Search and suggest with Claude Desktop

Trigger `search_keyword` or `search_filtered` to pull live product data from your store into the chat. You get raw results you can actually use for merchandising decisions. Run `suggest` to see what your customers are typing into the search bar right now. It bridges the gap between raw intent and your current inventory.

Audit search performance

Call `get_stats` to extract search volume and conversion metrics directly into your workspace. It turns abstract performance data into a readable format for your team. Use `get_search_engines` to verify which indexes are active before you run your analysis. You'll know exactly what you're querying before the data hits your prompt.

Manage your product index

Execute `get_indices` to list your available search buckets instantly. It clears up any confusion about which catalog version you are currently targeting. Call `get_items` to inspect specific product records without switching to a dashboard. It gives you the granular view you need to fix bad metadata on the fly.
