Kaufland MCP Server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Cursor 8 tools for Kaufland: kaufland Marketplace MCP server: Claude & ChatGPT read your Kaufland seller orders, units, shipments, tickets and storefronts. Every tool only reads. It runs on AnythingMCP: one click on AnythingMCP Cloud, or self-hosted with Docker. Credentials are stored encrypted and every call is audited.

Status: not yet verified against a live system. The adapter follows the vendor's API documentation; please report what you find.
Adapter synced: 2026-09-26

Maintained by KOCH Freiburg GmbH, which runs AnythingMCP in production. Built on AnythingMCP by helpcode.ai.

Quick start (AnythingMCP Cloud)

  1. Sign in at cloud.anythingmcp.com and open the install link.

  2. Enter KAUFLAND_CLIENT_KEY, KAUFLAND_SECRET_KEY (see Authentication).

  3. Copy the URL of your MCP server under MCP Servers and add it to your AI client (below).

AnythingMCP Cloud is the same open-source code, operated by helpcode.ai in Frankfurt, Germany.

Related MCP server: WB Readonly MCP

Self-hosted (Docker)

Needs Docker 24+, openssl and Node 18+.

git clone https://github.com/kochfreiburg/kaufland-mcp-server.git
cd kaufland-mcp-server
./scripts/install.sh

install.sh writes .env with fresh secrets, starts AnythingMCP, creates the first admin, installs the connector if KAUFLAND_CLIENT_KEY and KAUFLAND_SECRET_KEY are set in .env and creates an MCP API key. Without credentials it prints the install link instead: http://localhost:3000/connectors/store?install=kaufland. Then check the whole chain:

npm install && node scripts/smoke.mjs

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or Cursor

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, mobile): Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste your MCP server URL and sign in. Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud, so the URL must be public HTTPS: your AnythingMCP Cloud URL, or your own instance behind TLS.

  • Claude Code:

    claude mcp add --transport http kaufland-mcp-server http://localhost:4000/mcp --header "X-API-Key: <MCP_API_KEY>"
  • Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) and VS Code / GitHub Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json, key servers instead of mcpServers, plus "type": "http"):

    { "mcpServers": { "kaufland-mcp-server": { "url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "<MCP_API_KEY>" } } } }
  • ChatGPT: add the public HTTPS URL as a connector (app) in ChatGPT's settings. A localhost URL does not work there.

Tools

read

kaufland_list_order_units

kaufland_list_units

List the seller's units (offers) with their EAN, condition, price, stock and the storefront each is listed on.

read

Example prompts

  • Which Kaufland orders from the last two days have not shipped yet?

  • Show order 123-456 with every order unit and the delivery address.

  • Which order units were cancelled this week, and why?

  • Which customer tickets are still open?

  • Which of my units on kaufland.de are out of stock?

  • What is the price and stock of EAN 4006381333931 on each storefront?

More in examples/prompts.md.

Authentication

Getting credentials

  1. You must already be a Kaufland Marketplace seller. In the Seller Portal open Settings → API keys and create a key pair.

  2. You receive a Client Key (public, identifies you) and a Secret Key (never sent — it signs the request). Set KAUFLAND_CLIENT_KEY and KAUFLAND_SECRET_KEY.

The secret never travels. Kaufland does not accept a bearer token: every request carries Shop-Client-Key, Shop-Timestamp and Shop-Signature, where the signature is an HMAC-SHA256 over the canonical string

<METHOD>\n<FULL URL INCLUDING QUERY>\n<BODY>\n<UNIX TIMESTAMP>\n

keyed with the secret. AnythingMCP computes it per request and sends the timestamp it used, so the server can recompute the same string.

A signature is only valid for a few minutes. Kaufland rejects a request whose timestamp has drifted, which means a 401 here can be a clock problem rather than a key problem. If every call fails and the keys are definitely right, check the host's time.

Storefronts are per country. Kaufland runs de, cz, sk, pl and at storefronts and most endpoints take a storefront parameter. Omitting it gives you the seller's default, which is rarely what a report about one market wants.

Orders page with offset and limit, and ts_created_from / ts_created_to bound the window — both ISO 8601. Ask for the window you mean; the default is short.

Order units are where the money is. An order carries order_units, each with its own status, price and fulfilment state. A part-cancelled order is normal, so a revenue figure should sum the units that were actually fulfilled rather than the order total.

Cloud reachability: sellerapi.kaufland.com is public with a valid certificate.

Security

  • Read or write is your choice. All 8 tools only read. Assign the connector to an MCP server whose role whitelists only the tools you want, and the rest are invisible to that client.

  • Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never shown to the model.

  • Response mapping drops or reshapes fields per tool before they reach the model, e.g. bank details or personal data.

  • Audit log: every call is recorded with input, output, duration and status, in your own database when self-hosted.

  • SSO, RBAC and SCIM are included in the self-hosted build.

FAQ

Is there a Kaufland Marketplace MCP server?

Yes, this one. It connects the Kaufland Marketplace seller API to Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot through AnythingMCP: 8 tools for orders, order units, units (offers), shipments, tickets, storefronts and warehouses.

What do I need to connect it?

A Kaufland seller account and an API key pair from the Seller Portal (Settings → API keys): the Client Key and the Secret Key.

Is the secret key sent anywhere?

No. Kaufland signs every request with HMAC: AnythingMCP sends the Client Key, a timestamp and a signature computed with the Secret Key. The secret itself never leaves your AnythingMCP instance.

Can the AI change orders or prices?

No. All eight tools only read.

Why "order units" and not just orders?

Kaufland fulfils, cancels and pays out per unit, so a partly cancelled order is common. The order-unit tool shows what actually happened to each item.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Fix

401 / 403 from the vendor

The credentials are wrong or lack rights. Re-enter them on the connector page; the import runs a test call and shows the result.

Tools missing in the AI client

The connector is not assigned to the MCP server the client uses. Check MCP Servers, then run node scripts/smoke.mjs.

The host is on your internal network

Self-host AnythingMCP on that network and add the hostname to SSRF_ALLOWED_HOSTS, or the outbound guard blocks the call.

Works locally, fails on AnythingMCP Cloud

The system must be reachable from the internet with a valid TLS certificate.
