SCAPI Custom APIs
MCP tools for working with custom SCAPI endpoints — scaffold a new endpoint locally, then check its registration status once deployed. Available in the SCAPI, PWAV3, and STOREFRONTNEXT toolsets (SCAPI is always enabled).
scapi_custom_api_generate_scaffold— create the schema, manifest, and script stub for a new custom API in a cartridge (local, no auth).scapi_custom_apis_get_status— check whether deployed custom API endpoints are registered on an instance (requires OAuth).
For schema definitions of custom APIs, use scapi_schemas_list with apiFamily: "custom".
scapi_custom_api_generate_scaffold
Scaffold a new custom SCAPI endpoint in an existing cartridge. Creates schema.yaml (OAS 3.0 contract), api.json (endpoint mapping), and script.js (implementation stub) under rest-apis/<apiName>/.
Authentication
No authentication or instance required. This tool writes files locally into your project.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
apiName | string | Yes | API name in kebab-case (e.g. my-products). Must start with a lowercase letter; only letters, numbers, and hyphens. |
cartridgeName | string | No | Cartridge that will contain the API. Omit to use the first cartridge found under the project (working directory or projectRoot). |
apiType | "admin" | "shopper" | No | shopper (siteId, customer-facing) or admin (no siteId). Default: shopper. |
apiDescription | string | No | Short description of the API. |
projectRoot | string | No | Project root for cartridge discovery. Default: MCP working directory (--project-directory / SFCC_PROJECT_DIRECTORY). |
outputDir | string | No | Output directory override. Default: project root (scaffold writes under cartridge path). |
Returns: {scaffold, outputDir, files: [{path, action}], postInstructions}. Errors if no cartridge is found.
Usage
Create a shopper API (default cartridge):
Scaffold a custom API named product-recommendations, type shopper, with description "Product recommendations by segment".Create an admin API in a specific cartridge:
Create a custom admin API named inventory-sync in cartridge app_custom.Next steps after scaffolding
- Edit
schema.yamlto define paths, request/response schemas, and operation IDs. - Implement
script.jsendpoint logic. - Deploy the cartridge and activate the code version to register the API.
- Verify with
scapi_custom_apis_get_statusthat endpoints show asactive.
Shopper APIs are available at https://{shortCode}.api.commercecloud.salesforce.com/custom/{apiName}/v1/organizations/{organizationId}/... and require the siteId query parameter and ShopperToken authentication.
scapi_custom_apis_get_status
Check the registration status of custom SCAPI endpoints deployed on your B2C Commerce instance. Queries the live instance and returns endpoint status (active or not_registered) with per-site details.
Authentication
Requires OAuth credentials with the sfcc.custom-apis scope. See Configuring Scopes and B2C Credentials for setup details.
Configuration priority: Flags (--server, --client-id, --client-secret) → Environment variables (SFCC_SERVER, SFCC_CLIENT_ID, SFCC_CLIENT_SECRET) → dw.json config file
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
status | "active" | "not_registered" | No | Filter by endpoint status. Omit to return all endpoints. |
groupBy | "site" | "type" | No | Group output by siteId or type (Admin/Shopper). Omit for flat list. |
columns | string | No | Comma-separated field names to include. Omit for defaults (7 fields). Use all field names for complete data. |
Default columns: type, apiName, cartridgeName, endpointPath, httpMethod, status, siteId.
Returns: One row per endpoint per site with status (active or not_registered) and metadata (type, apiName, cartridgeName, endpointPath, httpMethod, siteId).
Usage
List all endpoints:
List custom SCAPI endpoints on my instance.Show only active endpoints, grouped by site:
List active custom API endpoints grouped by site.See Also
