## Introduction

### How to connect Commerce Layer MCP with ChatGPT Work
[ChatGPT Work](https://openai.com/chatgpt-work/) is an agent inside ChatGPT built for your most ambitious work. It takes action across your apps and files, stays with a project for hours, and turns a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs - not just answers.
In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Commerce Layer account to ChatGPT Work via Composio Connect, so it can create orders, update your inventory, adjust prices and promotions, manage customers, and track shipments through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/commerce_layer/framework/hermes-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Commerce Layer integration lets ChatGPT Work take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

## Connect Commerce Layer to ChatGPT Work

### Prerequisites
- A ChatGPT account with access to ChatGPT Work (rolling out across Pro, Enterprise, Edu, Plus, and Business plans). We will use the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://openai.com/chatgpt/download/), which is available on every plan.
- Access to the Commerce Layer workspace you want to connect.
- [Composio MCP](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=chatgpt&utm_content=composio_connect&next=%2F~%2Forg%2Fconnect%2Fclients%2Fchatgpt).
Note: Composio connects through OAuth. You will be asked to sign in and approve specific permissions. Review the permission screen carefully if you are using a work account.
### Step-by-step: Connect Commerce Layer to ChatGPT Work
### 1. Open the MCP settings
In ChatGPT Work, go to Settings and open the Plugins section. Inside the Plugins page, click the MCP tab.
### 2. Add the server
Click Add server. In the Name field enter Composio, for Type select Streamable HTTP, and in the URL field paste the Composio MCP server URL:

```bash
https://connect.composio.dev/mcp
```

## What is the Commerce Layer MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Commerce Layer MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Commerce Layer account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Commerce Layer operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_CREATE_CUSTOMER` | Create Customer | Create one Commerce Layer customer from an email and optional external-reference metadata. Use a unique email or reference for automation. This mutation is cleanly undoable with DELETE_CUSTOMER using the returned customer ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_DELETE_CUSTOMER` | Delete Customer | Permanently delete one Commerce Layer customer by exact ID. This irreversible operation requires explicit confirmation and is intended only for confirmed cleanup or erasure, never bulk deletion. Never infer or enumerate customer IDs; call GET_CUSTOMER first unless deleting a fixture created in the same workflow. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_CUSTOMER` | Get Customer | Retrieve one customer by its Commerce Layer resource ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_ORDER` | Get Order | Retrieve one Commerce Layer order by ID, optionally including customer, line-item, shipment, or return context. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_GET_ORDER_METRIC` | Get Order Metric | Compute one common order KPI over optional date, market, currency, and status filters using the Commerce Layer Metrics API. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_CUSTOMERS` | List Customers | Return one page of customers, optionally filtered by an exact email address. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_ORDERS` | List Orders | Return one page of orders, newest first by default, for operational review and follow-up by order ID. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_SKUS` | List SKUs | Return one page of catalog SKUs for product discovery and ID lookup. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_LIST_STOCK_ITEMS` | List Stock Items | Return one page of stock items with inventory quantities and SKU codes. |
| `COMMERCE_LAYER_UPDATE_CUSTOMER` | Update Customer | Update selected attributes of one Commerce Layer customer. Only non-null fields supplied by the caller are changed. Inspect the customer first when rollback matters; restoring the captured values reverses this update. |

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Commerce Layer MCP?

With a standalone Commerce Layer MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Commerce Layer tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Commerce Layer and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with ChatGPT Work?

Yes, you can. ChatGPT Work fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Commerce Layer tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Commerce Layer while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Commerce Layer scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Commerce Layer data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
