Your GoodBarber app is now in the Claude connectors directory

Until now, connecting Claude to your app meant knowing a URL and finding where to paste it. Not that simple when Claude's interface keeps evolving with each new release. Now you type GoodBarber in the directory, and one click does the rest.

Picture a Sunday evening. Your shop's app has been live for a year, orders come in every day, and for weeks you have been telling yourself you should try the thing everyone is talking about: running the app by chatting with Claude. You open claude.ai, and you stop. Where do you start? How do you add a custom connector? You see a field waiting for a URL you do not have and... you close the tab. On Monday, you go back to managing your shop from the back office and the Shop Companion app, as usual.

Good news: connecting Claude to your GoodBarber app just got a lot simpler.

GoodBarber in the Claude connectors directory

GoodBarber is listed in the Claude connectors directory. Search for "GoodBarber", click "Connect to Claude", sign in. The GoodBarber authorization page opens, you paste the Public API token created in your back office (Settings > Other settings > MCP Server & Public APIs), and Claude is connected to your app. That connection works on the web, in the desktop app and on your phone.

An address is something you copy. A name is something you remember. And GoodBarber is an easy one to remember :)

It is not even a first. Since August, the official GoodBarber plugin has been in the ChatGPT plugin directory: you find it by name, no Developer mode needed, and a free ChatGPT account is enough. Codex, OpenAI's coding app, connects to the same server with a single command, as the ChatGPT and Codex guide explains.

Back to Sunday evening. As I write this, your MCP server offers 150 tools you can use on your app. Once connected, you ask Claude: "Which products did I sell the most last week?" Claude reads the stats and answers. Read tools are picked and run without asking anything more. The answer shows that your "Slim fit viscose shirt" sells well in red, but not in blue. You decide to lower its price to boost sales. You tell Claude: "Set the blue one to 29." This time Claude stops, restates your instruction and asks you to confirm. Why? Simply because every tool that creates, changes or deletes something in your back office is flagged as such, so the question comes before the action, not after. You confirm. The price changes in the live app, and Claude reads it back to you. Three sentences, no settings menu, and your evening is still yours.

What doesn't change

If you are already connected from Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, n8n or Zapier, there is nothing to redo. The endpoint is the same, https://mcp.goodbarber.dev/mcp/sse, the tools are the same, and the manual route described in the MCP guide still works for every client without a directory. Your token still comes from your back office; revoke it and the connection stops, whichever client is using it. And the 44 open-source skills (as of this writing) keep assembling those same tools into complete workflows.

FAQ

What is the Claude connectors directory?

A catalogue of MCP servers Claude can connect to, shared by claude.ai, the desktop app and the mobile app. Being listed means a user finds GoodBarber by name and adds it from the page, without the URL and without the custom connector form.

What can Claude do once connected?

Shop: products, variants, collections, promo codes, orders. Content: articles, events, places, media. Push notifications, customers and members, analytics. Read tools answer directly; tools that write ask first. Not all MCP servers expose the same thing: this one exposes your app's operations, never its database.

Do I still need the Public API token?

Yes. It is generated in the back office (Settings > Other settings > MCP Server & Public APIs), and it is what ties the connection to your app and to the rights you chose. The directory removes the URL step, not the key.

Next Sunday

Connection hassle is no longer the reason to hold off on running your app with Claude. The listing is here: connect, and start with the question you would have asked a colleague on Monday morning.

Your Meta real estate catalog now shows up in your agency's app

The short version. Meta catalog, map and Meta catalog, listings are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read an agency's "Home listings" catalog, the XML feed it gives Meta for its real estate ads. Meta catalog, map fills a Map section: each property with a known position becomes a pin with its own page, sorted by distance when the app knows where the user is. Meta catalog, listings fills an Article section with the same properties, newest first. You connect them with the link to your catalog feed. Both are free for Content apps.Agencies build this catalog to reach buyers and tenants where they spend their time. Meta's apps were used by 3.60 billion people a day on average in June 2026, up 3% in a year, according to Meta's second quarter 2026 results published on July 29, 2026. Here is how the two extensions play out for an agency in Hamburg.

Your Givebutter events and campaigns now show up in your app

The short version. Givebutter Events and Givebutter Campaigns are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read a nonprofit's campaigns on Givebutter. Givebutter Events fills a Calendar section with upcoming events, at their time in the event's time zone, with their location unless you share it with attendees only. Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter. On Giving Tuesday 2025, supporters gave $20 million on the platform, up from $16.4 million in 2024, from more than 93,000 donors across 16,000 active campaigns, according to Givebutter's recap published on December 8, 2025. Here is how the two extensions play out for an animal rescue.
