Perplexity

Control inventory inside Claude Desktop

The `list_products` tool lets you pull your active inventory list straight into your desktop workspace. You can filter by category using `list_categories` or grab specific details with `get_product` without jumping back and forth to your web dashboard. This setup lets you query live stock numbers in seconds. Your agent handles the pagination and shows you exactly what is on your digital shelves right now.

Build carts directly via Claude Desktop MCP Server

The `create_cart` tool initializes a new cart instance right from your chat prompt. If a customer changes their mind, you can use `update_cart_item` or `add_to_cart` to modify their order details on the fly. Having these actions inside your workspace changes how you handle customer support. You just tell the desktop app what to add and it executes the API call instantly.

Generate checkout links and capture sales

The `generate_checkout_token` tool builds the payment bridge for your customer. Once the customer pays, you finalize the transaction with `capture_order` to close the loop. This direct link means you do not have to copy-paste payloads between windows. Your agent handles the transactional handshake directly through the MCP Server transport.
