Overview
Etsy MCP (aserper/etsy-mcp) is an open-source Model Context Protocol server for Etsy Open API v3. The project advertises on the order of 37 tools spanning listings, orders, shipping, reviews, inventory, payments, and related seller operations so MCP hosts can drive an Etsy shop conversationally.
You provide an Etsy API keystring (ETSY_API_KEY) and run the server under your MCP client. The README includes an explicit disclaimer that the project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.
Key Features
- Listings management: Tools oriented around creating and maintaining Etsy listings.
- Orders & shipping: Order operations and shipping-related helpers for fulfillment.
- Reviews & reputation: Review-oriented API access for shop health checks.
- Inventory & payments: Stock and payment-related tools from the Open API surface.
- Broad v3 coverage: README categorizes a large tool matrix across Etsy seller domains.
- Standard MCP wiring: Env-based API key configuration for Claude/Cursor-style hosts.
How to Use
- Install an MCP-compatible host (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.).
- Clone or install the server from https://github.com/aserper/etsy-mcp and follow the README for build /
npx/ Docker commands. - Create API credentials for the underlying platform and put them in the MCP
envblock — never commit secrets. - Register the server in your client MCP config (Claude Desktop
claude_desktop_config.jsonor Cursormcp.json), then restart the client. - Start with read-only prompts; enable write tools only after you understand scopes and confirmation settings.
