Perplexity

Claude Code manages shipments

Pipe your shipping data through your terminal. Use `create_order_shipment` to attach tracking numbers to orders programmatically. It returns the status code immediately. You can pipe this output into your own scripts.

Order auditing with Claude Code

Query your store records without a browser. Claude Code uses `list_store_orders` to output a list of recent activity. It filters the output based on your command. You get the raw data you need to run your daily reports.

Test connections in Claude Code

Verify your setup before you start building. Run `test_orderdesk_connection` to confirm your API keys are working correctly. It saves you from debugging connection issues later. The MCP Server provides instant feedback on your status.
