not — and that bill goes straight to you, at your provider's rates.

Is Mago really free for merchants?

Yes. Mago Core is open source under the MIT licence: install it on as many stores as you like, for any number of admin users, with no licence fee, no seats and no subscription. There is no paid tier hiding behind it.

So where do costs come in?

In the AI model. Every question you ask is sent to the provider you chose — Claude (Anthropic) or OpenAI — and they bill per usage, based on the amount of text sent and received. Typical admin use comes down to cents per conversation, and you can set a monthly spending limit in your provider account so there are never surprises.

Do I need my own API key?

Yes. You create an API key in your own Anthropic or OpenAI account and paste it into Stores › Configuration › Mago Assistant. Mago talks to the provider directly with that key, so usage is billed to you, at list price, with no markup — and your store data never passes through a Mago server, because there isn't one.

How do you keep those AI costs low?

By being stingy with what we send. Mago's prompts are kept deliberately small: it only passes the model the store data a question actually needs, pulls in a skill's context on demand instead of all at once, and keeps its own instructions short. The result is that a typical action — creating a product, say — costs a few cents, and a quick lookup often far less. Lower token use also means faster answers, so it is optimised on both counts.

Can I switch between Claude and OpenAI?

Any time. Pick the provider in the same configuration screen, paste the matching key, and Mago switches — no reinstall, no data migration.

What about my store data and privacy?

Mago only reads what your Magento admin role allows, and every write needs your explicit confirmation first. Mago itself stores nothing outside your Magento installation. What the AI provider does with the requests it receives is governed by their API terms — both Anthropic and OpenAI state that API data is not used to train their models by default, but do check the policy that applies to your account.

Will addons be free as well?

Mago Core always is. Addons are published by their own maintainers under their own licence — we ask every maintainer to state it clearly, and the addon listing shows it per addon.
