About Doofinder MCP Server
Connect your Doofinder account to any AI agent and take full control of your e-commerce search and discovery workflows through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Doofinder data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- AI-Powered Keyword Search — Identify bounded routing spaces inside the headless Doofinder platform and extract explicitly attached REST arrays targeting specific search queries
- Advanced Filtering — Perform structural extraction of properties driving active Account logic by applying facet filters like brand, color, or price range
- Predictive Suggestions — Enumerate explicitly attached structured rules to extract fast predictive nodes directly tracking search limits for partial queries
- Smart Sorting — Provision highly-available JSON payloads to generate hard customer bindings with custom sort directions like 'price:asc' or 'relevance:desc'
- Search Engine Oversight — Command automated validation checks routing explicit gateway history to dump all isolated tenant indexes mapping explicit hash strings
- Index & Item Auditing — Inspect deep internal arrays to sync un-cached raw catalog limits and verify the exact data structures defining your product graph
- Performance Analytics — Identify precise active arrays spanning native hold parsing to capture exact CTR, click limits, and query velocity numbers
The Doofinder MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
