We’re excited to announce that Vortex IQ has officially launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for gene_api, the popular GraphQL layer used by headless Magento (Adobe Commerce) storefronts.

With this release, e-commerce brands using gene_api can now automate storefront operations, personalise shopping experiences, and trigger back-end actions — all through intelligent AI agents that respond to real-time behavioural data and operational events.

What Is the MCP Server for gene_api?

gene_api exposes Adobe Commerce’s backend data via GraphQL, enabling high-performance headless storefronts and PWAs. Vortex IQ’s MCP Server adds an AI agent layer on top, allowing agents to:

  • Understand and interact with gene_api endpoints 
  • Execute GraphQL queries and mutations securely 
  • Automate catalogue changes, homepage updates, UX experiments, and more 
  • Connect user behaviour from Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and CRM systems to trigger intelligent storefront updates 

It’s a game-changer for modern e-commerce teams running composable storefronts on Adobe Commerce.

Why It Matters

Until now, personalising and optimising gene_api-powered storefronts required developer resources, manual A/B testing, and constant coordination between data, UX, and marketing teams.

With Vortex IQ, you can now:

  • Automate changes based on real-time performance 
  • Trigger storefront updates from analytics and customer insights 

Let agents run tests, iterate, and optimise — no engineering ticket required

E-Commerce Use Cases: gene_api + MCP Server + Vortex IQ AI Agents

Here are the most impactful ways merchants can use Vortex IQ’s agentic automation with gene_api:

1. Smart Homepage & PDP Content Personalisation
  • Agent monitors GA4 data for bounce rate, exit rate, session time by traffic source 
  • Based on trends, agent updates: 
    • Homepage banners 
    • Featured products 
    • Product detail page content (e.g. reorder elements or add urgency tags) 
  • All changes made via gene_api GraphQL mutations 

Prompt: “Replace homepage hero banner if bounce rate from mobile is above 70% today.”

2. Real-Time UX Experimentation & A/B Testing
  • Agent sets up A/B test via gene_api endpoints (e.g. different PDP layouts or CTA buttons) 
  • Monitors conversion metrics via GA4 or Adobe Analytics 
  • Automatically selects the winning version and rolls it out sitewide 
  • Logs results and sends summary to marketing or product team
3. Stock-Aware Product Merchandising
  • Agent pulls stock levels via Adobe Commerce API 
  • If stock is low, hides product from homepage or featured grid via gene_api 
  • If overstocked, agent promotes it through banners, collection reordering, or upsell blocks 

Example: “Promote overstocked jackets on the homepage for the next 7 days.”

4. Search & Category Optimisation Based on User Behaviour
  • GA shows users frequently bounce from a category or search results page 
  • Agent updates category structure, featured products, or facet filters 

Uses gene_api to push UI adjustments dynamically

5. Event-Triggered Personalisation
  • Agent detects: 
    • Repeat visitor with high session depth 
    • Cart abandoner returning within 48 hours 
    • User viewing high-margin items 
  • Agent tailors UI elements via gene_api: 
    • Show loyalty callout 
    • Offer last-chance promo 
    • Reorder content blocks or enable “continue shopping” feature
6. Performance Monitoring + Recovery
  • GA shows sudden spike in load time or drop in conversion rate on mobile 
  • Agent cross-references affected pages or components 
  • Uses gene_api to: 
    • Swap out heavy banners 
    • Disable third-party widgets 
    • Trigger alerts to frontend devs with precise session logs
7. Automated Promotions and Campaign Sync
  • Agent triggers seasonal promotions based on: 
    • Calendar 
    • Stock levels 
    • Bounce/exit rates 
  • Updates product pricing, PDP ribbons, and banners dynamically 
  • Ensures storefront reflects real-time campaigns with no delays
8. Agent Coordination Across Tools
Trigger Action via gene_api Other System
High PDP exits on mobile Reorder components, remove large media GA4 + CMS
Campaign landing page underperforming Swap content block layout Meta Ads
Low conversion in specific region Change homepage banner for geo audience Geo IP API
SKU trending Promote via homepage, reorder in collections Inventory API
