backlane
Backlane is a hosted MCP server from shopvibes that connects seller accounts on OTTO Market, Kaufland and Mirakl marketplaces to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, so you can check launches, product data, stock and ads in chat.
Why it matters
For marketplace sellers who jump between OTTO, Kaufland or Mirakl portals and an AI chat to check listings and ads. It puts those seller APIs behind one MCP connection with optional customer-data anonymization.
Highlights
- Hosted remote MCP with OAuth at app.getbacklane.com/mcp; listed as a Claude directory community connector by shopvibes, with setup for ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code.
- First marketplaces are OTTO Market, Kaufland and Mirakl-based shops; Amazon is listed as coming soon.
- Optional organisation-wide anonymization replaces recognised customer fields before marketplace responses reach the AI; credentials stay encrypted and are not passed to the model.
- Admins can disable write access for the whole organisation; write actions are logged.
- Open beta: all available features are free for a limited time; AI and marketplace account costs are separate.
Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.
Worth knowing: Amazon is not available yet. Write tools can change marketplace data unless write access is disabled. Docs checked 2 Nov 2026 for Claude directory steps; menus can change.
