MCP Connector
ShopSynch exposes a public Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants, agent builders, and developer tools.
The connector lets approved AI clients help merchants work with their ShopSynch store through a secure, permission-based connection. Typical use cases include store insights, product workflows, order support, customer context, inventory checks, and operational reporting.

}Compatibility
ShopSynch works with MCP clients that support remote MCP over Streamable HTTP.
| Client type | Status |
|---|---|
| OAuth-aware remote MCP clients | Supported |
| Claude Desktop or Claude.ai connectors | Supported when remote MCP and OAuth are enabled in the client |
| Cursor, Antigravity, VS Code, and agent IDEs | Supported when the client accepts remote MCP server URLs |
| ChatGPT native app | Requires a ChatGPT app package and marketplace review |
Native marketplace installation is separate from MCP compatibility. A client may support the ShopSynch MCP server directly before it appears as a one-click installable marketplace app.
Authentication
ShopSynch MCP uses OAuth for third-party AI apps and official connector flows.
Merchants sign in to ShopSynch, review the requested access, and approve the connection before an AI client can access store data. OAuth access does not bypass ShopSynch account permissions, tenant scoping, or per-tool permission checks.
ShopSynch does not recommend sharing private API keys directly with third-party AI tools.

Safety Rules
When using ShopSynch with an AI assistant:
- Review what the assistant wants to do before approving changes.
- Do not share private API keys, passwords, or dashboard credentials in chat.
- Only connect clients you trust.
- Revoke access from your ShopSynch account settings when a client is no longer needed.
- Treat store, customer, order, and payment data as confidential.
