Connect Shopmonkey to Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP client
Shopmonkey, wired to your AI assistant through a hosted MCP connector: verdict first, tools second, guardrails throughout.
Every system here gets an honest, affirmative path: verified and instant, buildable and provisioned, human-assisted, or a done-for-you conversation. Zero dead ends.
Where Shopmonkey stands today
Jobs, dispatch, technicians, and visit schedules: the field questions an office assistant should be able to answer.
Also searched as shop monkey. The vendor's developer documentation lives at shopmonkey.dev.
What a Shopmonkey connector would expose
The proposal you review during intake, separated into Read and Write. Nothing writes without asking you first.
Extracted from the vendor's API docs and human-reviewed before going live. Writes start one notch stricter.

Every write asks first: it pauses on a preview of the exact change and runs only when you approve it, before anything reaches Shopmonkey. Turn off anything you never want your AI to touch.
From "Shopmonkey" to a working connector URL
Designed for operators, not developers. You never read API docs, manage tokens, or touch a line of code.
- 01
Name it
A 30-second eligibility check confirms your AI client accepts a custom connector URL, then you pick the software. This page pre-fills that step.
- 02
Describe what you need
Plain language, not configuration. What should the assistant be able to look up, and what should it be able to change?
- 03
Review your Connector Blueprint
The exact Read and Write tool list, before you pay anything. Every write ships on in confirm mode and asks before it runs, every tool is individually toggled, and anything destructive carries a distinct warning.
- 04
Deploy and paste the URL
You get a hosted connector URL plus paste-in instructions matched to your AI client, and a live test panel that confirms the connection.
Shopmonkey runs as a one-account connector
Shopmonkey supports a single credential, so the connector runs in Solo mode: it acts as one account and says so in plain language at auth time and in the dashboard. megamcp's own activity log still separates who did what by connection token.
Shopmonkey issues a bearer token that megamcp stores encrypted and presents only to Shopmonkey's API. It is destroyed within 24 hours if you cancel.
Write access to Shopmonkey your IT team will approve
Write tools work from the first minute, previewed through a human confirmation before anything lands, and logged with who, what, and when.
Confirm mode
Enabled writes run through Multi Round-Trip Requests: the tool pauses, shows a human-readable preview of the exact change, and only proceeds with approval. Nothing reaches Shopmonkey on the model's intent alone.
Guardrails
Any tool can be turned off. Field-level constraints restrict what can be touched, per-tool rate limits are enforced at the gateway edge, and destructive operations ship in dry-run, demonstrating what they would do until you graduate them.
Activity log
Every tool call is logged: who, what, when, result. Write actions and confirmations are highlighted, redaction controls decide how much argument data is stored, and the log is append-only, with updates and deletes refused by the database.
Connecting Shopmonkey: the specifics
Can my AI assistant write to Shopmonkey?
Yes, with guardrails. Write tools work out of the box in confirm mode: every write asks first, pausing on a preview of the exact change before anything reaches Shopmonkey. Destructive operations ship in dry-run and never execute until you graduate them, and you can turn off any tool you never want touched.
Is it safe to connect Shopmonkey to an AI assistant?
Safety is the architecture, not a setting. Every write asks first: it pauses on a human confirmation with the exact change previewed before it reaches Shopmonkey. Destructive operations demonstrate in dry-run and never execute until you graduate them, any tool can be turned off, and every call lands in an activity log with redaction controls.
If my team uses a Shopmonkey connector, whose name is on the actions?
Shopmonkey supports a single credential, so the connector runs in Solo mode and discloses it plainly: the connector acts as one account, stated at auth time and in the dashboard. megamcp's own activity log still preserves per-connection traceability, because every connection has its own token.
Which AI clients work with a Shopmonkey connector?
Any client that accepts a remote MCP connector URL: Claude (Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise), ChatGPT on paid plans with developer mode enabled, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. Team and Enterprise workspaces may need an admin to allow custom connectors first.
How long until a Shopmonkey connector is live?
Typically 24 to 72 hours. The mapping is generated from the Shopmonkey API documentation and human-reviewed before it goes live.
Anything specific to the Shopmonkey API worth knowing?
Yes. From our index notes on Shopmonkey: Auto repair shop management. Public API with bearer tokens.
