Connect your store to Claude

You add your shop to Claude once, as a connector. After that you open a chat and ask.

Before you start, have the connector address from the module settings ready. It looks like https://yourshop.com/module/tellmyshop/mcp?token=…. If you didn't save it, generate a new one in the module.

Do I need a paid Claude account?

No. Any Claude account will do, including a free one. You buy TellMyShop once, with no subscription.

Add the connector in Claude.ai

  1. Sign in at claude.ai.

  2. Open Settings > Connectors.

  3. Click Add custom connector.

  4. Name: for example "My shop".

  5. Address (URL): paste your connector address.

  6. If Claude shows advanced settings with OAuth fields (Client ID, Client Secret), leave them empty. The module connects with the key inside the address, not with an OAuth sign-in.

  7. Click Add.

  8. Open a new chat and check that the connector is switched on in the tools menu under the message box.

Now type:

Connect to my shop and tell me what you can do.

Claude answers with your PrestaShop version, languages and what it is allowed to do. Right after installation that means: read only.

The connector also works in the Claude desktop and mobile apps on the same account.

Test the connection

In the module settings click Test connection. It checks that the shop answers. If it fails, see the FAQ.

A second connector for changes to the look

Changes to theme files work only through the service connector, which you add as a second, separate connector in Claude. First switch on the Look and deployments block in the module settings, because it is off after installation. Use the service address from the module settings and name it clearly, for example "My shop (service)". Switch it on only when you work on the look, and keep the daily connector for everything else.

The service connector works only from approved IP addresses. By default the list holds Anthropic's address range, which Claude.ai connects from.

First things to ask

All of these only read:

Run an SEO audit of my products and tell me the five most urgent fixes.

Which pages returned "not found" most often this month?

Why can't customers see product ref:ABC-1 in its category?

When you ask for a change, Claude shows a preview with the old and new values. Reply "yes" to save, or tell Claude what to adjust. A preview is valid for 30 minutes.

Keep the address private

Your connector address contains a secret key. Anyone who has it can use the connector. Don't paste it in emails or chats. If it leaks, generate a new one in the module settings and update the connector in Claude.

Technical details

Header instead of URL token. A token in the URL can end up in server and proxy logs. Where the client supports headers, use the address without ?token= and send Authorization: Bearer <token>.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http my-shop https://yourshop.com/module/tellmyshop/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <daily-token>"

Check with claude mcp list. --scope project shares the server through .mcp.json (don't commit the token), --scope user uses it in every project.

Claude Desktop with a local configuration (shop on your own machine or behind a VPN). Edit claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-shop": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://yourshop.local/module/tellmyshop/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer <daily-token>"]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js. The endpoint still requires HTTPS; use a trusted local certificate (for example mkcert). How the Origin check treats clients that send no Origin header:.

Rules the endpoint applies: HTTPS only; Origin limited to claude.ai and claude.com; IP lockout after 20 failed attempts in 10 minutes; optional IP allowlist for the daily token, mandatory for the service token (default 160.79.104.0/21); 120 calls and 60 writes per hour per connector, set in the module settings. No OAuth in 0.3.0 (Roadmap). Claude team accounts: every member's calls run as the same connector employee.
