MCP is a protocol that connects AI assistants to external data sources. The Colossal MCP server acts as a bridge between your AI tools and your project.
Prerequisites
- An AI assistant that supports MCP and its authorization spec (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code)
Connect
The server uses OAuth, so there is no token to copy. Your client opens a browser the first time it connects, you sign in to Colossal and approve the client, and it stores the token itself.- Claude Code
- Cursor
- VS Code
/mcp in Claude Code to check the connection or sign in again.
Any MCP client that implements the authorization spec works the same way: point it at
https://mcp.colossal.sh/mcp and let it discover the rest. The server advertises its
authorization server at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.
Tokens are issued for this server specifically and cannot be replayed against the
Colossal API. If you want a credential for direct REST or GraphQL calls, create an API
token in the dashboard instead; the MCP server does not accept those.
What you can do
Once connected, ask your AI assistant to work with your project data:- Query products, customers, and orders
- Analyze sales and customer behavior
- Generate reports from commerce data
- Build apps using real project data

For other MCP-compatible clients:Troubleshooting
- Can’t connect — run
/mcpin Claude Code to re-run the sign-in - 401 after a while — the token expired; your client refreshes it on the next call, or sign in again
- Field not found — use
search_schemato check the fields a type actually has - Rate limiting — wait between requests and retry
