Claude.ai custom connectors discover ABConvert’s OAuth configuration from the MCP server URL. You do not need to create, copy, or store a Client ID or Client Secret.
Available where the MCP & API Access settings appear. Requires the MCP surface to be enabled for your store — see Overview.

​
When to use it

  • You use Claude.ai on the web, desktop, or mobile and want to drive ABConvert from chat.
  • You want ABConvert to appear as a connector with an OAuth consent screen instead of configuring a token header.
  • You want to connect a specific store through a short-lived code you generate in that store’s ABConvert settings.

​
When NOT to use it

  • You use Claude Code or another header-based MCP client — use an API token from the Quickstart instead.

​
How it works

  1. You add the ABConvert MCP URL in Claude; Claude discovers the OAuth configuration automatically.
  2. You generate a one-time connect code in the ABConvert settings for the store you want to use.
  3. Claude opens ABConvert’s authorization page, where you enter the connect code and approve access.
  4. Claude receives a store-scoped, expiring OAuth access token and lists the ABConvert tools.

​
Setup

1

Add the connector in Claude

In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  • Name: ABConvert
  • Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.abconvert.io/mcp
Leave any optional OAuth Client ID and Client Secret fields blank, then click Add.
2

Generate a connect code in ABConvert

In your Shopify admin, open ABConvert and go to Settings → MCP & API Access. In Connect to Claude or ChatGPT, click Generate connect code.The code is short-lived and connects only the store where you generated it. Keep it private until you enter it in the authorization page.
3

Enter the code and approve access

Claude opens ABConvert’s authorization page. Enter the connect code, confirm the store domain shown on the consent screen is yours, then click Approve.Claude finishes the connection and lists the ABConvert tools.

Run your first prompt

Ask Claude to work with your tests:
“List my active ABConvert tests and summarize the results of the top one.”

​
Common mistakes

  • Entering an API token in OAuth fields. URL-based Claude connectors use OAuth discovery and the connect-code page. Use an API token only with a header-based client such as Claude Code.
  • Using an expired or already used connect code. Generate a new code in Settings → MCP & API Access and restart the authorization flow.
  • Approving a consent screen for the wrong store. Cancel, generate a code from the intended store, and connect again.
  • Expecting Claude Code to use the connector flow. Claude Code uses a token header instead — see the Quickstart.

FAQ

OAuth access tokens expire automatically. To stop a header-based client immediately, revoke its API token in Settings → MCP & API Access.
Yes. Add or authorize each store separately and enter a newly generated connect code for that store.
Use a token with Codex unless its connector surface supports the ABConvert URL-only OAuth flow. See the Quickstart.
