Connect Zetap to Claude in 5 Minutes — MCP Setup Guide
Connect Zetap to Claude in 5 Minutes
A step-by-step guide to running your storefront, orders and DMs straight from a Claude chat.
What you get
Once Zetap is connected, you stop clicking through dashboards. You just ask:
- "How much did I make this week?"
- "Who's waiting for a reply right now?"
- "Create a new product: 30-day meal plan, $19."
- "Set up a funnel: anyone who comments GUIDE gets the PDF in DM — but only if they follow me."
Claude reads your live data and performs the actions. No copy-paste, no tab-switching.
What MCP is (30 seconds)
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to real tools and data. Zetap runs a remote MCP server — a single URL that exposes your storefront, orders, contacts, conversations and automation funnels as tools Claude can call. You connect once; it stays connected across every chat.
Before you start
- A Zetap account (the one that owns your storefront).
- A Claude account. Custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans — Free is limited to one custom connector.
- Two minutes.
Step 1 — The URL
https://mcp.zetap.shop/mcp
That's the whole "installation". Nothing to download, nothing to run locally.
Step 2 — Add it as a custom connector
In Claude (web, desktop or mobile):
- Go to Settings → Connectors.
- Click + → Add custom connector.
- Name it
Zetap, paste the URL above. - Click Add, then Connect.
- A Zetap login window opens — sign in and approve access. Done.
On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner has to add the connector at the organization level first (Organization settings → Connectors), after which each member connects individually.
Step 3 — Turn it on in the chat
Open a new conversation, click the + (tools) button, and make sure Zetap is toggled on. Connectors are enabled per conversation.
Step 4 — Verify
Type: "List my Zetap sites."
If Claude comes back with your storefront name, you're live.
Using Claude Code instead?
One command:
claude mcp add --transport http zetap https://mcp.zetap.shop/mcp
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate.
What to ask once you're connected
Money
- "Sales summary for the last 30 days."
- "Show me the last 10 orders."
- "Are payments connected? If not, give me the Stripe link."
- "Client X paid but never got the file — resend it."
Customers
- "Find the contact who wrote me about the vegan plan."
- "Which conversations are waiting for a human reply?"
- "Reply to her: yes, the recipe is dairy-free."
Storefront
- "Create a product: Sourdough Starter Kit, $12, with this description…"
- "Raise the price of the meal plan to $29 and hide the old bundle."
- "Update my bio to…"
Automation
- "Build a funnel: comment word GUIDE → check if they follow me → if yes, DM the PDF link; if not, ask them to follow and tap the button."
- "Who's stuck inside my funnels right now?"
- "Pause the welcome series."
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Connector shows "Disconnected" | Click Connect again — the OAuth token expired. |
| Claude says you have no storefront | Create a site first: "Create a new Zetap storefront called …" |
| Tools don't appear in a chat | Enable Zetap in the + menu of that specific conversation. |
| Actions look like they need approval | They do — Zetap shows a confirmation card before anything is written. That's on purpose. |
Security, briefly
Claude connects to the Zetap MCP server from Anthropic's cloud, not from your laptop. Every write action — creating products, changing prices, sending replies — requires your explicit confirmation. You can disconnect at any time from Settings → Connectors.
Pro tip
Give Claude the goal, not the clicks. Instead of "create a product", try: "I want to launch a $19 meal plan this week — create the product, then build a comment-to-DM funnel for the word PLAN with a follow check." It will chain the tools for you.
