Use a compatible AI assistant to request supported store operations through API2Cart. Supported MCP workflows do not require a custom connector.
The old way costs you time
Running a store means juggling orders, inventory, and customer questions every day. Usually, adding a new tool means opening a developer ticket first. Then you wait for the integration. And you hope nothing breaks.
Now you just ask
The API2Cart MCP Server lets a compatible MCP client request authorized store operations through API2Cart. Instead of building a separate connector, you can use plain-language prompts for supported workflows.
What can you ask it?
- “Show me today’s unfulfilled orders”
- “Update the price on this product to $49.99”
- “Find every customer who ordered from Ukraine last month”
- “List all out-of-stock products”
Depending on the token's permissions, the assistant can request supported read or write operations through API2Cart. This can reduce spreadsheet exports and manual lookups, but important write actions should still be reviewed, monitored, and tested.
You stay in control
Every AI assistant connects through a token that you create. So you decide exactly what it can see and do:
- Choose which store connections the assistant can reach
- Choose what it can do — read only, or read and write
- Set how long the access lasts, from 1 hour to 180 days
- Revoke access anytime, instantly
An MCP token avoids sharing the store's original credentials directly with the client. Effective access still depends on token scope, connection permissions, client configuration, and operational safeguards. Treat every token as a secret, grant only the permissions the workflow needs, use shorter lifetimes where practical, and revoke a token if it may be compromised.
Getting started
- Open Settings > MCP in your API2Cart dashboard
- Click Generate New Token and give it a name
- Click Connect an MCP client to get a ready-made setup for your assistant
- Start asking
For supported workflows, this can avoid a custom integration project while keeping store access within the token permissions you configure.
