# Overview

> Build custom tools, integrations, and workflows on the Supercycle API with AI assistance

Connect the [Builders MCP](/ai/builders-mcp/overview) to your AI tool and build on the Supercycle API. Describe what you want in plain language and your AI uses Supercycle's documentation to build it accurately.

***

## Applications

Use platforms such as [Retool](https://retool.com) and [Lovable](https://lovable.dev), or custom code, to build applications that read and write Supercycle data through the [Admin API](/api-reference/admin/introduction):

* **Operations dashboards.** Cycle performance by SKU, inventory utilization, and revenue breakdowns.
* **Warehouse apps.** Scan-to-receive tools, pick lists, and restocking workflows.
* **Customer-facing apps.** Branded rental experiences, account management, and self-service returns.
* **Admin tools.** Bulk operations, custom reporting, and team-specific views.

***

## Integrations and automations

Connect Supercycle to your existing systems and automate workflows with the [Admin API](/api-reference/admin/introduction) and [Shopify Flow](/documentation/manage/automation/automation):

* **System integrations.** Sync data with your ERP, WMS, or CRM through the Admin API.
* **Workflow automations.** Build triggers and actions in Make, Zapier, or custom scripts.
* **Notifications.** Slack alerts for returns and email reminders for overdue cycles.
* **Data pipelines.** Export cycle, charge, and inventory data to your analytics stack.

## Working with Shopify

Supercycle is built on Shopify, so most projects involve both platforms. You may also need:

* [Shopify developer documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs) for APIs, webhooks, themes, and app development
* [Shopify Dev MCP](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/devmcp) to give your AI tools Shopify's developer docs alongside Supercycle's
* [Customer Account MCP](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/storefront-mcp/servers/customer-account) for customer account data and actions
* [Storefront MCP](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/storefront-mcp/servers/storefront) for storefront data in custom shopping experiences

Connecting the Builders MCP and the Shopify Dev MCP gives your AI tool the whole Supercycle and Shopify stack.
