How to Connect ManoMano to Claude via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → ManoMano, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key and you're done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

ManoMano + Claude

Sell on ManoMano, the European DIY and garden marketplace, from an AI agent: orders with acceptance, shipment and refunds, offer prices and stock, competitiveness against other sellers, catalog lookups by EAN, ManoFulfillment stock and customer invoices. One install per seller contract.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

MANOMANO_API_KEY, MANOMANO_SELLER_CONTRACT_ID

Step 1 — Get credentials

1. Sign in to the ManoMano Toolbox at https://toolbox.manomano.com with a user that has the Admin role.
2. Open Settings > API keys, click Create API key, give it a name such as AnythingMCP and click Generate API key. Copy the key right away: ManoMano shows it only once. Paste it into MANOMANO_API_KEY.
3. Enter your seller contract id in MANOMANO_SELLER_CONTRACT_ID. It is a number shown in the Toolbox, for example 110841.
4. Install the connector and start with manomano_list_orders.

One install per contract: ManoMano creates one seller contract per platform (manomano.fr, .es, .it, .de and .co.uk) and delivery mode, so a seller on several platforms has several contracts. Install the connector once per contract and name each install after it, for example ManoMano FR. The contract id is added to every call, and the key is sent only to ManoMano.

Order workflow: a new order is PENDING. Accepting it moves it to PREPARATION; refusing it refunds the customer (REFUNDING, then REFUSED). Shipping records the carrier, the tracking number and URL and the products in the parcel, once per parcel, and the order becomes SHIPPED. A refund covers some or all products (REFUNDING, then REFUNDED). For the daily to-do list, the AI lists the orders in PENDING and in PREPARATION, and it reads an order before shipping or refunding it, because both need each product's seller_sku and quantity.

Confirm first: accepting, refusing, shipping and refunding orders, changing, unfreezing and replacing offers, and uploading invoices act on the live marketplace. Before each of these the AI shows you what will change (the order, the products and quantities, the tracking number, the SKUs with old and new price or stock, the document) and waits for your yes. Refusals and refunds cannot be undone.

Prices and stock: manomano_update_offers changes the price, the stock or both of existing SKUs. By default the new values are frozen, so later product feed imports no longer overwrite them, until manomano_unfreeze_offers hands them back to the feed. ManoMano applies the update in the background: the AI checks it with manomano_list_offers and the returned request_id (IN PROGRESS, ERROR with the errors, or COMPLETED). manomano_upsert_offers, which creates offers or replaces them completely, is switched off at install.

Competition, catalog and fulfillment: compare chosen SKUs with the best offer on the product, or list every offer whose competitive situation changed in a date range. Look up up to 200 EANs at once to see whether a product is already in the ManoMano catalog and whether you can publish an offer on it. ManoFulfillment warehouse stock is only available on a ManoFulfillment contract.

Customer invoices: the AI lists the invoices customers are waiting for, oldest first. You have 3 working days after shipment to provide one. The AI uploads the PDF from a URL; each upload is added next to earlier documents, and the customer is notified.

Limits: about 250 order requests and 200 offer requests an hour per API key; beyond that ManoMano answers 429. Orders come in pages of at most 50. The connector works on the live API, not on ManoMano's sandbox.

Common errors: 401 means ManoMano refused the key: check it, or create a new one in the Toolbox (a deleted key stops working at once). 403: the key works but may not act on this contract; check that the contract id belongs to the seller account that created the key. 400: check that the contract id is your numeric seller contract id. 429: too many requests; wait before trying again.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Recommended path: works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
3. Enter a name, e.g. ManoMano, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
