Claude Desktop connects to eBay through the CData Code Assist MCP for eBay using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

When you launch Claude, it automatically detects MCP connections registered during setup. These connections are created and saved using the CData Code Assist MCP Configuration Tool, which is installed with the MCP server.

Each saved connection is recognized by Claude and can be referenced by name when asking questions.

How Claude Uses the Server

When you ask Claude a question, it launches the corresponding MCP server connection, reads the available tool descriptions provided by the connector, and generates a secure query in the background.

There is no need to write SQL or teach Claude how to query your data. Each tool is self-describing, and Claude consumes those descriptions to determine how to retrieve the right information.

Example Prompts

After setup, you can ask Claude natural-language questions like:

• "Which items in my inventory have the highest number of views?"
• "Show me all listings that have received offers from buyers."
• "Which products have the highest number of watchers in the past 7 days?"
• "How many items have sold in the last 30 days?"
• "List all orders that were shipped late."
• "List all orders placed by repeat customers."
• "Show a summary of orders by shipping status."
• "Show the daily revenue from sales for the last 14 days."
• "What are the top 10 products with the highest return rate?"
• "What are the most common shipping destinations for my orders?"

Claude securely executes the query using the MCP server and responds using the live results from eBay.
