PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 12 things (tools) customcat_list_products, customcat_get_product, customcat_list_designs, customcat_list_catalog_categories …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

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.

  • customcat_list_products

    List the products you set up in CustomCat (a design on one or more catalog items) with variants, SKUs, cost, price, stock flag and design images. Use the variant SKUs when placing an order for these products. GET /product.

  • customcat_get_product

    One of your CustomCat products by id (e.g. 22-2580581): variants, SKUs, cost, price, options, designs. GET /product/{product_id}.

  • customcat_list_designs

    List the designs uploaded to your CustomCat account: id, name, tags, image URLs, default product and last-updated time. GET /design.

  • customcat_list_catalog_categories

    The CustomCat catalog categories (Digisoft, Sublimation) and their subcategories (e.g. T-Shirts, Sweatshirts, Bags), to narrow customcat_list_catalog. GET /catalogcategory.

  • customcat_list_catalog

    Browse the full CustomCat catalog of printable blank products (the items you can order with your own artwork). Filter by category and subcategory from customcat_list_catalog_categories. The reply carries the total in `total`. GET /catalog.

  • customcat_get_catalog_product

    One catalog product by numeric id with its colors, sizes and SKUs. GET /catalog/{catalog_product_id}.

  • customcat_get_catalog_sku

    One catalog SKU with its price and stock status. Use it before ordering: a SKU that is out of stock, discontinued or invalid makes the order fail. GET /catalog/sku/{catalog_sku_id}.

  • customcat_list_shipping_methods

    The shipping methods CustomCat offers for a destination country (ids and names). The method name is required when placing an order. GET /shipping.

  • customcat_get_shipping_cost

    Calculate the shipping cost of one shipping method for a destination and a list of catalog SKUs with quantities. Read-only quote: it places nothing. POST /shipping/{shipping_id} (shipping_id from customcat_list_shipping_methods).

  • customcat_get_order_status

    Status of an order by YOUR order id: order status (Pending, Verified, Shipped), per-item production status, shipments with tracking ids, totals and the ship-to address. Set sandbox=true to look up a sandbox test order. GET /order/status/{order_id}.

  • customcat_create_order

    WRITE: place an order for CustomCat to print and ship. This CHARGES the payment method on file in your CustomCat account (product cost + shipping; a front+back print adds $5 per line item) unless sandbox=true, which only validates the order. A real order (sandbox=false) also need

  • customcat_cancel_order

    WRITE: cancel (delete) an order by YOUR order id. CustomCat can only cancel an order that has not gone into production; one already printed or shipped is refused. Needs the Write API key. Confirm with the user first. DELETE /order/{order_id}.

Common questions

Is CustomCat 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 (1.15.3) 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?

In the same category: Spree Commerce: open-source B2B and marketplace ecommerce, Stripe MCP, MCP Cn Commerce

Live endpoint: https://customcat.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/customcat

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://customcat.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http customcat https://customcat.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.

{

"mcpServers": { "customcat": { "url": "https://customcat.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 CustomCat credentials.

On first connect you'll paste your CustomCat API key (the CustomCat app → Settings).
