Altera's MCP connector can now move media off your computer and into Shopify in the same chat where you're managing imports. Tools like Claude Cowork can pick up a folder of product photos, hand them to Altera, and attach them to the right products in one pass.

### What's New

- **Upload images, videos, 3D models, and PDFs** - the new `request_media_upload_url` tool provides a secure URL for each file.
- **Designed for media-heavy imports** - pair it with a product or files import to attach freshly uploaded media to the right resource in the same workflow.
- **Works with Claude Cowork** - point Cowork at a folder on your computer and let it stage each file before the import runs, no manual uploading.
