Details
From the project READMEFinerWorks MCP by usefulapi
Use FinerWorks from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up orders and their production status, saved pending orders and virtual inventory, browse the product, media, style and framing catalog, price products, quote shipping and validate addresses. The server only reads and quotes: it never submits, changes or deletes an order. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own FinerWorks credentials.

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.
