Connect Gro to Claude
Gro ships an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect it to Claude and you can ask questions about your store, look up a customer, pause or reschedule a subscription, and draft email templates, all from a chat.
Everything runs against your own Gro account with your own login. Nothing is shared between stores.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”Some things merchants ask Claude once Gro is connected:
- “How are subscriptions doing this month? How many are active, new and churned?”
- “Find the subscription for jane@example.com and tell me when her next delivery is.”
- “Why are people cancelling? Show me the top reasons for the last 90 days.”
- “Move Jane’s next delivery to next Thursday morning.”
- “Skip Sam’s next box, he is away for two weeks.”
- “How did the Spring Sale campaign do? Opens, clicks and revenue.”
- “Draft a win back email in our brand style using our three best sellers.”
- “Send me a portal login link for order 1042’s customer.”
Claude will confirm with you before it does anything that changes a subscription or moves money, such as cancelling, pausing or applying a discount.

Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”When you connect, Gro asks Claude for one of two levels of access:
| Scope | What it allows |
|---|---|
gro:read | Look things up. Subscriptions, customers, campaigns, segments, stats, templates and settings. |
gro:write | Make changes. Pause, resume, skip, reschedule and cancel subscriptions, edit customers, create templates and schedule campaigns. |
If you connect with read access only, Claude can answer questions but every tool that changes something is refused.
Every action Claude takes is recorded in the Gro activity log under your name, the same as if you had done it in the dashboard.
Disconnect
Section titled “Disconnect”Remove the connector in Claude under Settings then Connectors. Gro stops accepting requests from that connection straight away.
