BigCommerce + ChatGPT

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.

Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

BIGCOMMERCE_STORE_HASH, BIGCOMMERCE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

bigcommerce.com/docs/rest-catalog).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to BigCommerce → Settings → API → API Accounts → Create API Account → V2/V3 API token.
  2. Pick scopes — at minimum: Products (Read+Write), Orders (Read+Write), Customers (Read+Write), Information & Settings (Read).
  3. Copy the Access Token and note the API path — looks like https://api.bigcommerce.com/stores/{STORE_HASH}/v3/.
  4. 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.

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

  2. Clicca "Add custom connector".
  3. Compila:
    • Name: BigCommerce
    • MCP server URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → incolla la tua MCP API key (da AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Clicca Connect per autorizzare.
