Backlane
Let your AI assistant run your OTTO Market, Kaufland and Mirakl accounts.
Backlane is a remote MCP server. Connect your marketplace accounts once in the Backlane app, add one URL to your AI client, and ask about orders, offers, prices and inventory in plain language.
This repo holds the agent side: setup guides, skills and plugin manifests.
Quick start
MCP server URL:
https://app.getbacklane.com/mcp
Claude Code (plugin with skills):
/plugin marketplace add pschlieker/getbacklane
/plugin install backlane@backlane
Other clients: see docs/setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code.
Then ask:
"Is Backlane working? Which marketplaces are connected?"
