Manage lay-by orders in Claude Desktop

Handle your entire order lifecycle without leaving the chat interface. You can use `create_order` to start new plans or `cancel_order` when a customer changes their mind. This MCP Server provides the context your agent needs to act on active orders. Use `list_orders` to check status and `get_order` to pull specific details instantly.

Track deposits and payments

Keep your financial records accurate by logging payments as they happen. The `create_deposit` tool lets you register new funds against an existing plan manually. Check payment history for any account using `list_payments` or verify specific transactions with `get_payment`. It keeps your agent informed on every dollar movement.

Access customer data

Fetch shopper information quickly to resolve support tickets or verify account details. Use `list_customers` to scan your database or `get_customer` for individual profiles. Your agent gets direct access to the data needed for personalized service. It eliminates the back-and-forth between your dashboard and the chat window.
