Frequently asked questions
Can I filter products by a specific category like 'T-shirts'?
Yes! Use the list_products tool and provide the category_id. The agent will return only the products belonging to that specific Printful category.
How do I get the exact pricing and stock for a specific size and color?
You should use the get_variant tool with the specific Variant ID. This provides the most granular data including price, stock availability, and specific attributes.
Does this server provide measurements for the products?
Yes, the get_product_sizes tool returns the complete size guide for a product ID, including measurements in both imperial (inches) and metric (cm) units.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
