Details

From the project README

Printful MCP by usefulapi

Use Printful from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — browse the catalog, orders, shipping rates and sales stats, and create draft orders, files and mockups. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Printful credentials.

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

Connect

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

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

On first connect you'll provide your Printful Private Token (developers.printful.com > Your tokens), plus an optional default store ID. They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

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.
