Seal Subscriptions + ChatGPT
Run Shopify subscriptions in Seal Subscriptions from your AI: find subscribers, read upcoming and failed charges, skip or reschedule a delivery, pause or resume, change items, address and discounts, and manage subscription rules and webhooks.
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:
SEAL_SUBSCRIPTIONS_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setting up takes about 2 minutes and needs a Shopify shop with the Seal Subscriptions app and access to its settings.
- In Shopify admin, open Apps → Seal Subscriptions → Settings → General Settings → API.
- Copy the API token, not the API secret (which only signs webhooks), into
SEAL_SUBSCRIPTIONS_API_TOKENand install the connector. The token is sent only to Seal. - The token belongs to one shop: install the connector once per shop.
What it covers: subscriptions found by the customer's e-mail or name, or by status (active, paused, cancelled); everything that renews in a time window; one subscription with its customer, shipping address, delivery and billing intervals, items, discounts and charges (scheduled, completed, or failed with the error message); the subscription rules (the plans offered on product pages); and webhooks.
What the AI can change: pause, resume or reactivate a subscription; change its intervals, delivery method and shipping address; add products, also as a one-off for the next renewal; swap a variant or change quantity and price; apply a discount code; skip, unskip or reschedule an upcoming charge; e-mail the customer Seal's link to update the payment method; and register a webhook.
Confirm first: every write acts on a real customer's subscription, and skips, pauses and charges are seen by the customer. The AI says which subscription (customer and id) and what will change, and waits for your yes.
Switched off at install: seal_subscriptions_cancel_subscription, seal_subscriptions_schedule_cancellation, seal_subscriptions_remove_items, seal_subscriptions_remove_discount_code, seal_subscriptions_delete_webhook, the two tools that take money right away (seal_subscriptions_charge_now and seal_subscriptions_process_billing_attempt), and seal_subscriptions_get_customer_magic_link, whose link lets anyone who holds it change that customer's subscriptions. Turn on only the ones your team needs, one by one.
Privacy: subscriptions carry names, e-mail, phone, addresses and the last card digits. The AI shows only what the question needs, and the customer's secret edit link is removed from the answers.
Common errors: 403 Access forbidden.: the token is wrong, revoked or from another shop; copy it again from Seal's API settings. 503: Seal allows 10 requests at a time per token; wait for the running calls to finish and try again. 404 or success: false: the id does not exist, or the action is not allowed in the subscription's state, for example skipping a charge that was already processed.
The connector does not create or delete subscriptions or single charges, edit subscription rules, handle fulfillment orders of prepaid subscriptions or create quick checkout links.
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 ChatGPT
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 showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT adds MCP servers as plugins on its Plugins page, on the web and on paid plans. Developer mode is no longer needed. In a Business workspace only admins and owners can add one; in Enterprise and Edu an admin can grant the Create plugins with MCPs permission.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
- Enter a name, e.g. Name:
Seal Subscriptions. - Under Connection, enter the Server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand keep Authentication on OAuth. - Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
- Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.
