Perplexity

Live BigCommerce catalog streaming

Pipe your catalog directly into your interface using `list_products` and `get_product`. Your users watch data populate instantly. This MCP Server removes the need for custom API middleware. You get the raw JSON delivered to your React or Next.js components as it happens.

Real-time order management with Vercel AI SDK

Feed order payloads from `get_order` and `get_order_products` straight into your UI state. It cuts out the lag of traditional data fetching. Your application handles the state updates while the agent manages the connection. It creates a responsive dashboard that feels local to the user.

Dynamic store metadata injection

Use `get_store_info` to pull your store configuration into the front end. It ensures your UI reflects the current environment settings without hardcoding. You avoid stale data issues by pulling from the source of truth. The SDK keeps your client synchronized with the backend configuration.

Setup guide

Set up BigCommerce MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all BigCommerce tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent BigCommerce transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
