ChannelEngine MCP by usefulapi

ChannelEngine MCP by usefulapi

Use your ChannelEngine account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. It reads orders, products, stock, shipments, returns, cancellations and notifications, and it can acknowledge orders and set stock levels. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://channelengine.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

• Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://channelengine.usefulapi.io/mcp.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http channelengine https://channelengine.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": {
    "channelengine": {
      "url": "https://channelengine.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 ChannelEngine credentials.

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

On first connect you provide your ChannelEngine tenant subdomain and Merchant API key (in ChannelEngine under Settings, Merchant API keys; the subdomain is the part before .channelengine.net). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
