Connecting Mergado MCP to Claude#
You can connect Claude to Mergado using a custom connector. Claude then gets access to the Mergado MCP tools and can help you analyze product data or manage your projects.
The connection process is the same in the desktop and web versions of Claude. The screenshots in this guide come from the desktop app.

Then enter, for example:
Using Mergado MCP, list the online stores I have access to.
If Claude asks for permission to use a tool, review the request and confirm it.
If Claude loads data from your account, the connection works and you can start giving it more tasks.
