Overview

The Limio MCP Server connects AI assistants like Claude to your Limio environment. Instead of navigating the admin dashboard, you can ask questions and give instructions in plain language.

Examples of what you can do:

• "Show me all our published student offers"

• "Create a monthly digital subscription at $9.99"

• "Update the price on our annual plan to $129.99"

• "Where is the Black Friday offer shown?"

• "How many orders came through our student offers this month?"

The server uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI tools talk to external services securely. Your existing Limio credentials handle authentication — no separate account needed. Claude Desktop connects via custom connectors; Claude Code connects via the MCP CLI.

How it works

You connect the MCP server to an AI assistant (like Claude Desktop or Claude Code). When you ask the assistant something about your Limio environment, it calls the server on your behalf, using your credentials. The assistant then returns the results in a readable format.

You stay in control. The assistant asks for your approval before taking any action that modifies data.

Security and data privacy

The MCP server is designed with data isolation and customer control in mind:

• Bring your own AI key. The MCP server does not include an AI subscription. You use your own Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini account. Your contractual relationship with the AI provider is between you and that provider — Limio is not a party to it.

• No PII exposed. Order queries use a limited index database, not the primary data store. The data available through MCP includes offer details, order numbers, dates, and aggregate counts — but no customer personal information.

• Authenticated access only. Only users with valid Limio credentials can connect. The server uses your existing Limio login — the same credentials you use to access the Limio app.

Permissions and governance

The MCP server provides several layers of control over what actions can be taken:

• Connector-level tool restrictions. In Claude Desktop, you can configure your connector to expose only read-only tools (retrieve offers, query orders) or include write tools (create, update). This lets you control what the AI assistant is allowed to do at the connection level.

  
• Plan mode. Claude Desktop and Claude Code support plan mode, where the assistant shows you exactly what it intends to do before executing. This is useful for bulk operations -- -you can review the full list of changes and approve, reject them, or ask for changes.

• Environment separation. Set up separate connectors for each environment (sandbox, pre-production, production). This prevents accidental changes to the wrong environment and lets you test workflows safely before applying them to production.

Current limitation: The MCP server does not currently enforce Limio app-level permissions. Any authenticated user with MCP access can use all enabled tools, regardless of their role within the Limio app. We recommend using connector-level tool restrictions and environment separation to manage access.
