AI workflows have been part of Altera since the Altera CLI 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, or read the step-by-step guide.
