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

FAQ

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.

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.
