Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant browse a Printful print-on-demand catalog, stores, orders, shipping rates and stats, and create draft orders, files and mockups.

What it does
Connects an assistant to a Printful account through a hosted MCP endpoint. Read tools cover stores, catalog categories, products and variants, store and synced products, orders, shipping rate calculation, order cost estimates, files, printfile specs, mockup task results and store statistics. Write tools create and update draft orders, add files to the File Library, and start mockup generation tasks. Meta tools report usage against the free-tier meter and manage a Pro subscription.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up Printful catalog and store data, quote shipping or estimate order costs, check order and sales statistics, or prepare draft orders and mockups without leaving the chat client. It fits print-on-demand sellers and support workflows that already use Printful. Not needed if you only want static product information or do not have a Printful account.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at no local install or package. A Printful Private Token (from developers.printful.com) is supplied on first connect, plus an optional default store ID. Network access to the hosted endpoint is required. Free tier is limited to 100 tool calls per month.
Before you install
Write tools mutate data and clients should confirm them: printful_create_draft_order, printful_update_draft_order, printful_add_file and printful_create_mockup_task. A Printful Private Token is required and is stored per-user by the hosted service, so the operator of that endpoint holds a credential that can act on your Printful account; the README says it is validated and scoped to you. Meta tools report usage and can upgrade a paid subscription (Pro at $9/mo or $90/yr), so spending can be…
