Terminal.shop MCP server

The Terminal.shop MCP Server allows AI assistants to interact with Terminal.shop's API, enabling seamless browsing of products, cart management, order placement, and subscription handling. It creates a bridge between AI assistants and the e-commerce functionality of Terminal.shop.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Terminal.shop MCP Server, you'll need:

• Node.js
• A Terminal.shop account
• A Terminal.shop API token

Installation

Step 1: Clone the repository

Clone the repository to your local machine.

Step 2: Install dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Generate a Terminal.shop API token

Connect to Terminal.shop and create a new token:

ssh terminal.shop -t tokens

Step 4: Configure Claude

Open claude.app, go to settings, click the 'developer' option and then 'edit config'. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "terminal-shop-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path_to_folder/server.js"],
      "env": {
        "TERMINAL_API_TOKEN": "token here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace "path_to_folder/server.js" with the actual path to the server.js file in your cloned repository, and "token here" with your Terminal.shop API token.

Step 5: Restart Claude

Restart claude.app and verify the installation was successful by checking for the hammer icon under the input field.

How to add this MCP server to Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "cursor-rules-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "cursor-rules-mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
