What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data. Think of it as a USB port for AI: once a service offers an MCP server, any compatible assistant (such as Claude, Cursor or VS Code) can plug into it and use its functions.

What the sleekshop MCP server can do

The sleekshop MCP server exposes the sleekshop API to your AI assistant. That means you can manage your shop in plain language instead of clicking through the backend or writing code. Among other things, your assistant can:

Manage products and content: create, update and look up products, variations, blog posts and other content elements, including SEO data.
Organise your catalogue: create and edit categories and classes and list what is inside them.
Handle orders: search orders, retrieve order details, invoices and confirmations.
Work with customers: search users and look up or update their data.
Run promotions: create coupon codes in bulk.
Keep stock in check: manage warehouse entities and book inventory in and out.
Analyse and automate: run aggregations on your shop data and set up webhooks.

Why this is useful

Many everyday shop tasks are repetitive: writing and publishing a blog post, updating SEO fields across products, finding last week's orders or generating 50 coupon codes for a campaign. With MCP, you describe the goal and the assistant does the work through the API. A prompt like "Write a blog post about our new MCP server and publish it in English" is enough. This saves time, lowers the barrier for non-technical team members and lets developers prototype faster without writing integration code first.

Security stays in your hands: the server only acts after you log in to your own sleekshop instance, and the session token expires after a short time.

How to install it

The sleekshop MCP server is hosted, so there is nothing to install locally. You only need an MCP-compatible client.

Create a channel: In your sleekshop backend, create a new channel named sleekshop-mcp.
Add the server: In your AI client, add a new remote MCP server (in Claude, this is a custom connector) with the URL https://mcp.sleekshop.io/mcp.
Log in to your shop: Ask your assistant to log in to sleekshop and give it your shop's subdomain (the part before .sleekshop.net).
Confirm in the browser: The assistant returns a login link. Open it, sign in with your sleekshop credentials and tell the assistant you are done.
Start working: From now on, just tell your assistant what you need, for example "Show me the products in category X" or "Create ten 10% coupons".

Tip: Login sessions expire after a few minutes for security reasons. If a request fails with a token error, simply log in again.

Conclusion

The sleekshop MCP server turns your AI assistant into a capable shop co-pilot. Connect it once, and managing content, catalogue and orders becomes a conversation.
