Perplexity

Automated order handling

Program your Mastra AI agents to check `list_orders` for pending requests. If an order meets your criteria, the workflow triggers the next step. Use `get_order_details` to verify shipment info before moving to the next stage. Failures cause the agent to retry or alert you.

Catalog sync workflows

Keep your inventory current by running `list_catalog_categories` through your agent logic. It updates your local database based on live store changes. Fetch specific item metadata with `get_product_details` whenever a price change occurs. The workflow engine ensures every update completes.

Customer management logic

Trigger actions based on account activity found via `list_customers`. Your Mastra AI agent identifies high-value users for targeted outreach. Pull deep profile info with `get_customer_details` to personalize the follow-up. You set the rules for how the agent handles the response.

Setup guide

Set up BigCommerce MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All BigCommerce tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "bigcommerce-alternative-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "bigcommerce-alternative-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "BigCommerce Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to BigCommerce tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent BigCommerce transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
