What is the Gelato MCP Server?
Connect your Gelato account to any AI agent to automate your print-on-demand (POD) lifecycle through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Gelato enables creators and businesses to produce and ship custom products globally without inventory. This MCP server allows you to manage orders, retrieve product catalogs, and track real-time shipping statuses directly through natural conversation.
Key Features
- Order Management — List all print orders, fetch detailed status metadata, and create new global orders programmatically.
- Product Discovery — Access available product catalogs and retrieve detailed specifications for individual items (product UIDs).
- Fulfillment Tracking — Retrieve tracking numbers and real-time shipment details for every order in your account.
- Pricing & Quoting — Request real-time shipping and production quotes for potential orders across different regions.
- Webhook Visibility — List configured webhooks to ensure your internal systems are receiving real-time production updates.
- Account Oversight — Verify your account metadata and API connectivity to maintain a seamless production workflow.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get an API Key for Gelato?
Log in to your Gelato dashboard, navigate to Developers > API keys, and you can generate a new production or test key there.
What is the difference between an Order ID and a Reference ID?
The Order ID is generated by Gelato, while the Reference ID is your own internal identifier passed during order creation to map the records.
Can I cancel an order via the agent?
Yes, use the 'cancel_print_order' tool. Note that cancellation is only possible if the order status is still 'created' and production hasn't started.
How do I find the correct product UID?
Use the 'list_catalog_products' tool to browse available items. The agent will return the unique 'productUid' needed for order creation.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
