Overview

Henry ships an open-source skills bundle, Henry-Social/skills, that teaches AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 30+ others) to build with — and shop through — the Henry API. Install it once and your agent knows how to integrate Henry into the app it’s building, without pasting docs into the prompt. The bundle contains two skills:
  • integrate — fires when you ask the agent to add commerce to your app. It teaches @henrylabs/sdk setup, product search, universal carts, hosted vs. headless checkout, async-job polling, webhooks, and go-live steps.
  • shop — a live demo skill: ask for a product and the agent searches real merchants, builds a cart, and hands back a hosted checkout link.

​
Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ with npx on your PATH
  • A Henry API key from the Henry Dashboard — start with a sandbox key
  • HENRY_SDK_API_KEY exported in the shell that launches your agent:

​
Install

Install the full plugin — the two skills plus the Henry MCP server, wired up automatically. Run inside a Claude Code session:
The skills are namespaced under the plugin: /henry:integrate and /henry:shop. Updates ship automatically whenever the plugin repo changes.

​
Use it

Paste a prompt like one of these into your agent:
  • “Help me integrate Henry into my project using the integrate skill.”
  • “Add cross-merchant product search and checkout to my app with Henry.”
  • In Claude Code, try the demo directly: /henry:shop white sneakers under $100
Invoke the integrate skill whenever you’re wiring Henry features — product discovery, carts, checkout, order tracking — into a backend or full-stack app.
Building with an in-browser tool like Lovable or v0? Install the skill in a terminal agent alongside it: the terminal agent handles the Henry API integration while the browser tool manages the UI.
  • MCP Server — the live commerce tools the Claude Code plugin bundles; connect it to any MCP-compatible client.
  • Quickstart — the SDK flow the integrate skill teaches your agent.
