Evidence-backed setup

Install & Agents

Choose your MCP client. A client connects to the MCP server; the language model is selected inside that client. Only stored, source-backed configurations are shown.

Claude Code

Local stdio

MCP100 logic checked

claude mcp add bigcommerce -- npx "mcp-remote" "https://YOUR_BIGCOMMERCE_MCP_SERVER_URL"

The publisher connection details were combined with this client's official MCP transport configuration; installation was not executed by MCP100.

Verify safely: Restart Claude Code, confirm bigcommerce tools are listed, and perform one read-only test with non-sensitive data.

Uninstall and revoke

Remove bigcommerce from Claude Code, restart the client, remove any separately installed package, and revoke dedicated credentials if used.

Evidence & methodology

Publisher-documented setup is not the same as MCP100 execution testing. “MCP100 logic checked” means the stored configuration shape was reviewed, not that third-party MCP software was run.

Reviewed access

Access & risk

Review the exact access boundary before connecting this MCP to accounts, credentials, or sensitive data.

Authentication: The hosted endpoint uses BigCommerce store authorization.
Permissions: BigCommerce store, channel, customer, and application permissions govern available commerce data.
Data handling: Authorized service data and tool results pass through the MCP server to the connected AI client. Review the publisher and client data policies before using sensitive retail & e-commerce information.
Cost: The MCP integration has no separately verified MCP100 price conclusion. Publisher subscriptions, API usage, compute, storage, and AI-client charges may apply.
Risk and cautions: The capability is Beta and early access, with a short operating history. Use a test environment where practical, least-privilege credentials, narrowly enabled tools, and explicit confirmation for mutations. MCP100 did not execute third-party server code during this documentation review.

Markdown Content:

Archive a B2B quote via the API

The Update a Quote endpoint now supports archiving a quote by sending {"status": "archived"} in the request body.

Archive a quote — send PUT /api/v3/io/rfq/{quote_id} with body {"status": "archived"} to hide the quote from the Buyer Portal
Idempotent — re-archiving an already-archived quote returns 200 without re-running the archive flow
404 on missing quote — archive requests for a non-existent quote_id return a 404 response

For details, see the Quotes overview and the Update a Quote endpoint reference.

BigCommerce MCP Server (Beta)

The BigCommerce MCP server lets AI agents — like Claude, Cursor, and Warp — interact with a BigCommerce storefront using purpose-built commerce tools, available since April 28, 2026.

B2C Storefront server — guest shopping flow with tools to search the catalog, fetch product details, manage a cart, and generate a checkout URL
Bring-your-own client — connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Warp using a store-specific MCP server URL
Coming soon — customer_login for personalized pricing, order history, and account features, plus a B2B storefront server

Enable the server under Settings → Early access in the control panel. For details, see the MCP Server overview and the B2C Storefront server reference.
