# Elastic Path MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Elastic Path lets you manage headless commerce workflows using natural language. You can inspect carts, track purchase statuses, and grab store navigation data directly through your AI agent. It connects your commerce engine to your agent so you can handle store operations without switching tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** ecommerce - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_cqkH73YKKwothRflCrERYMPr9uQFROjtKa8g2AyG/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** commerce-api, cart-management, headless-commerce, retail-tech, api-orchestration ## Description Dealing with headless commerce usually means jumping between different dashboards to check a customer's cart or find a specific order ID. This Connector changes that. By connecting your Elastic Path commerce engine to your AI agent, you can just ask questions to get the data you need. You can pull up a user's profile to see their history, check if a purchase actually went through, or find out which countries your store currently supports. It handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the Cortex API so you can focus on the actual work. Whether you're a developer testing store structures or a support lead helping a frustrated customer, it makes getting commerce data a conversation rather than a manual search. You'll find it's a lot faster to just tell your agent what to do than to hunt for the right page in a complex admin panel. You can find this and thousands of other tools in the Vinkius catalog to keep your stack connected. ## Tools ### create_token Generates an OAuth2 token to authenticate your connection.
