skube is a connector now. That is a sentence about plumbing, so here is what it means for you: there is nothing to install, and skube is no longer tied to one assistant. Connect it once and your marketplaces are in the chat you already have open: Claude today, with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini coming.
For most of skube's life you had to bring a particular setup to it: get the right app, add skube to it, then start working. It worked. But it put a setup step between a seller and the only thing they actually wanted, which was to stop opening thirteen portals a day.
What changed
skube connects over MCP, the open standard for AI tools. One connection, made once, living on your account rather than in a single chat. Three things follow from that, and they are the whole point:
- Nothing to install. No download, no file to copy, nothing to keep updated.
- Not tied to one assistant. skube speaks MCP, the open standard: Claude today, with ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini coming. The same skube, the same connected channels, the same work.
- Every chat, not just the one you set it up in. The connection sits on your account, so a brand-new chat already has it.
What a working day looks like
The work itself did not change, because the work was always the point. You drop a supplier export (spring-catalog.xlsx, messy headers and all) straight into the chat and say what you want done with it:
skube reads the rows, maps them onto each marketplace's own categories and required fields, and tells you where it is unsure before it does anything. Then it stages the batch and stops.
Nothing goes live until you say so. skube stages the whole batch and waits for one approval.
That is not a setting you have to go and find. Staging is the default and publishing is the exception you authorise. That is also why you can hand skube a batch you are only half sure about and still sleep.
Thirteen marketplaces, one conversation
Today that means Amazon, eBay, Otto, Kaufland, Metro, ManoMano, Cdiscount, OnBuy, AboutYou, and the Mirakl storefronts Decathlon, Voelkner, MediaMarktSaturn and Leroy Merlin. Thirteen channels, one conversation, instructions in plain words instead of thirteen upload templates you half-remember.
Adding a channel does not add an app or a browser tab. It adds a name you can say out loud.
Your keys never go into the chat
Something that can create listings and move prices holds credentials worth being exact about. Marketplace keys are encrypted at rest in skube's vault. They do not pass through your machine, and they are never put in front of the model: the assistant asks skube to do something, and skube does it with credentials the assistant never sees. Your buyer data is passed through to you rather than parked with us.
A marketplace credential can be withdrawn in that marketplace's own settings, and the skube connection can be removed in your assistant's settings, at any time, without going through us.
If you already set skube up the old way
Nothing you have stops working, and there is no date by which you must move. The connection is the way in from here (it is what we build against and what new sellers get), while existing setups keep running and move over in stages.
If you have not tried it yet: sign-up is closed for now, so the way in is the waitlist. The free plan includes one live marketplace connection, which is enough to find out whether talking to your marketplace business beats clicking through it. Join the waitlist, or look at what the plans cost first.
