Perplexity

Manage your retail footprint via MCP Server

Setting up a local delivery network usually requires clicking through endless merchant portals. You skip that entirely here. Claude uses `add_shop` to register new store locations across China and `list_supported_cities` to figure out where Dada operates. Your PMs can ask for a store's current status, and the agent pulls it using `get_shop_detail`. If a phone number or address changes, `update_shop_info` pushes the fix instantly. Nobody has to log into a separate dashboard.

Price and dispatch local couriers

Before you commit to sending a package across Beijing, you need to know what it costs. Your agent uses the MCP connection to hit `query_delivery_fee` and grab exact pricing based on distance and package weight. Once the math checks out, `create_order` actually dispatches the rider. Claude handles the entire dispatch sequence right in your chat window, whether you use the local desktop app or the browser interface.

Track live orders in Claude Desktop

Customers call when things run late. Instead of keeping a tracking tab open, you just ask Claude for the status. The `get_order_detail` tool returns the courier's exact position and ETA. Mistakes happen. When a customer backs out, you tell your AI to kill the delivery. It fires `cancel_order` before the rider even picks up the goods, saving you the trip fee.

Common questions about Dada Now / 达达 MCP in Claude Desktop

You have two options. Add the server command to your local config file and restart the app. Alternatively, paste the remote server URL into the Integrations tab on Claude web.

Yes, it handles the whole flow. The AI checks pricing first, then executes the creation command when you confirm. You see the tracking details immediately in the chat.

Tell your agent the new street number. It pushes the change directly to the platform using the built-in update tool. The merchant portal updates in real time.

It runs perfectly on both. Local desktop users configure their JSON file, while web users just plug in the Vinkius remote URL. Both interfaces give you full access to the delivery tools.

Vinkius isolates every session in a V8 sandbox. When you query delivery fees or pull shop metadata, the token only lives for that specific request. Nothing gets stored permanently, and the sandbox dies the second your transaction finishes.
