Browse the Gooten catalog, stock, shipping and price quotes; search orders and cancel items. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gooten": {
"url": "https://gooten.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"gooten": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gooten.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your RecipeID and Partner Billing Key.
Find both in the Gooten Admin under Settings → API (the billing key is behind the Show button). The billing key can place and bill orders for your account, so treat it like a password. Your keys are used only to call the Gooten API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your RecipeID and Partner Billing Key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Gooten connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
gooten_list_products | read | List catalog products Browse the Gooten print-on-demand product catalog (public data): product id, name, categories, cheapest price and shipping, stock and deprecation flags. Filter by name text or category; use product_id with gooten_list_product_variants. Prices are in USD for the cheapest variant. |
gooten_list_product_variants | read | List product variants (SKUs) The orderable variants (SKUs) of a catalog product for a destination country, with option values (size, color, ...) and Gooten's price for your account. SKUs differ by region (inch vs cm sizes). GET /productvariants. |
gooten_get_product_templates | read | Get product templates Print templates for a SKU: how many images are needed, required pixel sizes/DPI, print spaces and layer coordinates, and preview assets. GET /producttemplates. |
gooten_check_stock | read | Check stock for SKUs Which of the given SKUs are out of stock for a destination (country, state, postal code). Returns only the out-of-stock SKUs; an empty list means all are available. Unknown SKUs are an error. POST /variantstatus (a read: nothing is changed). |
gooten_get_shipping_estimate | read | Get shipping estimate for a product Shipping price range and delivery time for a product to a country: whether expedited is possible and estimated shipping days, plus min/max price and producing country when Gooten returns them. GET /shippriceestimate. |
gooten_get_shipping_options | read | Get shipping options for a cart Available shipping methods (Standard, Expedited, Overnight) with price and delivery days for a cart of SKUs to a destination. POST /shippingprices (a quote: nothing is ordered). |
gooten_get_price_estimate | read | Get price estimate for an order Estimate the cost of an order before placing it: per-item partner price, customer price and tax, plus shipping total, for SKUs shipped to an address. POST /price (a quote: nothing is ordered or charged). |
gooten_validate_address | read | Validate a shipping address Check a shipping address: validity, a score and Gooten's suggested corrected address. GET /addressvalidation. |
gooten_list_currencies | read | List supported currencies Currencies Gooten can quote prices in (name, code, display format). GET /currencies. |
gooten_list_shipping_countries | read | List shipping countries Countries Gooten ships to (code, name, whether supported, measurement system, default currency). By default only supported countries. GET /countries. |
gooten_list_print_ready_products | read | List print-ready products Your print-ready products (PRPs: SKUs with artwork already attached) with their variant counts. Paging starts at 1. GET /prpproducts. |
gooten_list_print_ready_variants | read | List print-ready variants Orderable SKUs of your print-ready products, optionally for one PRP product name (from gooten_list_print_ready_products). GET /prpvariants. |
gooten_search_orders | read | Search orders Search your Gooten orders by free text (name, address, phone...), last name, email, postal code, creation date range or your own user id. Returns order id, items with status and tracking, totals and addresses. Needs the Partner Billing Key. GET /ordersearch. |
gooten_get_order | read | Get order One order by its Safe Order ID: items with status, tracking numbers and carriers, images, options, totals, shipping and billing addresses, discount and metadata. GET /orders. |
gooten_get_order_billing | read | Get order billing Billing breakdown of an order: product cost per item, shipping, surcharge, tax, fees, discount and total. Takes the numeric Gooten order id (GootenId from gooten_get_order), not the Safe Order ID. Needs the Partner Billing Key. GET /orderbilling. |
gooten_set_order_status | write | Set order status WRITE: change an order's status. Allowed targets: Cancelled (cancels the whole order), Hold (pause before production) and New (re-submit an order that was fixed, e.g. after an image or address issue; it then goes on to production and billing). Only orders in AccountingIssue, AddressIssue, HoldByCIImageIssue, ImageIssue, NeedsManualApproval, New, ReadyForAccounting, ReadyForImageDl or Pending can change; a held order cannot be released through the API (Gooten support must release it); otherwise Gooten refuses. POST /orderstatus. |
gooten_cancel_order_items | write | Cancel order items WRITE: cancel specific items of an order (cannot be undone). Only items of orders in a pre-production status can be cancelled. Pass the numeric Gooten order id and the order item ids (OrderItemId from gooten_get_order). PUT /orderCancel. |
gooten_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current free-tier usage this month: calls used, monthly limit, remaining, and whether the cap is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
gooten_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Gooten tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
gooten_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited) Subscribe to the Pro plan for UNLIMITED Gooten tool calls (the free tier caps monthly usage). Choose monthly ($9/month) or yearly ($90/year — 2 months free) billing. Returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment your account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
gooten_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Gooten Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; unlimited calls continue until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run gooten_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper account | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited |
Pro covers this Gooten server only. Subscribe with gooten_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with gooten_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running gooten_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Gooten. The server calls the Gooten API with your own Gooten access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your RecipeID and Partner Billing Key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your RecipeID and Partner Billing Key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Gooten API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Gooten.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 17 Gooten tools can create or change data. The other 15 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls, for this Gooten server only. Run gooten_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run gooten_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run gooten_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with gooten_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
