What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
channable_list_ordersList the marketplace orders of a project, newest first. Filters combine with AND; dates are read as UTC. Paged: pass next_offset as offset (total is the size of the page, not of all orders). Reply: orders, error_count (orders with an error), count, next_offset. GET /v2/companies/
channable_get_orderOne order with its customer, addresses, items, status, fulfillments and event log. order_id is the Channable order id (the id field from channable_list_orders). GET /v2/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/orders/{order_id}.
channable_ship_orderSet an order to shipped, with tracking data. Give transporter as a Channable transporter code (channable_list_transporters lists them) and tracking_code. Pass order_item_ids to ship only some items (the order then becomes partial; repeat with the other items later); omit it to sh
channable_cancel_orderSeller-side cancellation: set an order to cancelled. Pass order_item_ids to cancel only some items (the order then becomes partial); omit it to cancel the whole order. Amazon, Cdiscount and Spartoo do not support partial cancellations. A buyer-side cancellation must be confirmed
channable_mark_order_manualTell Channable that you handle this order yourself: Channable takes no further action on it (no status updates to the marketplace). POST /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/orders/{order_id}/manual. Channable passes this change on to the marketplace. It cannot be undone th
channable_create_returnManually create a return on the marketplace for products of an order. Only Fruugo, Otto, Veepee and Zalando support this. products lists the product ids (the item id of the order), the quantity and optionally accepted or rejected. POST /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/o
channable_list_returnsList the returns of a project, newest first. Dates are read as UTC. Paged: pass next_offset as offset. Reply: returns, error_count, count, next_offset. GET /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/returns.
channable_get_returnOne return with its item, reason, customer, status and log. return_id is the id field from channable_list_returns. GET /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/returns/{return_id}.
channable_update_return_statusSet the status of a return: accepted, rejected, repaired, keeps, exchanged, cancelled. Depending on the status the customer does or does not get their money back (accepted and cancelled differ from rejected). POST /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/returns/{return_id}/sta
channable_list_stock_updatesList the offers (product stock updates) that were posted to a project, newest first: id, stock, price, title, GTIN. Paged: pass next_offset as offset. Reply: offers, count, next_offset. GET /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{project}/offers.
channable_update_stockSet the stock of up to 50 offers. Each item is the offer id as the marketplaces know it, plus the WHOLE new stock value (not a delta). Channable passes the new stock to every marketplace of the project, which changes what customers can buy. POST /v1/companies/{company}/projects/{
channable_get_order_statisticsOrder statistics of a project for a time frame: orders, ordered products, marketplace commission, shipping costs, revenue and daily revenue, per order connection and in total. Pass order_config_id (the order_config_id field of an order) for one order connection only. GET /v1/comp
channable_list_transportersChannable transporter codes for shipping updates. With no argument: all codes and labels (transporter_code is what channable_ship_order expects). With transporter_code: the marketplace-specific carriers behind that code. With channel (a marketplace such as bol, amazon, ebay): the

Common questions
Is Channable MCP by usefulapi safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.7.3) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

Channable MCP by usefulapi
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://channable.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http channable https://channable.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": { "channable": { "url": "https://channable.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Channable credentials.

Account access and marketplace effects
Only a company owner can generate the API token under Company settings → Channable API. Find the project ID in its Settings. Tokens expire after one year; revoke the dedicated token to stop access. Usage and billing follow the company ID.
Requested customer contact/address, order and return data reaches your chosen AI client and LLM provider; API tokens do not. Shipment, cancellation, return and stock tools can change live marketplace orders and availability. Mark-manual stops Channable processing without notifying the marketplace. Confirm targets and values before changes. No request is automatically retried; check Channable before retrying an uncertain or partial write. Independent integration; no vendor approval or endorsement claimed.
