We’re excited to announce that Vortex IQ has officially launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Yext API, unlocking AI-powered automation and orchestration across digital search, knowledge bases, local listings, FAQs, and location services for e-commerce businesses.

Yext is trusted by global brands to manage structured content and deliver consistent answers across their websites, store locators, and third-party platforms like Google, Apple, and Amazon Alexa. Now, with the MCP Server integration, AI agents from Vortex IQ can query, update, and act on Yext data in real time — transforming static content and search results into intelligent, responsive experiences.

What Is the MCP Server for Yext API?

Vortex IQ’s MCP Server for Yext API converts Yext’s platform endpoints — including Knowledge Graph, Search, Pages, Reviews, and Listings — into agent-readable functions. These agents can:

  • Monitor user queries and engagement from Yext-powered search experiences
  • Optimise content, FAQs, and listings based on live feedback and behaviour
  • Automate updates to store hours, inventory messages, or location data
  • Integrate with GA4, Shopify, Magento, Klaviyo, and CMS platforms

Your Yext data becomes part of a fully orchestrated AI system that adapts based on real-time signals.

Use Cases: Yext API + Vortex IQ MCP Server for E-Commerce

Whether you’re a retail chain, DTC brand, or marketplace, here’s how AI agents can unlock powerful automation using Yext.

1. Intelligent Search Query Optimisation
  • Agent monitors queries on Yext site search that return poor engagement or high bounce
  • Analyses query intent and matches to product or FAQ content
  • Suggests or auto-creates new FAQs, help articles, or redirects to PDPs
  • Logs impact on search satisfaction and click-through rate

Prompt: “If 100+ users search for ‘track my order’ and bounce, create an FAQ entry and link to order status tool.”

2. Automated FAQ Management Based on Behaviour
  • GA4 shows high exit rate from PDPs due to unanswered queries
  • Agent pulls top on-site search terms from Yext
  • Compares against existing FAQs and content
  • Automatically drafts missing entries and schedules for review/publishing
3. Real-Time Store Locator + Inventory Sync
  • Agent detects changes in opening hours, delivery windows, or holiday schedules from OrderWise or POS
  • Updates Yext store listings and locator entries instantly
  • Syncs data to Google Maps, Apple Maps, and voice assistants for consistency

Example: “Update store hours for Bank Holiday across all locations and publish to listings in one click.”

4. Location-Based Product Promotion
  • Agent segments users based on proximity or interest in certain locations
  • Customises site banners, PDPs, or search results
  • Highlights local delivery/pickup availability or regional promotions using Yext location data

Prompt: “If user is within 10 miles of Store A, display local availability tag and ‘Pick up in store’ CTA.”

5. Knowledge Graph Content Personalisation
  • Agent uses Yext Knowledge Graph to manage structured product, service, and location content
  • Dynamically personalises search results, site search modules, and chatbot replies based on user intent
  • Integrates with chatbots, product finders, or voice assistants
6. Review Monitoring + Sentiment Alerts
  • Agent scans Yext Reviews API for low ratings or sentiment drops at specific locations
  • Automatically notifies CX or store managers
  • Suggests template responses, flags repeat complaints, or pauses location-specific ads
7. Cross-System Automation with AI Agents
