Perplexity

Cursor agent fetches BigCommerce data

Stop mocking your store's API responses while you build features. Cursor calls `get_store_info` to get accurate site metadata for your development environment. Your agent uses these live responses to generate code that matches your actual store configuration. It saves you from debugging integration errors later.

Query BigCommerce products in Cursor

Your AI assistant can run `list_products` to pull your catalog into your current coding session. It lets you write logic that handles real product objects and attributes. Use `get_product` to fetch the exact JSON structure of any item. You build your storefront features against live data rather than guesswork.

Automate BigCommerce logic in Cursor

The editor can iterate through `list_orders` to test your backend processes. You get the actual order payloads delivered straight into your terminal or chat panel. This gives you a tight feedback loop. You write the code, the agent pulls the data, and you verify the output instantly.

Setup guide

Set up BigCommerce MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the BigCommerce MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent BigCommerce transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the BigCommerce tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bigcommerce-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
