MCP Overview
The Endless MCP server lets an AI assistant read your live Endless data. Your AI tools answer from your actual operational records instead of from whatever you paste into the conversation.
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside systems. Any assistant that supports it can connect to Endless: Claude on web, desktop, or mobile, Claude Code, or another MCP client.
Setup takes about two minutes and there is nothing to install. See Connecting Your AI Tools.
What You Can Ask
You ask in your own words, the way you would ask a colleague. Your AI tools read the question, pick the matching Endless tool, and come back with your live records.
- “Which orders are on hold right now, and why?”
- “Why hasn’t order 1042 gone out?”
- “Find the order with tracking number 1Z999AA10123456784.”
- “What’s available to sell in SKU ABC-100 versus what’s already allocated?”
- “How did demand last month compare to the month before, and did we ship it?”
- “Who changed the price on this product?”
What It Can Answer
Twenty-nine tools answer those questions, in five groups. You never name a tool yourself, but the names are worth knowing, because they are what you will see in your client’s tool permission list.
| Group | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Orders | Find an order, read it in full, and see its items, fulfillments, shipments, and history. |
| Products | Find a product, and read its pricing, cost, stock, suppliers, and bundle contents. |
| Analytics | Demand, shipping, inventory position, and the coverage between ordered and shipped. |
| Supply Chain | Suppliers, purchase orders, inbound shipments and their costs, and the warehouses they arrive at. |
| History | What happened to a product, integration, inventory record, supplier, purchase order, inbound shipment, brand, or fulfillment. |
Start at What Your AI Tools Can Do for the full list, what each tool answers, and how to follow up on an answer.
Two tools are not in those groups. list_companies lists the companies you can work in. Every other tool except list_documentation_pages takes a company as an argument, so your AI tools call list_companies first and ask which company you mean when more than one comes back. list_documentation_pages lists the Endless help pages, so your AI tools can answer how something works in Endless.
The Connection Acts as You
The MCP server does not require a separate account. You sign in with your normal Endless credentials, and every call your AI tools make runs against your own permissions.
That has three consequences worth knowing before you connect:
- Your access does not widen. You see only the companies, orders, and products your Endless account can already see.
- Each person connects separately. Sharing one login so a team can share a connector is not supported, and it would hide who asked for what.
- Access follows your account. If your Endless permissions change or your account is deactivated, the connection reflects that immediately.
Read-Only to Start, Read-Write When You’re Ready
Nothing your AI tools do through this connector will edit the data your business stores in Endless. We are providing a system of record and context to brands first, and work with brands individually to determine what data they are comfortable having manipulated by AI. If you’d like to enable read-write for your brand’s account, contact our support team and we’ll scope out a connection that follows the governance protocols your business wants to keep in place for AI-assisted work.
What You Need
- An Endless Commerce account.
- An AI client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP: Claude on web, desktop, or mobile, Claude Code, or any other MCP client with OAuth support.
There is nothing to install and no API key to request.
