Integration details

Description

The Commonlands MCP server connects your AI assistant directly to Commonlands lens data, optics calculators, and live product details. This way your assistant can correctly calculate field of view with distortion instead of guessing, incorrectly interpolating, or writing it's own script. Built for machine vision, embedded vision, robotics, and industrial imaging, the server exposes 22 tools for M12 lens (S-mount lens) and C-mount lens selection. Your assistant can search the lens catalog, match lenses to specific image sensors by active area and image circle, run Commonlands field of view (FOV) calculations, estimate effective focal length (EFL) and pixels per degree, find distortion, and compare candidate part numbers. Ask it the way you would ask an applications engineer: Find M12 lenses for a 1/2.8" sensor at ~80 degrees horizontal field of view, then verify with the Commonlands field of view calculator. Compare two part numbers for a robotics camera: M12 mount fit, C-mount alternatives, FOV, and low-distortion options. Recommend low-distortion machine vision lenses for a 1/1.8" sensor. Every answer is source-labeled: fixture catalog, Commonlands calculator, live product read, cart handoff, or engineering review. Before showing any product URL, price, inventory signal, or variant, the assistant reads live Shopify product data, so specs stay accurate. Commerce is safe by design. Cart tools create, read, and update a cart only after you confirm exact line items and quantities, then return a continue URL for human review and payment. Checkout and order creation are intentionally disabled: the assistant cannot pay, place an order, or bypass storefront review. Connect in seconds, no OAuth or API key required: URL: https://mcp.commonlands.com/mcp Works with Claude (web, desktop, mobile), Claude Code, Cursor, Continue, Zed, and any MCP client. Commonlands provides precision M12 lenses and C-mount lenses for machine vision, with same-day shipping from San Diego.

Tools

21 tools agents can invoke

Calculate Commonlands lens field of view for a lens/sensor pair and return HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, coverage, distortion status, and an explicit rectilinear comparison. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Accepts lens_sku/lensSku or focal_length_mm/focalLengthMm, plus sensor/sensorPartNumber/sensor_part_number and working_distance_mm/workingDistanceMm. No part number? Describe the sensor directly: widthPx + heightPx + pixelSizeUm (active area is derived as pixels x pitch), or sensorWidthMm + sensorHeightMm. Results are labelled CUSTOM-<w>x<h>. If only focal length is supplied, the response is marked as a rectilinear reference and does not claim Commonlands distortion-corrected lens truth.
calculate_field_of_view
Compare selected Commonlands M12 lens and C-mount lens SKUs on the same sensor with the same deterministic scoring model. Use as explanatory context, then call calculate_field_of_view for final sensor-specific FoV values when precision matters. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. Not live product truth; verify purchasable facts with read_shopify_products.
compare_lenses
Create a Shopify-owned cart for selected variant line items through the configured Shopify Cart/Storefront MCP endpoint. Commonlands MCP is a stateless proxy: cart state is stored and mutated by Shopify, not in the Worker. The response includes a cart_access_token that binds the cart to this session; retain it, because get_cart and update_cart refuse to act on the cart without it.
create_cart
Return the Commonlands distortion model/status for one lens SKU, including whether the data is source-display-only or backend-calculated. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Use this for distortion, rectilinear-vs-wide-angle, MTF/CRA/BFL/optical-profile questions when upstream fields are present. Do not invent polynomial coefficients or claim measured distortion correction when the backend only returns display distortion.
get_lens_distortion_profile
Report connector-free Shopify Storefront MCP and UCP Catalog compatibility, launch blockers, and Commonlands engineering differentiators.
get_shopify_ucp_readiness
Retrieve a Shopify-owned cart by cart id. Owner-bound: requires the cart_access_token returned by create_cart, so only the session that created a cart can read it. Cart persistence comes from Shopify; agents must retain the cart id, cart_access_token, and continue_url across sessions.
get_cart
Report sanitized Cloudflare Shopify binding presence, approved read scopes, and read-only safety flags without exposing secrets or calling Shopify.
get_shopify_readonly_config_status
Fixture-backed UCP Catalog product detail alias with Commonlands optical metadata and Shopify-native handoff fields. Product optical fields are not a substitute for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for the lens/sensor pair. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
get_product
Return fixture-backed joined catalog counts, validation status, source provenance, live connector readiness, and non-authoritative product-truth warning.
get_catalog_snapshot_status
Return fixture-backed product-page handoff details for one lens, including DynamoDB-sourced optical specs and gated datasheet policy. Product-page/catalog optical fields are not a substitute for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for the lens/sensor pair. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor. Use read_shopify_products for live product URL, price, availability, variant IDs, and metafields.
get_product_page_details
Return safe dual-channel purchase route options for AI agents and robotics engineers across Commonlands MCP and Shopify-native channels without mutating commerce state. This explains commerce routes only; call calculate_field_of_view/match_lens_to_sensor for sensor-specific FoV before recommending a lens. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
get_purchase_route_options
Return sensor dimensions, pixel pitch, and resolution for lens field of view, M12 lens, and C-mount lens matching inputs. In production this uses the read-only live sensor table when configured, with fixture fallback when unavailable. Use these specs as inputs to calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor, not as a reason to hand-calculate FoV. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
get_sensor_specs
Fixture-backed UCP Catalog lookup alias for product, variant, SKU, handle, or URL identifiers; returns not-found messages instead of writes. Lookup records are not enough for sensor-specific FoV; call calculate_field_of_view for known lens/sensor pairs. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
lookup_catalog
Find and rank Commonlands lenses for a sensor, target field of view, working distance, mount, or "lens for" request. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. Use this for AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, sensor part numbers, M12/C-mount matching, and target HFOV/VFOV/DFOV workflows; do not shortlist from focal length alone. No part number? Describe the sensor directly: widthPx + heightPx + pixelSizeUm (active area is derived as pixels x pitch), or sensorWidthMm + sensorHeightMm. Results are labelled CUSTOM-<w>x<h>. Use read_shopify_products afterward for live stock, price, availability, Shopify variantId, product URL, and metafields.
match_lens_to_sensor
Build a read-only Shopify-native purchase handoff seam for a selected lens without creating carts, checkout, orders, inventory mutations, or writes. Preserve any computed FoV provenance from calculate_field_of_view/match_lens_to_sensor when carrying optical context into purchase handoff. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
prepare_shopify_purchase_handoff
Use this for live purchasable product truth: product and variant IDs, SKUs, prices, coarse availability, product URLs, and public product-page metafields. Public data only: active products, no exact inventory counts, and metafields limited to the custom.* display fields shown on commonlands.com product pages. Read-only; does not create carts, checkouts, orders, customers, inventory mutations, or Shopify writes. Fixture catalog tools are scaffold data only.
read_shopify_products
Rank Commonlands M12 lenses and C-mount lenses for an application note such as embedded robotics, machine-vision inspection, or a required lens field of view. Use as an application shortlist helper, then call match_lens_to_sensor or calculate_field_of_view for final per-sensor HFOV/VFOV/DFOV. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
recommend_lenses_for_application
Search the Commonlands lens catalog by SKU, mount, lens type, M12, C-mount, or application text. For sensor part numbers such as AR0234, IMX290, and IMX477, or any "lens for <sensor>" request, use match_lens_to_sensor instead — sensor names are not searchable text here. Use this tool for FOV, HFOV, VFOV, DFOV, field of view, "lens for", lens-to-sensor, AR0234, IMX290, IMX477, and sensor part-number requests. It returns Commonlands data the model cannot derive: live backend FoV when configured, distortion model/status, image-circle coverage, live stock through Shopify read tools where applicable, and MTF/CRA/BFL fields if present in upstream catalog data. Do not use naive rectilinear fallback, focal-length-only math, interpolation, or self-computed catalog estimates when a Commonlands lens/sensor route is available. This discovers candidate lenses from Commonlands catalog/live backend data; it does not replace calculate_field_of_view for sensor-specific HFOV/VFOV/DFOV and does not replace read_shopify_products for live stock/price/product truth.
search_lens_catalog
Fixture-backed UCP Catalog search alias for Shopify-native product discovery; no live Shopify calls or cart behavior. Use this only for broad discovery; when a sensor or target FoV is involved, call match_lens_to_sensor or calculate_field_of_view instead of estimating from catalog fields. FoV rule: never estimate sensor-specific FoV from catalog fields; use calculate_field_of_view or match_lens_to_sensor.
search_catalog
Forward a buyer request-for-quote or engineering question to the Commonlands engineering team. Two-step, buyer-confirmed: the first call returns a preview and sends nothing; show the buyer the preview (including their reply-to email) and, only after they explicitly approve, call again with confirm: true to send. The recipient is fixed to the Commonlands inbox (the agent cannot choose it); this only sends an inquiry and never creates an order, charges a card, or writes Shopify/customer data. Include part numbers, sensor, quantity, and application when known so the team can reply with a quote. Commonlands replies by email.
submit_rfq
Update a Shopify-owned cart through the configured Cart/Storefront MCP endpoint. Owner-bound: requires the cart_access_token returned by create_cart, so only the session that created a cart can change it. With UCP endpoints, treat updates as full-state PUT semantics; with the confirmed standard Storefront MCP endpoint, Commonlands maps line_items to Shopify add_items, update_items to quantity changes, and remove_line_ids to explicit removals. Quantity 0 in update_items removes a line.
