MCP

The Product Data Exchange API Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Product Data Exchange API API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Product Data Exchange API MCP server provides AI agents with:

• Direct API access to Product Data Exchange API functionality
• Documentation search capabilities
• Real-time data from your Product Data Exchange API account
• Code generation assistance for Product Data Exchange API integrations

Product Data Exchange API MCP Server Setup

Product Data Exchange API hosts a remote MCP server at https://channel-docs.pdx.stibosystems.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stibo-community-trial": {
      "url": "https://channel-docs.pdx.stibosystems.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

1. Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
2. Start a new chat with the AI assistant
3. Ask about Product Data Exchange API - try questions like:
   • "How do I [common use case]?"
   • "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
   • "Create a [integration type] using Product Data Exchange API"

The AI should now have access to your Product Data Exchange API account data and documentation through the MCP server.
