Linnworks MCP connector

The Linnworks connector brings stock levels, product performance, listing templates and customer email templates to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can ask about inventory and prepare listings inside their own Linnworks access.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule starts the low stock digest itself.

Stock levels are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, then posted back to Linnworks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Linnworks to Claude?

Connect Linnworks in Elaichi first: paste your Linnworks API key when prompted, and the connection is ready. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi and Linnworks appears with everything else you have connected.

Does Linnworks work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Linnworks is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Linnworks once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Linnworks data?

It can tell you which products are below their low stock level, what stock sits in each location, which products are selling best and how performance looks over a period. It can also find email templates and send a customer email, and open, fill in and process listing templates and channel configurators. Linnworks has a lot of capabilities, so short, concrete asks such as "low stock in the Leeds warehouse" get better results than long paragraphs.

Does connecting Linnworks give the AI access to everything in my account?

No. Every request runs as the person who signed in, using their own Linnworks permissions, so the AI sees the locations, listings and templates that person can already see. Elaichi can narrow that access further with roles and restrictions, and it can never widen it beyond what Linnworks itself allows.

Can my team share one Linnworks connection?

Yes. One person connects Linnworks in Elaichi with the API key and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the actual person behind every stock check or email sent.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Linnworks?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow reading stock levels and top products while blocking anything that saves a template, changes a configurator or sends an email. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to a Linnworks connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to Linnworks through every client at once. If they connected a shared Linnworks account, the connection keeps working for everyone else it was shared with. When you want Linnworks gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.

Does the Linnworks MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Linnworks is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
