We used to offer the Linnworks MCP in two flavours — £49/month hosted and £99 source code. We've retired the hosted plan and now sell only the source: a one-off £249 download you deploy to your own Cloudflare account. Here's why we changed, and how to decide whether this is for you.
The 30-second answer
The £249 source download is for developers, dev shops, agencies and in-house engineering teams that want to own the data path end to end. If you're a non-technical Linnworks operator who just wants AI on top of your data, you want one of our apps — Trade Order POS or B2B Price Tiers — both of which include the AI connection out of the box, no deploy required.
What you get for £249, one-off
- Full TypeScript source for the Linnworks MCP Cloudflare Worker.
- Wrangler config, deploy script, working
wrangler.toml. - The right to deploy unlimited copies to your own Cloudflare account — and your clients' accounts if you're a dev shop.
- 12 months of free updates as portal re-downloads.
- The same code we run in production at
linnworks-mcp.michael-669.workers.dev.
You handle: Cloudflare account, Workers free tier (covers ~100k requests/day per Worker), Wrangler CLI, your own Linnworks Application registration, updates when we ship them (re-download + re-deploy, ~5 minutes).
Why we retired the £49/month hosted plan
Two reasons. First, we found the people who genuinely wanted the connector were almost all comfortable with Cloudflare Workers — once they had the source, they could keep deploying it for any number of clients without ever coming back to us. Charging them £49/month for hosting they could do themselves felt wrong.
Second, the non-technical buyers who needed something to "just work" were better served by our finished apps — Trade Order POS and B2B Price Tiers — which already contain the AI integration and don't require any deploy at all. The hosted MCP turned out to be a middle ground that satisfied nobody.
Who should buy the source today
- Dev shops building Linnworks integrations for clients — drop it in, customise per client, bill ongoing.
- Freelance Linnworks consultants offering "AI for your Linnworks data" as a service line — hosted on your own Cloudflare account.
- In-house engineering teams that want their own deployment with no third-party data hop.
- Anyone customising the tool set — adding write operations, custom search filters, white-labelled MCP endpoints for their own product.
What we recommend for everyone else
If you're a Linnworks operator who heard about MCP and wants to try AI on your data, don't buy the source. Try one of our apps instead:
- Trade Order POS — lightning-fast B2B order entry, with AI built in. £29/month Solo or £79/month Team, 14-day free trial.
- B2B Price Tiers — wholesale pricing engine that feeds the POS. £29/month, 14-day free trial.
Both already use the Linnworks MCP under the hood. You get the same intelligence, you don't have to deploy anything.
