Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Searchspring works with the most popular AI clients.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Searchspring to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Searchspring, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Searchspring. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Searchspring owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing large-scale e-commerce catalogs who need to move between data analysis and storefront management quickly.

  • 01

    E-commerce Managers

    They use the agent to identify merchandising gaps or find out-of-stock items in specific categories.

  • 02

    Developers

    They use the capability to verify that custom JSON facets and sorting rules are working before deploying UI changes.

  • 03

    Customer Support

    They use the agent to look up exact SKU specs and pricing without leaving their chat interface.

FAQ

Questions Searchspring owners ask.

  • 01

    What is Searchspring?

    Searchspring, now part of Athos Commerce, is an e-commerce platform providing site search and merchandising capabilities.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide my own API credentials?

    You only need to provide your Searchspring Site ID. Vinkius handles the hosting and management of the connection.

  • 04

    Can I see product images through the AI?

    Yes, the MCP allows your agent to pull in high-resolution product images along with pricing and specs.

  • 05

    How can I check if my site's autocomplete is working?

    You can use the suggest_queries capability to see the exact autocomplete suggestions your customers see on the front end.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
