Connect an AI agent to ShopAbout

Checked against each agent's own documentation on 12 October 2026. Menus change; if a step doesn't match, the agent's own help is the authority.

An agent connected to ShopAbout acts as you: it can read and change the lists you're on and lists shared with you, and nothing else. Disconnect it any time in the app: Settings → Connected agents.

Two ways to connect

Sign in with a browser (easiest). Add this address as a connector or MCP server in your agent:
```
https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp
```
It opens a ShopAbout page asking for a sign-in code: in the app, Settings → Connected agents → Get a sign-in code, type it in, and tap Allow.
Set it up by hand. In the app, Settings → Connected agents → Set up an agent by hand → Create an agent token. Then give the agent the address above and the header Authorization: Bearer <token>. An agent token is like a password: keep it in a password manager or an environment variable, never in a shared file or a web page.

Tested so far: Claude, signing in with a browser. The others below follow their makers' documentation; if one doesn't work, email gwalker@tassiecreations.au.

Claude (web, desktop and mobile)

On claude.ai or Claude Desktop: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector.
Name it ShopAbout and paste the address above, then Continue and Add. If signing in fails, choose automatic registration as the sign-in client.
Sign in when it asks, with a sign-in code from the app. In a chat, turn it on under + → Connectors. It then works on the web, desktop and mobile apps.

Team and Enterprise: an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web; then each person clicks Connect and signs in.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http shopabout https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp

then /mcp in Claude Code (or claude mcp login shopabout) and sign in. Or with an agent token:

claude mcp add --transport http shopabout https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

If Claude Code is signed in to the same Claude account where you added the connector, it may already have ShopAbout; check with claude mcp list so it isn't there twice.

ChatGPT

Sign in with a browser only: ChatGPT can't use an agent token. It needs Developer mode, and which plans can use it, and whether it can change things or only read them, varies; see OpenAI's "Developer mode and MCP apps in ChatGPT" help page.

Turn on Developer mode in ChatGPT's settings.
In ChatGPT on the web, add a custom MCP server (under plugins): name ShopAbout, a public endpoint, the address above, and OAuth for authentication.
Sign in when it asks, with a sign-in code from the app.

Gemini app

Custom apps are only for personal Google accounts in the US, in English, for people 18 or over. On gemini.google.com: Settings → Connected Apps → Custom apps → Add a custom app, paste the address above, and sign in with a sign-in code from the app. Agent tokens aren't documented for the Gemini app.

Antigravity CLI (which replaced the Gemini CLI)

Google retired the Gemini CLI for individual users in June 2026. In the Antigravity CLI, add ShopAbout to ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json. To sign in with a browser, give just the address; to use an agent token, add the header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopabout": {
      "serverUrl": "https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <token>" }
    }
  }
}

With a Gemini CLI that still works for you (Code Assist or a paid API key):

gemini mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>" shopabout https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp

VS Code with GitHub Copilot

Command Palette → MCP: Add Server, or add to .mcp.json in your workspace. Signing in with a browser:

{ "servers": { "shopabout": { "type": "http", "url": "https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp" } } }

With an agent token, asked for once and kept by VS Code:

{
  "inputs": [{ "type": "promptString", "id": "shopabout-token", "description": "ShopAbout agent token", "password": true }],
  "servers": {
    "shopabout": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${input:shopabout-token}" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Leave out headers to sign in with a browser; with an agent token in the environment variable SHOPABOUT_TOKEN:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopabout": {
      "url": "https://test-api.tassiecreations.au/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:SHOPABOUT_TOKEN}" }
    }
  }
}

Any other agent

ShopAbout is a standard MCP server (Streamable HTTP) at the address above. It signs in with OAuth 2.1 (automatic client registration and PKCE), or takes an agent token as the header Authorization: Bearer <token>.
