MCP support
The hosted MCP server exposes Channable read and write tools to MCP clients using OAuth sign-in. Write operations can affect live marketplace orders and availability; requests are not automatically retried.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://channable.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http channable https://channable.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"channable": {
"url": "https://channable.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 Channable credentials.

Account access and marketplace effects
Only a company owner can generate the API token under Company settings → Channable API. Find the project ID in its Settings. Tokens expire after one year; revoke the dedicated token to stop access. Usage and billing follow the company ID.
Requested customer contact/address, order and return data reaches your chosen AI client and LLM provider; API tokens do not. Shipment, cancellation, return and stock tools can change live marketplace orders and availability. Mark-manual stops Channable processing without notifying the marketplace. Confirm targets and values before changes. No request is automatically retried; check Channable before retrying an uncertain or partial write. Independent integration; no vendor approval or endorsement claimed.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
