AI Assistant Access

Ask your assistant,
not your spreadsheet.

MarketplaceHub speaks the Model Context Protocol, so Claude or ChatGPT can read your account directly. Ask how many units of a SKU are left, which connection is failing, or whether last night's price push finished — and get the answer from your own data.

  • One address — no API key to mint, copy or paste
  • Eleven tools: nine read, two write
  • You approve what it may do, on a consent screen
  • Every call lands in your own request log

Sign in and approve — there is no secret to paste

Nine tools that read. Two that write.

It is the same data the REST API serves, through the same permissions and the same request allowance. Nothing new is exposed to an assistant that isn't already yours.

Ask about your catalogue

Products and their listings, one SKU at a time or paged through the lot — plus marketplace categories, the attributes each one requires and the values it accepts.

Ask what's broken

Which marketplaces are connected and the health of each — including the one that needs reconnecting — and whether a background import, publish or sync actually finished.

Let it set price and stock

Name the SKUs and the new figures and the change is pushed out to your connected marketplaces — only if you granted the write permission for inventory.

Let it confirm a shipment

Carrier, service and tracking number against the order items you name — the same confirmation the Orders queue sends, from a conversation.

What it deliberately cannot do

An assistant is new, and the first things you hand one should not be the expensive ones.

Publish a new listing

Publishing writes to a marketplace against a schema that has to be exactly right. That is a poor first thing to hand an assistant, so it is not offered at all.

Refund a buyer

Money moves, and it does not move back on its own. Refunds stay with a person, in the Orders queue or through your own code on the API.

See buyers by accident

A buyer's name and address are left out of every order answer unless the assistant asks for them on purpose. Most questions about an order do not need them.

You stay in charge of it

Approving is what creates the access. Nothing happens before you do, and nothing is hidden afterwards.

A consent screen, per assistant

After you sign in you are shown exactly what was asked for. An assistant can never be granted more than your account offers, and connecting one connects nothing else.

Every call is logged

An assistant's calls appear in your request log next to your REST traffic, so you can read back what it looked at and when. It draws on the same allowance, not a second one.

Disconnect in one click

Every assistant you approved is listed in your account with what it may do and who approved it. The list belongs to the account, so a colleague can disconnect one too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which assistants, what they can reach, and how to stop one.

Still wondering?

Our team replies within a few hours, Mon–Fri.

01 Which assistants can connect?
Any client that supports a remote MCP server with OAuth — Claude and ChatGPT both do. You add https://api.marketplacehub.com/mcp as a custom connector, the assistant registers itself, and you finish on a normal MarketplaceHub sign-in page. Older command-line tools may not support remote servers yet.
02 Do I have to create an API key for this?
No — and that's the main difference from the REST API. There is no secret to copy and nothing to paste back. You sign in, approve what the assistant asked for, and that approval is the access. If you'd rather write code against the API instead, that's the Developers route.
03 Can it change my prices or ship my orders?
Only if you approved the matching write permission. Two of the eleven tools write: one sets price and stock for SKUs you name, one confirms shipment with carrier and tracking. An assistant approved for reading is never even offered them, and the consent screen names them before you agree.
04 What if the assistant retries and does something twice?
It can't. Both write tools are keyed, so a repeat of the same call returns the first answer instead of doing the work again — a lost reply cannot confirm one shipment twice or apply the same price change twice. Nothing is needed at your end; it's on by default.
05 What is "Stay connected" on the consent screen?
It is not a permission over your data. It lets the assistant keep working without sending you back to a sign-in page every hour. It reads nothing extra, and disconnecting the assistant ends it along with everything else.
06 How do I stop an assistant?
Open API → Assistants in your account and press Disconnect. It then has to ask for your approval again before it can read anything. A token it already holds keeps working until it expires, up to an hour, so contact support as well if you think one has leaked.
