Frequently asked questions
Can I progress an order to 'Shipped' natively inside Cursor?
Yes! Provide the order token context to the AI (or ask it to fetch recent orders) and instruct: 'Mark order SNIP-1234 as Shipped'. The agent will call the update_order_status endpoint, and your Snipcart dashboard will instantly sync up the new status.
Can the AI distinguish my test vs live orders?
The distinction entirely relies on which Secret API Key you supply. Snipcart has dedicated keys for 'Live' mode and 'Test' mode. Whichever key is saved in your credential injection config governs the space the AI operates within.
How do I check a customer's total spending history using LLMs?
Tell your AI to 'Look up the customer John Doe in Snipcart and fetch their details'. The agent first polls list_customers for the user directory ID, and then passes the match to get_customer_details to return their detailed transaction history completely synthesized for you.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Snipcart tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
