Details

From the project README

CustomCat MCP by usefulapi

Browse the CustomCat catalog, your products and designs; check shipping; create and cancel orders.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you'll paste your CustomCat API key (the CustomCat app → Settings).

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.
