# Connect an AI assistant to manage bundles and your cart drawer

> Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Cursor to Section Store, approve it in Shopify admin, then ask it to build bundles and carts.

Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and other AI assistants can build and change your bundles and cart drawer. You add our server URL to your assistant, approve the connection in Shopify admin, then ask in plain words.

The server URL is `https://mcp.section.store/mcp`. This connection is called an MCP connector. Connecting is free, and there is no API key to paste.

## Before you start

- Section Store must be installed on your store.
- Assistants build bundles and carts on any plan. Switching them on needs Section Store Plus.

## Connect your assistant

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store**.
2. Find the **Build with AI** line. It sits on **Home** under the AI Pages card, and at the top of **Bundles** and **Cart Drawer**.
3. Click **ChatGPT**. The **AI assistants** page opens. It serves every assistant, not only ChatGPT. If an assistant is already connected, **Manage** opens the same page.
4. Click **Copy** next to **Server URL**. You see **URL copied**.
5. Add the URL in your assistant:
   - **Claude:** open **Settings**, then **Connectors**. Click **Add custom connector** and paste the URL. The **Claude** button on the **Build with AI** line opens Claude's directory listing instead.
   - **ChatGPT:** open chatgpt.com/plugins and click the plus button. Choose **Add custom MCP server**, paste the URL and pick **OAuth**.
   - **Grok:** open grok.com/connectors. Click **New Connector**, then **Custom**, and paste the URL.
   - **Cursor, Claude Code and other MCP clients:** add a remote MCP server with the URL.
6. Your assistant opens a sign-in page titled **Connect [assistant] to Section Store**.
7. Enter **Your store**. Your myshopify address, admin URL or store domain all work.
8. Click **Continue**. Shopify admin opens.
9. Read what the assistant can do, then click **Connect [assistant]**.
10. You land back in the assistant, connected. You may see **Going back to your assistant…** first.

Stay in the same browser from step 6 to step 10, and finish within 15 minutes.

## Try it

Ask your assistant: "Show me my Section Store bundles." It should list your bundles.

**Build with AI** also has a **Watch how it works** link to a walkthrough video.

## What happens next

- New bundles start off. New carts start off too, except a Plus store's first cart, which goes live at once with its rewards.
- A change to a live bundle or cart goes in two steps. Your assistant shows you a picture and a list of changes, then confirms after your yes.
- Switching on or off and undo happen at once.
- Your assistant can undo its changes for 30 days.
- The connection covers one store. It works with bundles, the cart drawer and A/B tests on them. It doesn't cover sections, Conversion Blocks or AI Pages.
- To check or end a connection, click **Manage** next to **Build with AI**.

## If it doesn't work

- **"This sign-in started in another browser":** start again from your assistant, and approve in the browser the sign-in opened in.
- **"We couldn't find Section Store on that store":** check the address, or install Section Store first.
- **"We got too many sign-ins from your network":** wait 10 minutes and try again.
- **Your assistant has no option for custom connectors:** check that assistant's help pages. We can't change what its plan includes.

Still stuck? Open the chat bubble in the Section Store app or email help@section.store.
