Demand forecasts, reorder points, order quantities and inventory health for Shopify stores.
Forthcast Inventory's hosted MCP server (app.forthcast.io), published by forthcast.io; no sign-in required; Streamable HTTP; 11 tools.
No AI overview yet: these facts come from the registry entry and the server itself.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.forthcast%2Finventory/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Get inventory overview
Use this when the merchant asks for a broad inventory health check, an executive summary, their urgent/excess/no-demand counts, inventory valuation, or current PO workload. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
Takes no parameters.
Get reorder recommendations
Use this when the merchant asks what to reorder, how much to buy, or which critical/warning items need action. Quantities reuse Forthcast's live lead-time, MOQ, case-pack, open-PO, location, and supplier minimum-order-value logic; this tool does not create a PO. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
limitprioritysupplierFind inventory items
Use this when the merchant wants a bounded list of their items filtered by urgency, assigned supplier, or Shopify vendor, such as all excess items or a supplier's critical SKUs. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
limitvendorurgencysupplierGet inventory item
Use this when the merchant names an exact SKU and needs its live stock, forecast demand, days of supply, reorder point, suggested quantity, supplier, or open-PO coverage. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
skurequiredList purchase orders
Use this when the merchant asks what is ordered, drafted, open, partially received, received, cancelled, overdue, expected, or associated with a named supplier. Results are grouped by PO; this tool does not approve, receive, cancel, or otherwise modify an order. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
limitstatussupplierGet supplier performance
Use this when the merchant asks how suppliers are performing or wants rolling 24-month on-time rate, fill rate, actual versus promised lead time, spend, or invoice price accuracy, plus current open and overdue purchase-order counts. Requires a connected Forthcast store; the assistant will prompt to sign in.
limitsupplierCalculate reorder point
Use this when someone asks how much safety stock to hold or at what stock level to reorder a product. Give a daily demand history (best) or an average daily demand with its variability, plus the supplier lead time and a service level. Returns safety stock, lead-time demand and the reorder point with Forthcast's formula and assumptions. Works without a connected store.
daily_demandservice_levellead_time_daysrequireddemand_std_dailyaverage_daily_demandCalculate order quantity
Use this when someone asks how many units to order, given demand, lead time, stock on hand and on order, and supplier rules such as MOQ, case pack or a minimum order value. Sizes the line the way Forthcast sizes a purchase-order line and lists every rule that changed the quantity. Works without a connected store.

Use this when someone pastes past sales numbers and asks what to expect next month, next quarter or next season. Takes 3 to 365 monthly, weekly or daily totals (oldest first) and returns the next periods with an 80 percent range, the model used (Holt-Winters seasonal, damped trend, Croston for intermittent demand, or moving average) and why. Works without a connected store.
salesrequiredperiodhorizonScore inventory health
Use this when someone shares a list or CSV of products with stock and sales rates and asks which need reordering, which are overstocked, or how healthy the inventory is. Up to 500 rows. Applies Forthcast's urgency bands (Order now, Plan ahead, On track, Excess, No demand), reorder points, suggested quantities and inventory value. Works without a connected store.
itemsrequiredservice_leveldefault_lead_time_daysExplain inventory metric
Use this when someone asks what an inventory planning term means or how Forthcast calculates it: safety stock, reorder point, days of cover, urgency bands, service level, ABC class, EOQ, order quantity, fill rate, on-time rate, lead time, intermittent demand. Works without a connected store.
metricrequired83% of the applicable checks met
How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.
A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
