This guide explains how to connect your AI tool to your Chariow store using the Model Context Protocol.

​
MCP endpoint

All AI tools connect to the same endpoint: 
https://mcp.chariow.com/public
This endpoint supports both Streamable HTTP and SSE (Server-Sent Events).

​
Claude

Claude supports MCP through custom connectors on both Claude Desktop and Claude.ai (Pro/Max plans).
1

Open Settings

In Claude Desktop or Claude.ai, go to Settings → Connectors.
2

Add custom connector

Click Add custom connector and enter:
  • URL: https://mcp.chariow.com/public
3

Authenticate

Click Add. You’ll be redirected to Chariow to authorise access to your store.
4

Start using

Open a new conversation and ask Claude about your store. For example: “Show me my recent sales”.
Custom connectors require Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. See Claude’s MCP documentation for details.

​

2

Add server

Click Add new MCP server and select SSE as the type. Or create a configuration file at .cursor/mcp.json:

      "url": "https://mcp.chariow.com/public"
    }
  }
}

Go to Settings → Extensions → MCP.
2

Add server

Add a new MCP server with:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chariow": {
      "url": "https://mcp.chariow.com/public"
    }
  }
}

claude mcp add chariow --url https://mcp.chariow.com/public
You’ll be prompted to authenticate via OAuth on first use.

​
Verify connection

After setup, verify your connection is working:
  1. Start a new conversation with your AI tool
  2. Ask: “Show me my Chariow store information”
  3. The AI should display your store name, URL, and settings
Try these example prompts:
  • “List my recent sales”
  • “How many customers do I have?”
  • “What are my best-selling products?”

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify the URL is correct: https://mcp.chariow.com/public
  • Restart your AI tool completely
  • Try removing and re-adding the connector
  • Ensure you’re logged into your Chariow account
  • Check that your store is active
  • Clear browser cookies and try again
  • Restart your AI tool
  • For file-based config, verify JSON syntax is valid
  • In ChatGPT, click Refresh in Connectors settings
The MCP server allows 60 requests per minute. Wait a moment before continuing.

​
Revoke access

To disconnect an AI tool from your store:
  1. Go to your Chariow Dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → API Keys
  3. Find the MCP connection and click Revoke
