What is the BigCommerce MCP Server?
Connect your BigCommerce account to any AI agent and empower it to operate your entire storefront backend, analyzing transaction metrics, verifying inventory structures, and managing live customer payloads natively.
What you can do
- Catalog & Products — Browse product pages, retrieve deep dimensional variations explicitly, and trace active brand/category mappings
- Orders & Transactions — Fetch macro native lists of live orders, dive into specific payloads, and dissect physical line-items independently
- Customers & Profiles — Explore natively attached user profiles extracting precise lifetime order impact and structural routing paths
- Coupons & Rules — Evaluate distinctly mapped active discounting strategies, validating constraints securely inside boundaries
- Store Information — Audit high-level enterprise configuration bounds capturing localized active settings intuitively
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your BigCommerce API Token and Store Hash
- Start fetching operational logistics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible environment
Command your sales terminal directly without logging into complex control panels and drilling into submenus. Your AI retrieves exact order details the moment you request them.
Who is this for?
- E-Commerce Managers — oversee gross transactional behavior checking specific line-items and discounting validity fluidly
- Backend Developers — prototype custom cart endpoints ensuring product variants match the catalog logic quickly via chat
- Customer Support — locate explicit order problems, verify exact shipping details, and pull underlying customer data in seconds

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent see exactly what items are inside a specific order?
Yes. While get_order yields the financial macro parameters, executing get_order_products descends specifically into the transaction to parse independent line items, variants, and precise inventory counts attached directly.
Are promotional coupons and discounts strictly observable?
Absolutely. You can request list_coupons to explicitly audit exact active promo codes mapping boundaries like expiration constraints implicitly inside the logic.
Can my AI automatically complete refunds or modify orders?
No. To ensure absolute data governance regarding financial boundaries, endpoints are firmly scoped to retrieving live operational states recursively and reading inventory without risking active payment mutation.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
