Can the AI filter catalog products by specific colors or variations?

Yes. You can instruct the agent: 'Find all Men's Shirts and filter by color: Blue and size: Medium'. The agent will natively invoke `search_filtered` passing the specific parameter facets to narrow down exactly what is requested.

Can I check autocomplete queries directly from the chat prompt?

Absolutely. Use the prompt: 'What queries do you suggest when someone types "runn"?'. The agent fires `suggest_queries` simulating a shopper and returns search trends such as 'running shoes', 'running shorts', demonstrating what customers see.

How do I ensure the integration only searches within a specific category?

You can explicitly ask the AI to restrict the search. For example: 'Using the Searchspring API, list the top 5 products strictly in the Electronics > Audio category'. The agent invokes `search_category`, returning items isolated within that structural path.

Searchspring + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Searchspring MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Searchspring tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
