Real-time stock updates in Claude Desktop

Keep your inventory accurate without leaving your desktop chat. When an item sells out or needs a quick adjustment, you can tell Claude Desktop to run `update_product_stock` to push the new numbers to your Channable projects instantly. This stops overselling before it happens. Your agent checks current levels and updates your listings across all channels in one quick step, avoiding the usual manual back-and-forth in the browser.

Direct order and shipping lookups

Track down customer orders using Claude Desktop's local environment. The agent calls `get_order_details` and `list_order_shipments` to pull tracking numbers and delivery statuses right into your conversation. You don't have to search through multiple tabs to find out where a package is. Just ask Claude to check the order ID, and it pulls the full shipment breakdown directly from the Channable MCP Server.

Track returns and project channels

Monitor your storefront health using the Channable MCP Server by listing active channels and returns. Claude Desktop uses `list_connected_channels` and `list_customer_returns` to show you which marketplaces are active and what items are coming back. Having this data in your chat makes it easy to spot patterns in product returns or channel performance. You get a clear picture of your Channable setup without logging into different merchant portals.
