What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources in a standardized way. Think USB for AI. Before MCP, every integration was custom. Now any compliant AI client can talk to any compliant server.

The Orderain MCP server exposes your store as a set of tools. The AI reads the tool list, decides which one fits the user's request, and calls it. You get a working store managed by chat.

Open protocol

MCP is an open standard from Anthropic. Any AI client that supports MCP can use the Orderain server. No vendor lock.

Tools, not chatbots

The server exposes real actions (create_product, refund_order). The AI decides which to call. Real operations, not generic chat.

Your token, your data

Uses your existing Orderain API token. The MCP server is a thin wrapper over the headless API you already have access to.

Multi-client

Install once. Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Zed, and any future MCP-compatible client.

Every store operation. One chat interface.

The Orderain MCP server exposes the actions store owners take every day. The AI does them on your behalf.

Frequently asked

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources in a standardized way. It is essentially a universal interface so any compliant AI client can use any compliant server. Released late 2024, adopted across the AI ecosystem in 2025.

Do I need to be a developer to use this?

No. Once the MCP server is configured (a one-time copy-paste), you manage your Orderain store by chatting with Claude or any other AI client in plain English. The tools are designed for store owners, not developers.

Does the Orderain MCP server cost extra?

No. MCP access is included with your existing Orderain plan. Free tier gets read-only tools (list products, view orders). Solo, Team, and Business plans get the full read and write tool set with progressively higher monthly call limits.

How does authentication work?

The MCP server uses your existing Orderain API token. Generate it in your dashboard, paste into the MCP client config, done. No new auth system, no new accounts. The remote-hosted version (v2) will add OAuth for a click-based flow.

Which AI clients can use the Orderain MCP server?

Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol. At launch that includes Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Zed. Remote-hosted v2 will add Claude.ai web and ChatGPT support. The list is growing every month.

Can the AI make destructive changes (delete products, mass refund)?

You control which tools are exposed and which require explicit confirmation. By default, destructive operations (delete, mass refund, bulk delete) ask for confirmation. Read operations run silently. You can adjust permissions per token.

How is this different from Orderain Buddy?

Buddy is the AI agent that lives inside Orderain (you chat with it in the Orderain dashboard). The MCP server is the inverse, it lets Orderain live inside other AI clients (Claude, Cursor, etc.) so you can manage your store without opening Orderain at all. Both can coexist.

When does it launch?

v1 (local install) is in active development. Sign up for the notify list above and we'll email you the day it ships. Early subscribers get a 90-day Solo plan credit.
