BigCommerce + Claude
Drive BigCommerce (SaaS e-commerce platform) from any AI agent: products, variants, orders, customers, categories. 14 tools, API-key (X-Auth-Token) auth, per-store base URL.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_HASH, BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setup:
- Sign in to BigCommerce → Settings → API → API Accounts → Create API Account → V2/V3 API token.
- Pick scopes — at minimum: Products (Read+Write), Orders (Read+Write), Customers (Read+Write), Information & Settings (Read).
- Copy the Access Token and note the API path — looks like
https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{STORE_HASH}/v3/. - Set:
BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_HASH= the alphanumeric store hash from the URL (e.g.abcd1234)BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN= the access token
Authentication: header X-Auth-Token: ${BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN}. The base URL embeds the store hash.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
BigCommerce, and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
