How do I connect my Gelato account?

You subscribe to the MCP through Vinkius and then enter your Gelato API key. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start using the capabilities.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I actually place orders using my AI?

Yes. The create_print_order capability allows your agent to place new orders in your Gelato account through your chat interface.

Where do I find my Gelato API key?

You can find your API key in your Gelato dashboard under the Developers section.

Can I track shipments through the AI?

Yes. You can use the agent to retrieve tracking numbers and real-time shipment details for any order.

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' capability. 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' capability to browse available items. The agent will return the unique 'productUid' needed for order creation.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Gelato to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Gelato works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Gelato to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Gelato, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Gelato. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
