How to Use the Ecwid MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the Ecwid MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http -- in your terminal. Ensure all flags come before the server name. The configuration saves directly to your /.claude.json file.

Q: Does Claude Code support Ecwid category listings?

It does. The agent calls listcategories to pull the full taxonomy of your store. This is useful for headless build processes that need to generate static routing based on live product categories.

Manage your Ecwid store directly from the terminal with Claude Code.

Perplexity

Headless Inventory Automation

The `update_inventory` tool lets you script stock adjustments right from your shell. You can pipe warehouse data into Claude Code, and it will execute the exact API calls to sync quantities across your catalog. Before updating, your agent runs `search_products` to verify current SKUs and stock levels. It handles the pagination, parses the JSON response, and applies the deltas without you ever opening a browser tab.

CI/CD Order Auditing via MCP Server

The `search_orders` tool fits perfectly into automated cron jobs. You can schedule Claude Code to run a daily script that pulls all orders with pending fulfillment and pipes the output to a Slack webhook. For deeper inspection, the script triggers `get_order` on specific IDs. It extracts buyer details and payment statuses, logging the results to your terminal or a dedicated audit file.

Store State and Profile Management

The `get_app_storage` tool retrieves application state values by key. This allows your CI/CD pipelines to read custom variables from Ecwid before deploying frontend updates. Your agent also uses `get_profile` and `list_coupons` to validate store configurations. If a deployment requires specific discount codes to be active, Claude Code verifies their existence in the terminal before proceeding.
