Set up the Chamevo MCP server
Connect Claude and other AI assistants to your Chamevo store with the @chamevo/mcp server β install nothing, configure one JSON block, and manage products, orders, and print-ready files by chat.
The Chamevo MCP server lets AI assistants like Claude work directly with your store. Once connected, you can ask your assistant to list orders, generate print-ready files, create products, update pricing rules, or change settings β without opening the WordPress admin.
The server is published on npm as @chamevo/mcp. It runs locally on your machine, speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over stdio, and talks to your site through the Chamevo REST API. It exposes 70 tools across 15 domains β products, views, categories, orders, print profiles, pricing rules, fonts, settings, and more.
Before you start
- Node.js 18 or newer on the machine running your AI client. No install of the package itself is needed β
npxfetches it on demand. - A live WordPress site with the Chamevo plugin installed and active.
- Your Chamevo API token. Find it in the WordPress admin under Chamevo β Settings β General β API β API Token. The field is read-only β copy the value directly.

Treat the API token like a password. Anyone who has it can read and change products, orders, and settings on your site.
