You have a room full of things you have been meaning to sell, and you have Claude open in another tab. Those two facts are more connected than they were six months ago.

This is the practical version of that. What to click, what happens next, and where it stops.

Setting it up

ClearList runs a remote MCP server at https://clearlist.me/api/mcp. In Claude, you add that URL as a connector in settings, and the tools show up in your next conversation.

That is the whole setup. This post is about using it in the Claude app, which is what most people want. If you live in a terminal and would rather point something at a folder of photos and walk away, that is a different workflow and it has its own post.

What signing in actually looks like

Claude runs a standard OAuth flow when you add the connector. You get a consent screen, and if you are not signed in already, a login first.

That login is passwordless. You put in your email, ClearList sends a 6-digit code, you type it in. No password to invent, no settings page, no API key to copy and paste somewhere with a warning label about keeping it secret.

What you never do is the thing most "works with AI agents" products still require: go to the website, make an account, find the developer tab, generate a key, come back and paste it. That is us doing the tedious part and then letting the robot do the typing.

What the conversation actually looks like

Twenty-four tools sit behind the connector, though you will never think about them as tools. Two handle signing up. Nineteen are the seller actions. Three are stubs for a search feature that does not exist yet, and they say so when called, because a tool that quietly does nothing is worse than one that admits it.

In practice it goes like this.

You send photos. Claude comes back with titles, descriptions, prices, dimensions, weight, condition, and whether each thing needs a truck to move. You say "the dresser is more like $80, and the lamp is not for sale." Both get fixed. You say "publish it," and you get a link.

Buyers land on that link and reserve things. A maximum of three people can queue for any single item, so you are not fielding fifteen messages about one bookshelf. Buyers verify an email and nothing else. No account, no app download, no "is this still available."

Then you can ask Claude who is waiting on what, and reply to them, without opening anything.

Where it earns its keep

For three items, honestly, it does not. Open the website, spend four minutes, done.

The chat version starts winning somewhere around item eight. Past thirty or so, uploading photos a handful at a time becomes its own chore, and at that point you want the folder workflow instead.

It is worth being precise about why chat is better in its range, because it is not that the AI is smarter in a chat window. It is the same engine either way. It wins because you never leave the place you were already working, and because "make all the kitchen stuff free, I just want it gone" is a sentence that does something.

Same product. It just meets us where we already are.

The one thing it will not do

There is no tool for sharing your address. Not a restricted one, not one behind a confirmation prompt. It does not exist, and no API route reaches it with agent credentials.

This was deliberate, and it is the decision I am most sure about in the whole product.

The threat model is not hypothetical. Someone who wants to find a person can look at a photo of a living room, recognize the couch, and message the seller as an interested buyer. It looks exactly like a sale right up until it is not. All of the caution in that moment belongs to whoever lives there.

A confirmation dialog does not fix it. If an agent can be talked into revealing an address, then somewhere out there is a phrasing that talks it into revealing an address. The only version of that feature I trust is the one that is not built.

So address sharing stays in the app, done by you, when you have decided you want to. Claude can do nearly everything else in your sale. It cannot tell anyone where you live.

What to try first

Take one photo of one thing you have been meaning to sell for six months. Send it to Claude. See what comes back.

If the price looks wrong, argue with it. It will adjust, and watching it adjust will tell you more about whether you trust the thing than any guide I could write.

That room full of stuff in the other tab is still there. This just moves it out in an afternoon instead of a series of weekends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Claude actually list my items for sale?

Yes, once you add ClearList as a connector. Claude can take your photos, write the title and description, set a price, estimate dimensions and weight, and publish everything to one shareable sale page. It can also read your buyer reservations and reply to buyers for you. What it cannot do is give anyone your home address.

How do I connect ClearList to Claude?

ClearList runs a remote MCP server at https://clearlist.me/api/mcp. Add that URL as a connector in Claude's settings, and the tools appear in your next conversation. Claude will run an OAuth consent flow the first time, plus a passwordless login if you are signed out.

How many items can I list in one Claude conversation?

Chat works well up to roughly thirty items. Past that, uploading photos a handful of messages at a time becomes its own chore, and you are better off running ClearList through Claude Code or Cowork, where you point it at a folder of photos and it works through the whole batch unattended.

What if Claude gets a price wrong?

Say so and it changes. The listings are a draft until you publish, so "the dresser is more like $80" or "the lamp is not for sale" both work as plain sentences. Arguing with the first estimate is the fastest way to find out whether you trust it, and it is worth doing on one item before you publish thirty.

Can Claude reply to my buyers?

Yes. It can read who has reserved what, see their messages, and send replies, so you can handle the whole back and forth without opening the app. Buyers queue up to three deep per item, so you are not fielding fifteen messages about one bookshelf either.

Can Claude tell a buyer where I live?

No. There is no tool for it and no API path that reaches it with agent credentials. Address sharing happens only in the app, by you, on purpose. An automated system should not be able to tell a stranger where your furniture is.
