How to use Walmart with Claude Code
You want Walmart inside Claude Code so it can find products that match a request, compare products before buying, research a specific product, and build a shortlist within a budget — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Walmart gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Walmart tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Walmart tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Walmart tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-
Try it out
Open Claude Code in your project and ask it to use one of your Walmart tools.

Use a shared Walmart credential for read-only product searches and details, with no purchasing action exposed to the agent. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so the agent can inspect products without access beyond those allowed actions.
