3,760+ retailers VTEX en 67 países y 12 líneas de negocio. API REST, CLI y 12 herramientas MCP para agentes de IA. Open source: pip install cli-market. 12 MCP tools. Busca, compara y compra desde la terminal.
What inspired me: VTEX powers e-commerce for Nike, Carrefour, Samsung, and 3,760+ brands — all sharing the same public API. But that API is designed for storefronts, not for programmatic access or AI agents. There was no aggregation layer.
So I built one. A single Python connector that maps VTEX's endpoints across every retailer. One JSON schema. Query "milk" and get results from Carrefour Brazil, Sainsbury's UK, and Wong Peru in one response.
12 MCP tools included.
Open source.
MIT.
pip install cli-market.
The cross-retailer checkout orchestration is the capability that immediately made me pause. If an agent can trigger checkout across multiple retailers via MCP, what does the authorization model look like in practice? Specifically, is the checkout tool designed to require an explicit human-confirmation step before execution, or can an agent call it autonomously based on a user intent signal?
Interesting angle - most "AI agent + commerce" plays go through Shopify/Amazon APIs. VTEX-first via CLI is a sharper wedge for LatAm. Question: are the 12 MCP tools wrapping the same REST endpoints, or do they expose composite operations (e.g., compare-then-buy as one tool call)?

Who hunted CLI Market?
CLI Market was hunted by Ricardo Cuba. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
