How to Use the Ecwid MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect my Ecwid store to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install the package using pip install openai-agents and initialize MCPServerStreamableHttp with your Vinkius endpoint. Pass this instance into your Agent constructor using the mcpservers list.

Q: Can the OpenAI Agents SDK update Ecwid inventory levels automatically?

Yes, your agent uses updateinventory to modify stock quantities based on incoming supplier data. It pulls details via getproduct first to avoid overwriting recent customer purchases.

Q: How does the OpenAI Agents SDK handle Ecwid rate limits?

Enable cacheToolsList=True in your SDK configuration to avoid redundant tool discovery calls. This keeps your API consumption low and prevents your store from hitting Ecwid's rate limits.

Q: Can I track order fulfillment status with this setup?

Yes, searchorders returns fulfillment and payment statuses directly to your agent. Your agent then uses getorder to pull specific shipping details when customers ask for updates.

Run your production e-commerce store safely using the OpenAI Agents SDK to control your Ecwid shop.

Perplexity

Real-time inventory syncing via MCP Server

`update_inventory` changes Ecwid stock levels instantly when your OpenAI Agents SDK workflow detects warehouse shifts. Your OpenAI Agents SDK agent uses `get_product` to check current Ecwid stock numbers before making any changes. By tracking Ecwid product IDs directly through this MCP connection, the OpenAI Agents SDK bypasses slow webhooks. The OpenAI Agents SDK validates these actions in real time, stopping errors before they write to your Ecwid catalog.

Order lookup and customer tracking

`search_orders` retrieves Ecwid order numbers, payment statuses, and buyer details directly for your OpenAI Agents SDK agent. This SDK agent cross-references these details with `search_customers` to flag high-value Ecwid buyers. Instead of hopping between dashboards, your OpenAI Agents SDK agent handles customer questions in one run. It checks `get_order` to verify Ecwid delivery updates and matches them against the customer profile in seconds.

Store profile and coupon management

`get_profile` pulls your active Ecwid configuration so your OpenAI Agents SDK setup always knows your current store settings. Your OpenAI Agents SDK system uses `list_coupons` to verify active Ecwid discounts before applying them. By fetching Ecwid categories with `list_categories` and storing app states via `get_app_storage`, your OpenAI Agents SDK agent maintains a clean operational loop. This keeps your Ecwid store data accurate without hardcoding database values.

Setup guide

Set up Ecwid MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all Ecwid tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives Ecwid tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate Ecwid tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="Ecwid Agent",
            instructions="You have access to Ecwid tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())
