From the project READMEOrder Desk MCP by usefulapi
Use Order Desk from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — search orders and inventory items, read orders with their items and shipments, plus labelled writes to create or update orders, add items, notes and shipments, move orders between folders and manage inventory. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Order Desk Store ID and API key.
Live endpoint: https://order-desk.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/order-desk
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://order-desk.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http order-desk https://order-desk.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": {
"order-desk": {
"url": "https://order-desk.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 Order Desk credentials.

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.
