Read https://lotsstore.app/skill.md and help me connect LotsStore for you.What Codex can do with LotsStore
Once connected, Codex can:
- Add and update products, variants, prices, categories and collections. New products start as drafts.
- Check and set stock for each variant.
- See new orders, accept or reject them, and mark them processing, shipped or delivered.
- Create and manage discount codes.
- Read your sales: revenue, orders, average order value and where visitors drop off.
- Look up customers, and moderate and reply to product reviews.
- Publish your storefront once you approve its address.
The LotsStore dashboard does the whole job on its own too: products, stock, orders, customers, discounts, payments and your storefront. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.
You need
- Codex CLI, the Codex app or the IDE extension
- A LotsStore account. You can create one during sign-in.

Codex and LotsStore: questions
How do I connect Codex to LotsStore?
Follow the Codex setup above to add https://api.lotsstore.app/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my stores in LotsStore”.
Does LotsStore work in the Codex app and the IDE extension?
Yes. Add it under Settings, then MCP servers: select Add server, choose Streamable HTTP, paste https://api.lotsstore.app/mcp, save and select Authenticate.
Do I need an API key to use LotsStore with Codex?
No. Codex signs in to LotsStore in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.
What does LotsStore cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lotsstore.app/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my agent take payments or move money?
No. Shoppers pay straight into your own Stripe or Razorpay account, by UPI to your UPI ID, or by ordering on WhatsApp, and LotsStore never holds the money. Your agent never asks for card details or payment keys: you connect Stripe or Razorpay yourself.
Can my agent delete my products or my store?
Your agent can delete a product or a category when you ask it to, and that cannot be undone, so it should confirm with you first. It cannot delete a store. The owner can archive one, which takes the storefront offline and stops billing for it, and restore it within 30 days.
Where do I see what my agent changed?
Everything your agent does shows up in your LotsStore dashboard. You approve the connection when you sign in, and you can disconnect it at any time from connected apps.
