Run your store from your AI assistant
Two steps. Your assistant does the explaining - you mostly just say yes.
Paste this address into your assistant
claude.ai - Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
ChatGPT - Settings → Connectors → Add connector (developer mode) → paste the URL.
Anything else (Cursor, Gemini CLI, an open-source agent) - add it as an HTTP MCP server. Any client that speaks MCP works.
Approve the popup - that's it
Your assistant opens a Pollen window: sign in to your Pollen account, pick the store, and press Allow access. No keys, no config files - the approval ties the assistant to your store so it manages your catalog and nobody else's. Revoke it anytime from your dashboard. (Works from CLIs too - Claude Code and Gemini CLI open the same window.)
Then it's just conversation:
And shoppers' agents get their own door
Separate from your assistant: onboarding also gives your store its own public, read-only endpoint - pollen.elytron.in/mcp/store/{your-domain} - that shopping agents (like a customer's Claude) query to search and recommend your products. You flip it on from the dashboard; shoppers' agents need no key.
Power users: CLI & config-file setups
Claude Code (Gemini CLI is the same idea with its own mcp add):
Claude Desktop - Settings → Developer → Edit config:
