MCP

Give your agent BigCommerce tools

Every BigCommerce action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's BigCommerce account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "bigcommerce",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Product:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "bigcommerce-create-product",
  arguments: {
    name: "Name",
    type: "Type",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the BigCommerce API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the BigCommerce API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://api.example.com/v1/me",
})

// Any allowed BigCommerce endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run BigCommerce actions from your backend

Connect a user's BigCommerce account once, then run Create Product on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "bigcommerce-create-product",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    bigcommerce: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    name: "Name",
    type: "Type",
  },
})

MULTI-APP

Use BigCommerce with other popular apps

Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair BigCommerce with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
