AI workflows have been part of Altera since the [Altera CLI](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/14497993-how-to-use-the-altera-cli-with-claude-code) opened the app up to Claude Code and other coding agents. The new MCP connector picks up from there - Altera now plugs straight into ChatGPT and Claude.

### What's New

- **Altera in ChatGPT** - install the connector, sign in, and the assistant can drive Altera against the shop you've authorized.
- **And Claude** - same connector URL, available in the Claude desktop app, web app, and Claude Code.
- **Reference and store data on demand** - resources, fields, filters, metafield definitions, markets, locations, and customer segments are all readable from the chat.
- **Documentation search built in** - the assistant can pull up the right Altera doc instead of guessing how a feature works.
- **Imports and exports** - export jobs return a download link; imports prompt for confirmation in the chat before they touch your store.
- **Walkthrough and setup guide** - watch the [5-minute setup video](https://youtu.be/KIzFUReCPjQ), or read the [step-by-step guide](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/14884915-connect-altera-to-claude).
