PopNx MCP’s three pillars

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

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

  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 15 things (tools) orderdesk_get_store, orderdesk_list_orders, orderdesk_get_order, orderdesk_list_order_items …
  • 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.

  • orderdesk_get_store

    The store's name, id, FOLDERS (id -> name; orders live in exactly one folder, and folder ids are needed to filter and move orders) and key settings (timezone, locale, stock behavior, shipping methods). The API key and mail credentials are never returned. GET /store.

  • orderdesk_list_orders

    Search orders, newest first, with items, addresses, totals, payment and shipments. Filters combine with AND. Prefer a date range: Order Desk asks clients to avoid open-ended queries. Page with limit and offset (next_offset). GET /orders.

  • orderdesk_get_order

    One order by Order Desk's internal id: addresses, items, totals, payment, notes, discounts, checkout data and shipments. To find an order by your own id, use orderdesk_list_orders with source_id. GET /orders/{order_id}.

  • orderdesk_list_order_items

    The line items of one order (name, SKU, price, quantity, weight, delivery type, variations). GET /orders/{order_id}/order-items.

  • orderdesk_list_order_shipments

    The shipments recorded against an order: carrier, tracking number and URL, method, weight, cost, dates. GET /orders/{order_id}/shipments.

  • orderdesk_create_order

    WRITE: add a new order to the store. Needs at least one item, and a name or company in the shipping or customer address (if only one address is given the other is copied from it). Omit folder_id to land in the first folder. Order Desk rejects an order it recognizes as a duplicate

  • orderdesk_update_order

    WRITE: change fields of an existing order. Order Desk's PUT replaces the whole record, so this reads the order, applies only the fields you pass (shipping/customer address fields and checkout_data/order_metadata keys are merged into what is there, other values replaced) and sends

  • orderdesk_add_order_item

    WRITE: add one line item to an existing order; Order Desk recalculates the totals. POST /orders/{order_id}/order-items.

  • orderdesk_add_order_note

    WRITE: append an entry to an order's history. History is append-only (entries cannot be edited or removed) and an order holds at most 250 entries, so do not use it for routine polling. POST /orders/{order_id}/order-history.

  • orderdesk_add_shipment

    WRITE: record a shipment (carrier and tracking number) against an order. One shipment per parcel; several shipments represent a partial fulfillment. Use "n/a" when there is no tracking number. If tracking_url is omitted Order Desk derives it. POST /orders/{order_id}/shipments.

  • orderdesk_move_orders

    WRITE: move one or more orders to another folder. Moving runs the rules attached to the destination folder (which can send e-mail, call fulfillment services, etc.) and writes a history entry. Pass exactly one of destination_folder_id or destination_folder_name (see orderdesk_get_

  • orderdesk_list_inventory_items

    Search the store's inventory (SKU, name, price, cost, weight, stock, location). Order Desk returns every match with no paging, so narrow with search/code/name; limit and offset slice the result here. GET /inventory-items.

  • orderdesk_get_inventory_item

    One inventory item by Order Desk's internal id. GET /inventory-items/{inventory_item_id}.

  • orderdesk_create_inventory_item

    WRITE: add an inventory item. The code (SKU) must match the code your orders arrive with. POST /inventory-items.

  • orderdesk_update_inventory_item

    WRITE: change fields of an inventory item, for example its stock count. Order Desk's PUT replaces the whole record, so this reads the item, applies only the fields you pass (metadata and variation keys are merged) and sends the complete record back. PUT /inventory-items/{inventor

Common questions

Is Order Desk 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 (1.19.3) 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

Order Desk MCP by usefulapi

Use Order Desk from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — search orders and inventory items, read orders with their items and shipments, plus labelled writes to create or update orders, add items, notes and shipments, move orders between folders and manage inventory. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Order Desk Store ID and API key.

Live endpoint: https://order-desk.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/order-desk

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://order-desk.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http order-desk https://order-desk.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "order-desk": { "url": "https://order-desk.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 Order Desk credentials.
