What is the MCP Server?

MCP Server is the secure bridge between your product data and the new generation of AI and enterprise tools. It makes product catalogs accessible in a standardized way, so teams can analyze, enrich, and automate information directly from the PIM without creating custom integrations or duplicating work.

Connect Smart Tools with Your Product Data API

The MCP Server acts as a standardized bridge between AI-powered tools and your Sales Layer API. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible application to query, analyze, and interact with your product catalogs through a unified interface.

Build applications with AI elements faster by leveraging pre-built connectors and standardized protocols. Whether you're creating smart product assistants, automated content generators, or intelligent search tools, the MCP Server provides the foundation to integrate AI capabilities with your product data.

Automate Workflows with Agentic Tools

The MCP Server is purpose-built for integration with workflow automation platforms and agentic systems. Connect with tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, or custom agent frameworks to create complex product data processes that run continuously without manual intervention.

With the MCP protocol at the core, you can create intelligent agents that monitor catalog changes, trigger enrichment pipelines, validate data quality, and synchronize information across systems. MCP keeps these workflows running smoothly inside your preferred automation platform and ensures they stay maintainable and portable across all tools and environments.

Protect Your Data with Enterprise Security Standards

Run your AI stack without sending a single file outside your infrastructure. With local deployment and built-in security practices such as API keys, OAuth 2.0, encrypted transport, and Sales Layer’s ISO 27001-certified environment, you maintain full control of your data at all times.

Real-time monitoring and zero-downtime updates give your technical team the stability and regulatory compliance needed to scale with confidence.

Choose Your Server Mode

Sales Layer provides two versions of the MCP Server, depending on the level of control you need.

Read-Only Server

Designed for safe exploration and analysis of product catalogs. This option lets you run audits, generate quality reports, and benchmark against the market without any risk of altering the source data. It's the fastest way to start using AI to understand your product information.

Read/Write Server

Built for full automation of product workflows. In addition to everything available in Read-only, this version allows you to create new product records, update prices or descriptions in bulk, and synchronize catalogs across ERP and ecommerce systems. It's ideal when you want AI to not only detect issues, but also take action.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between remote and local deployment?

Remote deployment is hosted by Sales Layer, requires no installation, and offers instant setup with automatic updates on an ISO-certified, high-uptime infrastructure.

Local deployment is fully self-hosted inside your environment, giving you complete control, custom configuration options, and support for firewalled or air-gapped networks.

Is my data safe with the MCP?

Yes. All connections use encrypted transport, role-based permissions, and ISO 27001 compliance. Every access is logged for full visibility.

Can I test Sales Layer's MCP before enabling automation?

Absolutely. You can start with the Read-only version to run audits and generate insights. When ready, move to Read/Write for full automation.

Do I need technical knowledge to use the MCP Server?

No. Business teams can run audits, generate reports, and create content without technical support. IT only needs to approve the initial connection if security policies require it.

Does the MCP server have an extra cost?

No. The MCP server is included with your Sales Layer PIM license at no additional charge. You can start using it as soon as your PIM is live.

Does the MCP replace my PIM?

No. Sales Layer PIM remains your central hub. MCP simply extends its reach, making your product data usable in AI tools and business systems.
