Connecting Claude Desktop

Add-on required. This feature requires the AI Connections add-on to be active on your store. View add-ons

This guide connects Claude Desktop to your Fuze Store account using the fast URL-first flow. You paste one link, approve the permissions in your browser, and Claude can answer questions about your orders, sales, products, and customers.

Before You Start

Claude Desktop is installed on your computer.
You have Owner or Admin access to the store you want to connect.
The AI Connections add-on is active on that store.
Claude Desktop's custom connectors work on Claude's free plan, though Anthropic sets its own limits on how many you can add and may change them over time.

Get Your MCP URL

In the Fuze Store app, open Configurations → MCP → Connect an assistant and copy the MCP Server URL. It looks like:

https://api.fuze-store.com/mcp/store/<your-store-id>

This URL is unique to one store. The store is set by the URL — there is no store picker on the consent screen.

Connect

In Claude Desktop, click your profile, then Settings → Connectors.

Click Add custom connector and paste your MCP Server URL into the Remote MCP server URL field.

Claude opens a browser tab. If you are not signed into Fuze Store, sign in now.

Review the requested permissions and tap Approve. The browser returns to Claude Desktop showing Connected.

No credentials to copy

The URL-first flow needs no Client ID or Client Secret — Claude Desktop registers itself automatically. You only need a pre-minted Client ID and Secret for tools that cannot open a browser; see Setting Up AI Access.

Ask Your First Question

"What were yesterday's sales at my main store?"
"Show me the top 5 products this week."
"Compare this month's revenue to last month."
"Which day of the week has the highest average order value?"

Claude reads only the data you approved and answers in plain language.

If Something Goes Wrong

If the connection fails, see the troubleshooting section of Setting Up AI Access. The most common issues are not being signed into Fuze Store in the browser, the add-on being off, or pasting a URL for the wrong store.
