Key Capabilities
Build Live Product Search
Connect your Vercel AI SDK app to the Searchspring catalog. Your agent can run a `search_products` query based on user input, and results stream into your React components in real time. No more loading spinners for simple searches. For more complex UIs, use `search_filtered` to apply facets like size or color, and `search_sorted` to reorder by price. The AI client handles the query, and the `ai` package streams the updated product list back to the user instantly from the MCP server.
Power Real-Time Suggestions
This server gives your agent the `suggest_queries` tool. As a user types into a search bar, your Vercel AI SDK app can send the partial input to your agent, which then gets relevant search suggestions from Searchspring. These suggestions aren't just static text; they are live recommendations based on the actual catalog. The result streams back, letting you build a fast, responsive autocomplete feature that helps customers find what they're looking for.
MCP Server for Product Details
When a user clicks a product, you don't need a separate API call. Your AI client can use the `search_sku` tool from this MCP server to pull full details for that one item. It’s a direct lookup, so it’s fast. You can also construct brand or category pages on the fly. Just have the agent call `search_brand` or `search_category`. The Vercel AI SDK will stream the product data right into your page components as it arrives.
