Manage stock levels in Claude Desktop

Control storage locations with this MCP Server

Organize your operations by querying your warehouse layout. The `list_locations` tool maps out your storage spots so you know exactly where to send stock. Everything stays synced. Use `list_attributes` to see custom fields you defined in your account for better organization.

Check your current setup status using `get_account_info`. It confirms your connection and shows the account details currently tied to your session. If you need to clean up your database, `delete_item` handles removals instantly. It keeps your inventory list relevant and accurate.
