Order and Payment Audits in Claude Desktop

The `get_order` tool pulls the exact line items, addresses, and fulfillment states of any purchase directly into your Claude Desktop chat window. If a payment hangs, your agent runs `capture_payment` to settle the transaction without you opening the admin dashboard. You get instant access to transaction history during customer service chats. This MCP Server runs locally via stdio or remotely, letting Claude Desktop pull live order states during support triages.

Instant Product Catalog Inspection

The `list_products` tool queries your headless catalog to check current variants, prices, and options inside Claude Desktop. If you need to drill down into a specific item, `get_product` returns the complete database record instantly. Managing stock levels during planning sessions becomes a conversational task. Claude Desktop uses `list_collections` to group items, giving you a clear view of your store layout without SQL queries.

Regional Market and CRM Auditing

The `list_regions` tool reveals active currencies, tax rates, and payment providers configured in your backend. When verifying regional pricing, your agent calls `get_store_config` to confirm local settings match your expectations. Customer profiles stay updated when you query `list_customers` or target a specific user via `get_customer`. You can cross-reference buyer history with regional tax rates without leaving the Claude Desktop app.
