What is the Searchspring MCP Server?
Connect your Searchspring store (now part of Athos Commerce) to any AI agent to interact with your e-commerce product catalog conversationally. Bring enterprise-grade site search and merchandising directly into your AI workflows without manually browsing storefronts.
What you can do
- Product Discovery — Query your catalog using natural language, check stock availability, and pull in high-resolution product images and pricing
- Merchandising & Filtering — Narrow down thousands of SKUs using faceted parameters (size, color, brand) or strict price range thresholds instantly
- Autocomplete Trends — Expose the exact query suggestions (autocomplete) that your customers are seeing on the front-end to gauge search behavior
- Catalog Auditing — Browse through deep category trees or request specific details for a single SKU to verify if product metadata is synced correctly
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your unique Searchspring Site ID
- Start fetching product cards or auditing search logic natively from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible environment
Who is this for?
- E-commerce Managers — ask the AI to show all out-of-stock items in the 'Mens Shoes' category to identify merchandising gaps
- Developers — verify if newly integrated custom JSON facets and sorting rules are being parsed properly by the API before deploying front-end UI changes
- Customer Support — quickly lookup an exact SKU to confirm pricing and specs without leaving the chat interface when responding to a customer

Frequently asked questions
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
