Gelato API & Shopify Automation MCP Server

Model Context Protocol License: MIT Node.js

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating with the Gelato Print-on-Demand API. This server enables AI agents (such as Antigravity, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to automate product creation from custom design URLs/files, inspect product templates, manage Shopify store connections, explore catalog specifications, and process print fulfillment orders.

✨ Key Features

  • 🎨 Template-Based Product Creation: Programmatically upload design files (PNG, JPG, PDF) to Gelato product template placeholders (ImageFront, ImageBack, etc.) and publish custom print-on-demand items directly to your connected e-commerce stores (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc.).
  • 🏪 Multi-Store Management: Inspect connected stores (gelato_list_stores), view store products (gelato_list_products), inspect product status (gelato_get_product), and delete products (gelato_delete_product).
  • 📐 Template Inspection: List templates (gelato_list_templates) and inspect layer structures and variant IDs (gelato_get_template).
  • 📚 Catalog Exploration: Search Gelato's global product catalog (gelato_search_catalog_products), list categories (gelato_list_catalogs), and fetch product specifications (gelato_get_catalog_product).
  • 📦 Order Fulfillment & Quotes: Request shipping/print price quotes (gelato_quote_order), place print orders (gelato_create_order), track order status (gelato_get_order), and search orders (gelato_search_orders).
