To run the commercetools MCP server using npx, use the following command:
Client Credentials Authentication (Default)
# To set up all available tools (authType is optional, defaults to client_credentials)
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=all --clientId=CLIENT_ID --clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
# Explicitly specify client_credentials (optional)
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=all --authType=client_credentials --clientId=CLIENT_ID --clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
# To set up all read-only tools
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=all.read --clientId=CLIENT_ID --clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
# To set up specific tools
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=products.read,products.create --clientId=CLIENT_ID --clientSecret=CLIENT_SECRET --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
Access Token Authentication
# To set up all available tools with access token
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=all --authType=auth_token --accessToken=ACCESS_TOKEN --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
# To set up all read-only tools with access token
npx -y @commercetools/mcp-essentials --tools=all.read --authType=auth_token --accessToken=ACCESS_TOKEN --projectKey=PROJECT_KEY --authUrl=AUTH_URL --apiUrl=API_URL
Make sure to replace CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, PROJECT_KEY, AUTH_URL, API_URL, and ACCESS_TOKEN with your actual values. If using the customerId parameter, replace CUSTOMER_ID with the actual customer ID. Alternatively, you could set the API_KEY in your environment variables.
