Hologrow
officialThe e-commerce data layer for any AI
What can you do with Hologrow MCP?
- Discover connected platforms — Ask your assistant to call
list_platformsto see which data sources are connected and their schema names. - Explore queryable tables — Use
list_tablesto see available tables for a platform like Amazon SP Seller or Google Ads. - Inspect table schemas — Call
get_data_dictionarywith exact table names to get columns, types, keys, and field descriptions before writing SQL. - Check data freshness — Use
get_freshnessto verify sync coverage and last successful refresh before trusting any numbers. - Run read-only SQL queries — Ask for a
query_dbSELECT statement againstschema_name.tableto analyze commerce data without writing back. - Install analysis skills — Add workflows like
amazon-ppc-campaignorgoogle-ads-auditvianpx skills@latestfor guided, read-only analysis.
Documentation
Hologrow MCP
The commerce data layer for AI. Connect Amazon, Google Ads, GA4, and other selling systems once. Hologrow keeps the data synced, then MCP lets Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, and other agents query it — without CSV exports or one-off API scripts.
Hosted at mcp.hologrow.ai. Console at connector.hologrow.ai. Docs at docs.hologrow.ai.
Why Hologrow?
- Built for the tools you already use: Connect once, then ask questions in Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, Doubao, or Hermes
- LLM-ready commerce data: Stable tables for Amazon SP, Amazon Ads, Google Ads, GA4, Search Console, Shoplazza, and Lingxing ERP
- We handle the hard stuff: Platform OAuth, sync, freshness, and schema — agents only read
- Read-only by default: MCP never writes back to ad accounts or storefronts
- Agent ready: Five discovery tools plus analysis skills you can install with one command

Quick Start
- Create a workspace at connector.hologrow.ai.
- Connect at least one data source and wait for the first sync.
- Add Hologrow MCP to your agent. OAuth clients authorize in the UI. Cursor / Claude Code / Hermes use an API key from AI Platforms → Advanced settings.
Creating an API key is not enough. Installation succeeds when the agent can call list_platforms.
MCP
Connect any MCP-compatible client. Transport is Streamable HTTP.

Cursor / Claude Code / Hermes (API key)
Copy an API key from the console, then send this prompt to a new Agent conversation. Replace {apiKey}. Do not ask the agent to echo the key.
Install the Hologrow MCP server and test the connection.
Connection details:
- Name: Hologrow
- URL: https://mcp.hologrow.ai/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authentication: API Key
- Header: Authorization: Bearer {apiKey}
Requirements:
1. Add Hologrow using this client's native MCP configuration. Use API Key authentication only; do not use OAuth.
2. Make only the changes required for installation. Keep the API key secret and do not repeat, log, or include it in your response.
3. After installation, call Hologrow's list_platforms tool once. Do not call any other tools.
4. If successful, list the connected data platforms exactly as returned. If installation, authentication, connection, or the tool call fails, stop and explain the error.
Verify
Start a new conversation and send:
Use Hologrow’s list_platforms tool to list my connected data platforms. Do not call any other tools.
Output:
{
"items": [
{
"platform": "amazon_sp_seller",
"connected": true,
"table_count": 30,
"schemas": [
{
"schema_name": "amazon_sp_seller_xxxxxxxx",
"display_name": "US Seller",
"connection_status": "healthy"
}
]
},
{
"platform": "google_ads",
"connected": false,
"table_count": 15,
"schemas": []
}
]
}
An empty list still means MCP is installed — the workspace just has no connected source yet.

Tools
Always discover names from the tools. Never invent platform, schema, table, or column names. Middleware field names often differ from Amazon / Google UI labels.
list_platforms → list_tables → get_data_dictionary → get_freshness → query_db
If a tool fails or is cancelled, say so. Never infer zero, no data, or a metric from a missing result.
list_platforms
Call this first. Returns platform names, connected, and schemas[].schema_name.
list_platforms()
list_tables
List queryable tables for one platform from list_platforms.
list_tables({ "platform": "amazon_sp_seller" })
Output:
{
"tables": ["order_items", "sales_and_traffic_daily", "fba_inventory_summaries"]
}
get_data_dictionary
Get columns, types, keys, and descriptions. Pass 1–10 exact table names from list_tables.
get_data_dictionary({
"platform": "amazon_sp_seller",
"table_names": ["orders", "order_items"]
})
get_freshness
Check sync coverage before treating a number as current. schema_name comes from list_platforms. Optional scope filters by resource identity.
get_freshness({
"schema_name": "amazon_sp_seller_xxxxxxxx",
"table_names": ["orders"],
"scope": { "marketplace_id": "ATVPDKIKX0DER" }
})
query_db
Run one read-only SELECT. Qualify every table as schema_name.table. Use only columns from get_data_dictionary.
query_db({
"query": "SELECT purchase_date::date AS day, order_status, COUNT(*) AS order_items, SUM(quantity) AS units FROM amazon_sp_seller_<schema>.order_items WHERE purchase_date >= CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '7 days' GROUP BY 1, 2 ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT 100",
"max_rows": 100
})
Replace <schema> with schema_name from list_platforms. item_price is the order-line total; divide by NULLIF(quantity, 0) only when you need per-unit price. Do not use _synced_at as the sales date.
Rules
- Single statement only. No
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/ DDL, noEXCEPTorINTERSECT, nopublicschema or system catalogs - Prefer filters, aggregation, and
LIMIToverSELECT * - Default
max_rowsis 1000

Safety
Hologrow MCP is tenant-scoped and read-only. Use only sources the workspace has authorized. Check freshness before treating a number as current. State the metric definition, attribution window, and comparison period with every important conclusion. Never put API keys into git, skill files, or model replies.
Treat campaign, listing, and budget changes as proposals until a human approves them.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | What to try |
|---|---|
| Cannot find the plugin / connector UI | Confirm client version and permissions. ChatGPT needs Developer mode. Doubao needs the desktop app. |
| OAuth cancelled | Restart authorization. Do not silently switch to an API key. |
| New chat does not see Hologrow | Refresh or restart the client, then retry list_platforms. |
| Agent never calls Hologrow | Send the verify message again, naming list_platforms. |
list_platforms returns [] | MCP works; connect a data source and wait for the first sync. |
| SQL errors on unknown columns | Re-run get_data_dictionary. Do not reuse source-platform field names. |
