Perplexity

Claude Desktop lets you verify licenses instantly

Pop your customer's license key directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. The agent runs `verify_license` against your live store data to tell you if the buyer is active or expired. You don't have to keep a browser tab open to check your Gumroad dashboard. Claude Desktop uses `get_sale` through this MCP integration to pull the exact purchase history so you can answer customer support questions on the spot.

Manage digital products using this MCP Server

Keep tabs on your digital inventory right inside your workspace. When you ask about your catalog, the Claude Desktop agent calls `list_products` to extract pricing and file details from your store. The agent reads the response and gives you a clean breakdown of what's selling. It pairs that with `get_product` to fetch deep technical details without you needing to click around the Gumroad creator dashboard.

Handle customer refunds and track subscription status

Processing a refund no longer requires logging into a separate web portal. Tell Claude Desktop to run `refund_sale` for a specific transaction ID, and the agent processes the return in seconds. You can also ask the agent to run `list_subscribers` to see who is currently paying for your newsletter. It gets the current list and formats it directly inside your chat view.
