Connect Claude & ChatGPT to EKM

Ask your AI which orders are still pending, what a customer bought, or how much stock is left on a product in your EKM shop. It can search orders, products, variants, categories and customers, create and update products and categories, and set stock levels. It can also change an order's status and email the customer about it, with your approval if you want it.

Questions

What can the AI do in EKM?

The AI can list, search and read orders, products, variants, categories, customers and customer addresses, plus your shop's details and order statuses. It can create and update products, categories and customers, set stock on products and variants, change an order's status and delete a product.

Does the AI see my EKM credentials?

No. Your client ID, client secret and sign-in tokens are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Deleting a product is permanent, and changing stock or an order status can email customers or affect what shoppers can buy. These can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

EKM connects with OAuth, and OAuth connections need the PipMCP Pro plan or above. PipMCP also has a free plan with no credit card, but it does not include this connection. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own EKM shop.

Why do I need an EKM Partner account?

EKM gives API access through applications created in its Partner Dashboard. You make a free Partner account, create an application with PipMCP's redirect URI and copy its client ID and secret into PipMCP. When you click Connect, you log in to your own EKM shop and approve the access.
