Ask Claude what to reorder — Shopify inventory MCP

Connect Replenish to Claude and ask your inventory questions in plain English. The answers come from Replenish’s deterministic forecasting math — not an LLM guess — so you can trust the numbers and see exactly why.

What it does

Three inventory tools, inside Claude

Replenish runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude direct, read-only access to your reorder intelligence.

get_reorder_recommendations

What to reorder

Ask “what should I reorder?” and Claude lists the SKUs that need a purchase order, with quantity and timing — ranked by urgency.

explain_reorder

Why — for any SKU

Ask “why are you recommending I reorder SKU-1234?” and get the full reasoning: velocity, lead time, safety stock, and days of cover.

get_alerts

What’s at risk

Ask “what’s about to stock out?” and Claude surfaces your active stockout-risk and dead-stock alerts in one place.

“What should I reorder this week, and why?”
Claude: You have 3 SKUs that need a purchase order. The most urgent is Dark Roast Beans (BEANS-1KG) — selling 6.4/day, your supplier takes 14 days, and you have 9 days of stock left, so order by Friday. Recommended quantity: 180 units…

— the figures come from Replenish’s math; Claude just reads and explains them.
Setup

Connect it in about 5 minutes

For Claude Desktop. You’ll need the Pro plan and Node.js (for the npx bridge).

Create a Replenish API key

In Replenish, open API Access and create a key (it starts with rpl_live_). Copy it now — it’s shown only once.

Fully quit Claude Desktop

Press ⌘Q. Claude Desktop rewrites its config file on launch, so edits must be made while it is completely closed.

Add Replenish to the config

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add the replenish block below inside mcpServers, pasting your key.

Reopen Claude and ask

First launch downloads the bridge (~15 seconds), then ask “What should I reorder?” and approve the permission prompt.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "replenish": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://www.tryreplenish.store/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer rpl_live_<your-key>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

The exact config — pre-filled with your endpoint — is also shown inside the app under API Access → Use with Claude. Copy it from there to avoid typos.

Why the npx / mcp-remote wrapper? Claude Desktop’s config only accepts local (stdio) servers, so mcp-remote bridges to our hosted endpoint. On claude.ai or other clients that support remote MCP servers natively, point them at https://www.tryreplenish.store/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header instead.

Why it’s different

Numbers you can trust, not an AI guess

General Shopify AI tools can read your products, orders, and customers — but they don’t tell you what to reorder, how much, or when. That’s the gap Replenish fills. And critically: the recommendations are computed by deterministic forecasting math (velocity × lead time + safety stock − stock on hand and incoming), so they’re reproducible and explainable. Claude reads and narrates them — it doesn’t invent them. You get the convenience of asking in plain English with the reliability of a formula behind every answer.

FAQ

Common questions

Can Claude tell me what to reorder for my Shopify store?
Yes, once you connect Replenish to Claude. Replenish runs an MCP server that adds three tools to Claude — reorder recommendations, a single-SKU explanation, and active alerts. You can then ask in plain English, like “What should I reorder?”, and Claude answers using your live Shopify data.
Is the reorder forecast generated by the AI?
No. The numbers come from Replenish’s deterministic forecasting math — sales velocity, supplier lead time, safety stock, current and incoming stock — not from the language model. Claude only relays and explains the figures Replenish computes, so each recommendation is reproducible and you can see exactly how it was derived.
Does this work with Claude Desktop and claude.ai?
Yes. Claude Desktop connects via the mcp-remote bridge (its config accepts local stdio servers). Clients that support remote MCP servers natively can point directly at https://www.tryreplenish.store/mcp with an Authorization: Bearer header using your Replenish API key.
What does it cost?
The Claude integration is part of the Replenish Pro plan — the same tier that includes API access. Replenish starts at $10/mo, with a 14-day free trial so you can try the Claude connection at no cost.
Is my store data safe?
The connection uses a Replenish API key you create and can revoke at any time, sent as a bearer token. The Claude tools are read-only — they surface recommendations and alerts; they never change your inventory or place orders.
