BigCommerce MCP

What it does

BigCommerce MCP delivers full-platform e-commerce management through Model Context Protocol. It renders 24 interactive React UIs — product grids, order dashboards, analytics charts, category tree editors, coupon managers, and more — directly inside MCP-compatible clients. Beyond the UIs, it exposes 148 production-ready tools covering every BigCommerce API endpoint: catalog, orders, customers, carts, checkout, promotions, shipping, webhooks, and store configuration.

Key features

• 24 Interactive React Apps — Product grids with bulk actions, order dashboards with revenue charts, customer 360° profiles, inventory trackers with low-stock alerts, category tree drag-and-drop editors, coupon generators with ROI analysis, and more.
• 148 MCP Tools — Complete coverage of BigCommerce v2 and v3 APIs: products, variants, images, orders, shipments, refunds, customers, carts, checkout, promotions, coupons, shipping zones, payment methods, webhooks, CMS pages, and store settings.
• Built-in Rate Limiting — Automatic exponential backoff on 429s, header-aware request throttling, and retry logic up to 3 attempts.
• Dual API Support — Seamless switching between BigCommerce v2 (legacy) and v3 (modern) REST APIs with full TypeScript type safety.
• Zero Config — Works with just two environment variables (BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_HASH and BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN).
