Ask like you'd ask a teammate

No commands to learn. Ask about your orders, products and costs in your own words, and your assistant handles the Dreamship side.

  • “Where's order #48213?”
  • “Which of my orders are still in production?”
  • “What does a Comfort Colors 1717 cost me on Plus?”
  • “Estimate shipping for 50 mugs to Canada”
  • “Put this logo on a hoodie and publish it to Shopify”
  • “Turn my dog tee into a holiday ornament”
  • “Which hoodies come in forest green?”
  • “Draft an order for 20 tees to our office”
  • “Export last month's orders”
  • “Make a tote bag version of my last product”
  • “Set up AI Personalization on my pet ornament”
  • “Is the Unisex Standard T-Shirt in stock in navy?”

What the Dreamship connector can do

Your print on demand orders, products and costs, one message away.

Design it, mock it up, publish it

Share artwork as a link or upload it in the chat. Dreamship builds the product with mockups and a suggested retail price. When you say so, your assistant publishes it to Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, TikTok Shop or Walmart.

Make these into a tote, a tumbler and a tee, then publish them to my Etsy shop.

  • Nothing charged or deleted

    The Dreamship connector can't charge your account, take a product off your store, or delete anything.

  • Your login stays private

    You sign in on Dreamship and approve access on our consent page. Your assistant never sees your password.

  • Disconnect anytime

    Turn it off under Connected Assistants in your Dreamship account settings. A connection unused for 60 days ends on its own.

Dreamship MCP connector FAQ

What is the Dreamship MCP connector?

The Dreamship MCP connector is Dreamship's own MCP server for print on demand. The connector links AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude to your Dreamship account. Once connected, you can track orders, check costs, make and publish products, and draft orders just by asking. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to other apps.

How do I add Dreamship to ChatGPT?

Open the Dreamship plugin in ChatGPT's plugin directory and click Connect, then sign in with your Dreamship login. Dreamship is listed in the directory, so there's no server URL to copy.

Is Dreamship a ChatGPT plugin or a Claude connector?

Both. Dreamship runs one MCP server, and each AI assistant adds it in its own way: ChatGPT as a plugin from its plugin directory, Claude as a connector, Gemini as a custom app, and Grok and Perplexity as connectors. You sign in with the same Dreamship login in each.

Which AI assistants work with the Dreamship connector?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity all work with the Dreamship connector. Claude works on the web and in its desktop and mobile apps. The coding agents Claude Code and Codex work too. Some assistants need a particular plan, as noted in the setup section above.

What is the Dreamship MCP server URL?

The Dreamship MCP server URL is https://mcp.dreamship.com/mcp. ChatGPT doesn't need it: open the Dreamship plugin in ChatGPT's plugin directory instead. In Claude, add the URL as a custom connector, or in Gemini, Grok and Perplexity as a custom app or connector, then sign in with your Dreamship account. There's no API key to copy.

Is the Dreamship connector free?

Yes, the Dreamship connector is free on every Dreamship plan, including the free Basic plan. You pay only for the orders you submit, as always. The AI Upscale fee of $0.20 per upscaled print area is added only to orders that use it.

Which stores can the Dreamship connector publish to?

The Dreamship connector publishes to Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, TikTok Shop and Walmart, and only when you ask. It can't publish to Amazon or eBay. Each marketplace listing takes up to 100 variants, and AI personalized products publish to Etsy only.

Can the Dreamship connector place orders or spend money?

No, the Dreamship connector only creates draft orders, which you review, submit and pay for on Dreamship. It can't submit, change or cancel an order, charge your account, or delete anything.

Is my Dreamship account safe with an AI assistant?

Your AI assistant never sees your Dreamship password. You sign in with OAuth on Dreamship's own page and approve access on our consent page. Every request is checked against your login and your role. You can disconnect at any time under Connected Assistants in your account settings.

Who on my team can use the Dreamship connector?

Any admin or team member can connect with their own Dreamship login. Team members can't see billing or business settings through the connector. Admins can see and disconnect everyone's connections under Connected Assistants.
