How to connect to Kaching MCP

Connect Kaching to Claude, ChatGPT, or another compatible AI tool to ask questions about your store’s Kaching data.

Kaching MCP provides read-only access. Your AI assistant can retrieve and analyze information, but it cannot change your store, bundle deals, or subscriptions.

Before you start

You’ll need:

  • A supported Kaching app installed on your Shopify store.

  • Access to that store’s Shopify admin.

  • An AI tool that supports custom MCP connections.

Connect to Claude

1. Add a custom connector

Open Claude’s settings and go to Connectors under Customize.

Click Add → Add custom connector.

2. Enter your connection details

Enter a name such as Kaching MCP - Your Store, then paste your connection URL:

https://mcp.kachingappz.app/mcp?shop=YOUR-STORE.myshopify.com

Replace YOUR-STORE with your own store’s subdomain, then click Continue.

3. Set up authentication

Select:

  • Authentication: Sign in now

  • OAuth client: Use Claude’s published identity

Leave request headers and advanced settings unchanged, then click Add.

4. Connect your account

Click Connect on the Kaching MCP connector page.

If your browser displays Finish connecting a connector?, click Continue connecting.
