Fully supported

Yes, you can connect Claude to an FTP or SFTP server with MESA. When a new row appears in a CSV on the server, Claude writes a product title and description from the row's specs, and MESA saves the copy to an output CSV or creates a draft product in Shopify. MESA can also fetch whole CSV, XML or other files on a schedule.

Why integrate Claude with FTP

The Claude to FTP integration helps you sync data, automate manual tasks, and keep your stack aligned — without writing code.

AI powered automation icon

AI powered automation →

Generate product content from your Shopify catalog automatically

When a product is created or updated in Shopify, MESA passes the details to Claude and writes a ready-to-use description, title, or meta tag. Your catalog stays populated with quality content without a writer producing every piece from scratch.

Summarize customer and order context before your team responds

When a customer reaches out, places a high-value order, or shows a churn signal, MESA passes the relevant order and customer data to Claude and delivers a plain-English summary to your team through Slack or your support tool. Your team acts on context, not raw data.

Classify and route orders using AI judgment

When an order arrives with ambiguous or complex details (a custom request, an unusual product combination, an edge case your rules don't cover), MESA passes it to Claude to classify and determine the right workflow. Your order routing handles the unexpected without a rule for every scenario.

Receive inventory updates from your supplier

When a supplier drops a CSV on your FTP server, MESA picks it up on schedule and updates product inventory in your store automatically. Stock levels stay accurate without manual imports or copy-paste.

Send order files to your fulfillment partner

After orders are placed, MESA generates a formatted CSV and uploads it to your 3PL's FTP server. Your fulfillment partner has what they need without manual exports or email attachments.

Sync product catalog updates from a supplier feed

MESA reads your supplier's product file on a schedule and maps the data to your store's product format. New SKUs, updated prices, and changed descriptions land in your store without manual intervention.

Claude and FTP FAQs

Can Claude read files on an FTP server?

Not by itself, but MESA can fetch the file and hand it to Claude. MESA's FTP triggers fetch a CSV, XML or other file on a schedule, or run once for each new CSV row, and the contents go to Claude's Create Message step. MESA supports FTP and SFTP with a password login; SSH keys aren't supported.

Can Claude write product descriptions from a supplier CSV?

Yes. For each new row, Claude writes a title and description from the supplier's specs, materials and dimensions, and MESA writes them to an output CSV on the server, updating the row when the SKU is already there. Start from the supplier feed description template.

Can new supplier products go straight into Shopify?

Yes, as drafts. The workflow checks whether Shopify already sells the row's SKU, skips it if so, and otherwise creates a draft product with Claude's title and description so your team can review it before publishing. Use the supplier CSV to Shopify drafts template.

How do I stop Claude from inventing product specs?

Send Claude only the row's columns and tell it to use no facts that aren't in them, then review the output before it goes live. Writing to a CSV or to draft products, as both templates do, keeps a person between Claude and your storefront.
