Perplexity

Live inventory checks inside Claude Desktop

`get_inventory_status` pulls real-time stock levels directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. Stop logging into the Kibo admin portal just to verify if a SKU is available at a specific warehouse. Claude Desktop uses this tool to cross-reference stock numbers with `list_locations` to pinpoint exactly where your items are sitting. You get immediate answers without switching tabs.

Manage Kibo Commerce orders from your desktop

`list_orders` lets your local Claude Desktop app retrieve recent transactions without writing database queries. You can quickly pull up customer histories by feeding `list_customers` output into your active desktop workspace. This local setup runs via the stdio transport layer, meaning your customer data stays on your machine. Your agent resolves order discrepancies using `get_order_details` in seconds.

Instant catalog updates in the browser or app

`list_products` exposes your entire inventory metadata to claude.ai when using the remote MCP connector. You can map out your store structure by combining `list_categories` with specific platform configurations. Your browser-based agent reads `get_site_settings` to verify localized pricing rules. This setup handles the API calls while you focus on catalog strategy.
