Connect an AI assistant to Flashpricer (MCP)
Bring your catalog, competition and sales into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Cursor — and let them act on your account. Connect in about two minutes, no API keys required.
Bring your catalog, competition and sales into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or Cursor — and let them act on your account, right from the chat you already use. Set it up in about two minutes, no API keys required.
This is powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard supported by every major AI assistant. Ask a question in plain language and the assistant answers straight from your live Flashpricer data. Grant it a bit more access and it can act on your account too.
What you get
Scoped to you. Every connection is limited to your organization and to the permissions you approve. An assistant never sees data from any other account.
Before you begin
- An active Flashpricer account.
- An MCP-capable assistant. Custom connectors usually need a paid ChatGPT or Claude plan; CLI and editor tools (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor) work too.
- Two minutes. You authorize with your normal Flashpricer login — nothing to install or paste into a secrets file.
Connect in three steps
In Flashpricer, go to Reports → MCP Integration and click Connect an assistant. This is also where you'll manage every connection later on.
Pick your assistant from the list — Flashpricer shows the exact steps for it. They all point to the same secure endpoint:
https://mcp.v2.flashpricer.com/mcpYour assistant opens the Flashpricer authorization screen. Review the permissions it's requesting, then click Authorize. Behind the scenes this uses OAuth 2.0 — you sign in (or confirm you're already signed in) and approve access.
You're connected. The assistant now appears under Active Connections and can start working with your data. Your password is never shared — access is a secure token you can revoke anytime.
See it in action
Once connected, just ask — the assistant pulls the answer live from Flashpricer:
| Product | SKU | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wireless Earbuds Pro | WEB-2231 | $24.99 | At min |
| Stainless Water Bottle | SWB-0198 | $11.50 | At min |
| LED Desk Lamp | LDL-7742 | $18.00 | At min |
What each permission grants
On the authorization screen, permissions come in view (read-only) and manage (make changes) pairs. Approve only what you need:
Safe defaults. A new connection gets view access to products and orders only. Anything that can change your data is clearly labeled — review it before you approve.
Manage your connections
Everything you've connected lives under Reports → MCP Integration → Active Connections:
- Review at a glance — each connection's name, permissions, last used, connected and expiry dates.
- Rename — the pencil icon lets you tell multiple assistants apart.
- Revoke — the trash icon instantly cuts off an assistant's access. It takes effect immediately; to reconnect, just run through Connect an assistant again.
Keeping it secure
- Org-scoped by design — a connection can only ever reach your own organization's data.
- No shared secrets — there's no API key to leak, and revoking access is a single click.
- Least privilege — read-only is enough for questions and reporting. Grant manage only if you truly want the assistant to change prices, strategies or reports.
- Time-limited — access expires automatically; the date shows on each connection's row, and you simply re-authorize when it lapses.
Assistant-specific setup
Most assistants only need the server address — https://mcp.v2.flashpricer.com/mcp — and will prompt you to authorize on first use.
