Use Cases


Once configured, a connector automatically becomes:

  • A streamable MCP server, which can be used in external AI clients such as Cursor or Claude.

  • A Connector Node in the Workflow module, which can be used to automate data transfer or system operations.

Purpose

Where to Configure

Use Case

Connect merchants to internal or external systems

Workspace > Merchant > Connectors

Used in Integrations, Workflows, and AI (MCP) tools

Automate data sync and exchange

Workflow > Connector Node

Reuse established connectors for multi-system automation

Expose integration to AI clients

Integrations > Connected List

Register MCP URLs in AI assistants like Claude or Cursor

Streamable MCP Server

Every successfully connected integration automatically generates a streamable MCP URL, which acts as an API endpoint for AI-assisted development environments.

Example: https://di-v3-staging.item.com/streamable-http/AmazonFBM/mcp/xxxxxxxxxxx

This URL can be registered in compatible tools such as Cursor or Claude to call integration tools directly from the AI interface. Use cases include:

  • Query orders via listOrders

  • Update fulfillment via createFulfillment

  • Manage inventory via setInventory

Connector Nodes in Workflows

migration:di/v3/connector-node.png

Once a connector is connected, it becomes a reusable Connector Node inside the Workflow module. Each Connector Node includes:

  • Authorized Connector: The integration reference created in Workspace.

  • Operator: The specific action exposed by the connector (e.g., getOrders, syncInventory, createShipment).

  • Parameters: Input values or variables required by the operator (e.g., product ID, order number).
