ecommerceguide summary
A community MCP server that connects AI clients to the BigCommerce REST API. Its documented tools return products, customers and orders with filters such as email, customer group, order status and date, and the repository also ships create, update and delete scripts. It runs locally in Node over stdio, streamable HTTP or SSE, or from a Docker image, authenticating with a BigCommerce store hash and API account token set as environment variables.
Why it stands out
The README documents three read tools, while the repository also includes create, update and delete scripts for BigCommerce records.
