MCP connection

Connect your AI to the shop once.

After that, ask in plain words. Your AI searches the shop, tells you what each skill does and costs, and walks you through the install.

  • Free to connect
  • No account needed to search
  • Never takes payment and never asks for card details

Run this once in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http ap-shop https://shop.automatedpublishers.com/mcp

https://shop.automatedpublishers.com/mcp

Each AI tool is listed by name only after it has been tested.

Ask, see the price, decide

  1. Ask like you normally do"My paperback got rejected. Is there a skill for that?"
  2. Your AI checks the shopIt finds the skill, says what it does, what it can't do and what it costs.
  3. You decideFree skills: where to get them. Paid: the checkout page, which you open and pay yourself. Then your AI walks you through the install.

install_skillHow to install a skillInstall steps for one skill. Free skills: where to get it. Paid skills: the checkout page if not bought yet, or where a buyer downloads it. Then follow the returned steps with the user.
request_skillRequest a skillPass on a request for a KDP skill the shop does not have yet. Only send what the user asked you to send.

What it never does

  • Take payment, or ask for card details or passwords.
  • Log in to KDP or any other account.
  • Install anything without you: it shows the steps and asks before anything that touches your accounts or deletes files.
