Setup guide
Connect Claude to your WooCommerce store
Give Claude access to your WooCommerce store with MCPify: you decide per store area what Claude may read, change or delete, and every request is logged.
1. Connect your store and create a connection
- Install the free MCPify plugin (WordPress.org listing coming soon; until then, ask Support@MCPify.app for the plugin file) and activate it.
- Open WooCommerce › MCPify in your WordPress admin, click Connect to MCPify and approve the WooCommerce API key for MCPify. Choose read only if the AI should never change anything.
- Click Open MCPify. In the dashboard, create a connection (e.g. "Claude") and start from a preset: Catalog editor can edit products and content but cannot delete anything; Read only changes nothing. You can also create the connection later, while signing in.
2. Add MCPify to Claude
Claude (web, desktop and mobile)
- In Claude, open Settings › Connectors, click Add and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it MCPify, paste the server URL https://woo.getmcpify.app/mcp and click Continue.
- Click Connect next to MCPify. If Claude asks about client registration, choose to register automatically.
- On MCPify's sign-in page, choose Continue in WordPress admin and enter your store address, or enter a pairing code from the MCPify dashboard. Pick the connection whose permissions Claude gets. The connector is now available in every chat.
Claude Code
- Add the server in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http mcpify https://woo.getmcpify.app/mcp- Then run /mcp in Claude Code, choose mcpify and sign in: choose Continue in WordPress admin and enter your store address, or enter a pairing code from the MCPify dashboard.
No client ID, secret or WooCommerce API key needs to be copied: Claude registers itself, and you sign in through your WordPress admin. Clients that cannot sign in can use an MCPify API key instead; the connection page in the dashboard shows the exact setup.
3. Try it
Ask Claude something like:
- “Which products in my store are out of stock or on backorder?”
- “Run the catalog audit skill and summarise the top 5 issues.”
- “Write a better description for <product> and show it to me before saving.”
Claude asks before it changes anything. Requests the connection does not allow are blocked, and every request, allowed or blocked, appears in MCPify's audit log.
Questions
Can Claude see my customers' data?
Not by default. Orders and customers are off in the presets, and while the customer data limit is off, names, emails, phone numbers and addresses are removed from every response.
I changed a permission. What now?
It applies to the next request. Start a new chat so Claude sees newly allowed tools.
How do I stop access?
Revoke the connection in the MCPify dashboard. Disconnecting the store in WooCommerce › MCPify, or deactivating the plugin, cuts off every AI client immediately and deletes MCPify's API key.
