How to Use the Wherefour MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I list all customers using Wherefour and Claude Code?

Run the command listcustomers within your script. The MCP Server executes this, and you capture the resulting customer records as JSON output in your standard out stream.

Q: Can I fetch purchase history with Wherefour and Claude Code?

Yes. You execute listpurchases from a script. This is ideal for background tasks where you need to process months of historical data, dumping it into an analytical database.

Q: Does the MCP Server handle formulas and recipes in Claude Code?

The script calls listformulas directly. You can then pipe that list into a secondary tool—like a rate limiting checker—to validate recipe usage across your operation.

Q: If I need to audit my stock lots, what do I use in Wherefour and Claude Code?

Use liststocklots. The resulting list of lot identifiers is clean data you can immediately pass into a subsequent script step for deep analysis or archiving.

Run Wherefour ERP tasks headless for Claude Code. Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and shell scripting.

Perplexity

Automate Inventory Checks with the MCP Server

You can write a simple script that checks inventory levels across multiple sites. The agent runs `list_inventory_items` to get all products, then uses `search_inventory` to filter them by location code. This works great in a GitHub Action. Your pipeline executes the tool call, pipes the resulting JSON data into a shell variable, and continues with subsequent steps.

Process Order Data using Wherefour's MCP Server

Need to validate order status for nightly runs? The script calls `list_orders` first. Then, it can loop through the results, calling `get_order` on each ID to pull full details needed for compliance checks. Since this is headless, the output is clean JSON piped directly into log files or another processing tool, making debugging simple.

Maintain Vendor and Customer Records with Wherefour's MCP Server

Set up a cron job to check supplier agreements. The script calls `list_vendors` to get all partners, then uses `get_inventory_item` to verify that each vendor provides the required components. This sequence confirms supply chain readiness without any graphical interface—just pure terminal output for your CI/CD logs.
