UK premium retail and lifestyle launches

Sign in
VIP Life Retail

Quick start

Connect an AI assistant to VIP Life Retail with one URL, or call the REST API from your code.

MCP server URL: https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

  1. Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose to add a custom connector.
  2. Name it VIP Life Retail and paste https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp as the URL.
  3. Ask Claude to search VIP Life Retail. The first time it needs your account, Claude opens a sign-in page here; choose Allow access.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http vipliferetail https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code to sign in when a tool asks for your account.

ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT settings, open Connectors (developer mode may need to be switched on for custom connectors).
  2. Create a connector with the URL https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp and OAuth sign-in.
  3. Use it in a chat; ChatGPT sends you here to allow access the first time.

Cursor

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vipliferetail": {
      "url": "https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace, then start the server from the MCP view:

{
  "servers": {
    "vipliferetail": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client

Use the Streamable HTTP transport with https://vipliferetail.co.uk/mcp. Protocol versions 2026-07-28 and the earlier initialize-based versions (2025-03-26 to 2025-11-25) are supported. Sign-in follows the MCP authorization spec: protected resource metadata at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp, OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, client ID metadata documents or dynamic registration. Test it with the official MCP Inspector: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector.

export API_KEY=lk_...
curl -X POST "https://vipliferetail.co.uk/api/v1/drafts" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

Python

import os, time, requests

API = "https://vipliferetail.co.uk/api/v1"
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['API_KEY']}"}

draft = requests.post(f"{API}/drafts", json={"url": "https://example.com"}, headers=H).json()
while draft["status"] in ("crawling", "drafting"):
    time.sleep(4)
    draft = requests.get(f"{API}/drafts/{draft['id']}", headers=H).json()
listing = requests.post(f"{API}/drafts/{draft['id']}/submit", headers=H).json()
order = requests.post(f"{API}/orders/checkout", headers={**H, "Idempotency-Key": "my-first-launch"},
                      json={"items": [{"product": "launch", "listing_id": listing["listing_id"]}]}).json()
print("Pay here:", order["checkout_url"])
