If you want to use AI to build inside your Simplero account, the best option is to use Simplero Coach. Coach enables you to use many different LLMs
If you can’t or don’t want to use Simplero Coach, you can connect your Simplero account directly to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and more using MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Once connected, you can ask the AI to interact with your Simplero account using normal language.
For example:
"Show me my products.”
The AI can securely access and work with your Simplero account after you approve the connection.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard way for AI tools to securely connect to external apps like Simplero.
Think of it as a bridge between your AI assistant and your Simplero account.
Instead of manually using APIs or building integrations yourself, MCP allows compatible AI tools to understand what actions are available and perform them for you conversationally.
Once connected, you can begin asking the AI questions or giving instructions related to your Simplero account.
Simplero can currently connect to AI tools that support MCP:
ChatGPT
Claude
Cursor
Gemini
Perplexity
Grok
Mistral
Microsoft Copilot
The AI can only access your Simplero account after you approve the connection. Actions performed through MCP use your Simplero permissions and account access. Depending on the AI tool, some actions may require additional confirmation before changes are made.
Both MCP and the Simplero API allow external tools to interact with Simplero, but they are designed for different use cases.
| MCP | API |
|---|---|
| Conversational and AI-friendly | Developer-focused |
| Quick setup | Custom integrations |
| No coding required | Requires technical setup |
| Works directly inside AI tools | Used for apps, automations, and custom software |
| Best for everyday AI assistance | Best for advanced workflows |
If you want to use Simplero directly inside tools like ChatGPT or Claude, MCP is usually the easiest option.
If you’re building custom applications or advanced automations, the API may still be the better choice. Check this guide if you prefer to use API directly
Make sure:
the AI tool supports MCP
the connector URL was pasted correctly
you completed the Simplero login and approval step
Try:
Reconnecting the MCP connector
logging out and back into Simplero
checking whether the AI tool still has permission
