Catalog Machine MCP by usefulapi

Catalog Machine MCP by usefulapi

Use your Catalog Machine account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read products, categories, orders and catalogs, update products and rebuild catalog PDFs. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://catalog-machine.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://catalog-machine.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http catalog-machine https://catalog-machine.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
• VS Code: Add to VS Code.
• Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "catalog-machine": {
      "url": "https://catalog-machine.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Catalog Machine credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/catalog-machine/

On first connect you provide a Catalog Machine API key (Catalog Machine → Automation page → API section). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
