CLI Market: Open-source Python connector aggregates VTEX e-commerce API across 3,760+ retailers for AI agents
By
Ricardo Cuba
The kind of bagel you'd toss to the pigeons.
Summary
A developer built an open-source Python connector (CLI Market) that aggregates VTEX's e-commerce API across 3,760+ retailers in 67 countries. The tool provides a single JSON schema, REST API, CLI, and 12 MCP tools for AI agents to query products across multiple retailers (e.g., Carrefour Brazil, Sainsbury's UK, Wong Peru) in one response. It's MIT-licensed and installable via pip.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledVTEX 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.
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.
