MCP tools and example prompts

What each MCP tool does and how to ask for it in plain language.

Once connected (setup guide), your AI client can call these tools. Read tools work in either mode; write tools need Read + write mode and an edit_pages user.

Read tools

  • get_status — connection state and granted permissions. “Are you connected to my ProductReview site, and what can you do?”
  • list_boxes — saved box presets with shortcodes. “List my product-box presets.”
  • get_box — one box’s settings + shortcode. “Show the settings for my ‘review-card’ box.”
  • search_products — search Amazon by keyword. “Find the top wireless earbuds on Amazon.”
  • list_products — products already cached. “What products are cached on my site?”
  • get_analytics — views/clicks/CTR. “Which boxes have the best click-through this month?”

Write tools (Read + write mode)

  • create_box — create a new box preset. “Create a compact box preset with a green button called ‘deal-card’.”
  • update_box — change an existing box. “Make the ‘review-card’ button say ‘Check today’s price’.”
  • generate_shortcode — build a paste-ready shortcode for an ASIN + preset. “Give me the shortcode for B08N5WRWNW using ‘review-card’.”
  • set_manual_rating — set a product’s star rating. “Set B08N5WRWNW to 4.6 stars.”
  • set_product_label — set a badge/label on a product. “Label B08N5WRWNW as ‘Editor’s choice’.”
There are deliberately no delete or publish tools. The assistant can prepare content and shortcodes; you decide what goes live.

A worked example

“Search Amazon for ‘standing desk’, pick the three best-rated, create a comparison-friendly box preset called ‘desk-compare’, and give me the comparison shortcode.”

The client chains search_productscreate_boxgenerate_shortcode and hands you a shortcode to paste.
