# Subbly's MCP server

<Callout type="info" title="Subbly X only">
The MCP server is currently only available to [Subbly X](https://www.subbly.co/x)
merchants. It may open up to more plans later, but there is no ETA. To ask
about access, contact [Subbly support](https://support.subbly.co).
</Callout>

The Subbly's MCP server is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)
server. It exposes the Private API as tools, so an AI agent such as Claude
Code, Cursor or VS Code can list your products, ship orders, create coupons
and more, in plain language. Each tool wraps one Private API call and shares
its fields and its responses.

The server runs at `https://mcp.subbly.dev/mcp`. It speaks the streamable
HTTP transport and holds no state between requests. Your Private API key
travels with every request in the `X-API-KEY` header; the server never stores
it, and each key gets its own rate limit.

## In this section

- [Connect a client](/developer-resources/subbly-mcp/connect-a-client) — add
  the server to Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code, then try it in the MCP
  Inspector.
- [Tools](/developer-resources/subbly-mcp/tools) — the full list of tools,
  grouped by the part of the shop they work on.

## Reference

The tools call the [Private API](/api/private). Its reference explains every
field a tool takes and returns.
