Getting started
About five minutes. You need a WooCommerce shop that uses https, and a Claude account.
1. Add Gridly to Claude
- Open claude.ai/customize/connectors (in Claude: Customize → Connectors).
- Click Add, then Add custom connector.
- Name:
Gridly. Address:https://mcp.gridlypaper.com/mcp. Click Continue. - Leave the detected settings as they are and click Add, then Connect.
- A Gridly page opens. Enter your email and click Email me a link. Open the link in your email and click Approve.
You'll see “Connected to Gridly” and a list of what Gridly can do. ChatGPT: support is being added; this page will say when it is ready.
2. Connect your shop
- Open https://app.gridlypaper.com/stores.
- Type your shop's address (for example
https://myshop.com) and click Connect my store. - WordPress asks you to approve access. Click Approve. You come back to Gridly.
- Click Test connection to check that it works.
If one-click connect doesn't work: in WordPress go to WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API → Add key, give it Read/Write permission, and paste the two keys into the “paste keys manually” form on the same Gridly page.
3. Ask your first question
- Start a new chat in Claude.
- Click the + button, open Connectors, and make sure Gridly is switched on.
- Try a recipe, for example:
How did my shop do last week compared to the week before?
The first time Claude uses a Gridly tool it asks for permission. That's normal — see Approvals and permissions.
