Zalando Partner (ZDS) + Claude
Zalando's partner APIs for Zalando Direct Ship merchants: orders, order items, shipments, returns, stock and price feeds. OAuth 2.0 client credentials. Partner onboarding required.
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:
ZALANDO_CLIENT_ID, ZALANDO_CLIENT_SECRET, ZALANDO_MERCHANT_ID
Step 1 — Get credentials
Partner onboarding required. Zalando's merchant APIs are not open: you need an active Zalando Partner Programme contract and credentials issued through Zalando zDirect. There is no self-service signup. Zalando runs a sandbox at https://api-sandbox.merchants.zalando.com, but it too is only reachable with zDirect credentials.
Setup
- In the zDirect Portal open Applications, create or pick an app and copy its client id and client secret (under Credentials). Give the app the
orders/readscope.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
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 showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
Zalando Partner (ZDS), and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
