Connect Venon to ChatGPT, Claude, and Other Tools

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or your own tools to Venon and use your real store data.

Written by Venon

Connect Venon to ChatGPT or Claude in about 1 minute. Once connected, you can ask questions using your real store data instead of copying numbers into the chat.

  • Use the AI Connector for ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor.

  • Use the Public API for custom dashboards, spreadsheets, reports, and other tools.

You need admin access in Venon to set up a connection. Each AI Connector can access 1 shop. Create a separate connector for each additional shop.


What you can ask

  • “Which Meta campaigns made the most profit in the last 30 days?”

  • “Show revenue, ad spend, and profit by channel.”

  • “Which products are missing costs?”

  • “What should I scale, stop, or test next?”

You can also choose an attribution model and window, for example: “Use last paid click with a 7-day window.”


Connect Claude

  1. Open Claude and click Plus.

  2. Click Connectors, then Manage Connectors.

  3. Click Add Custom Connector.

  4. Enter Venon as the name.

  5. Enter this connector URL:

    https://developer.venon.io/mcp
  6. Leave the other fields empty and click Add.

  7. Sign in to Venon, choose the shop this connector should access, and approve the connection.

Test the connection by asking: “Which Meta campaigns made the most profit in the last 7 days?”

Connect multiple shops

Each AI Connector can access 1 shop. To use the same AI assistant with more shops, add a separate connector, app, or MCP server for each shop.

  1. Use this URL for the first shop:

    https://developer.venon.io/mcp
  2. Use this URL for the second shop:

    https://developer.venon.io/mcp/connections/2
  3. Use this URL for the third shop:

    https://developer.venon.io/mcp/connections/3
  4. For each additional shop, increase the final number. Continue through /connections/10 for the tenth shop.

  5. Complete the Venon sign-in for each connection and choose the shop it should access.

Name each connection after its shop so it is easy to select the right one.


Manage or disconnect an AI assistant

  • In Venon, go to Settings → API & MCP.

  • Your connected assistants appear under MCP Connections.

  • Click the trash icon to disconnect an assistant. Its access stops immediately.


Use the Public API

Use the Public API when you want Venon data in another system, such as a spreadsheet, BI tool, scheduled report, or custom dashboard.

Create an API key

  1. Go to Settings → API & MCP.

  2. Under API Keys, click Create API Key.

  3. Give the key a clear name, such as Nightly report or Internal dashboard.

  4. Choose what the key can access and when it should expire.

  5. Click Create, then copy the key.

Important: Venon shows the full key only once. If you lose it, delete it and create a new one.

Choose permissions

  • Analytics (Read) (analytics:read): view analytics and dashboard data.

  • Costs (Read) (cost:read): view product costs, shipping profiles, and payment fees.

  • Costs (Write) (cost:write): add or update cost data.

Only give a key the access it needs.

API documentation

  • Full documentation: developerdocs.venon.io

  • Base URL: https://developer.venon.io

  • Default limit: 60 requests per minute for each key.

Manage API keys

  • See your keys under Settings → API & MCP.

  • Click the trash icon to revoke a key immediately.

  • Create a new key if you need different permissions.


Keep access secure

  • Treat API keys like passwords.

  • Only give each connection the access it needs.

  • Remove connections and keys you no longer use.

  • Check values before allowing a tool to update cost data.


Troubleshooting

  • I can’t find API & MCP: only Venon admins can access this page.

  • The assistant can’t see data: disconnect it, reconnect it, and make sure you choose the correct shop.

  • The assistant can read data but can’t update costs: reconnect it and enable Costs (Write).

  • 401 Unauthorized: the key is missing, incorrect, expired, or revoked.

  • 403 Forbidden: the key does not have the access required for that action.

  • 429 Too Many Requests: wait briefly, then try again.

  • The numbers look wrong: check the attribution model, attribution window, and selected shop.
