🤖Mechanic GPT
A custom GPT for getting help with Mechanic within ChatGPT. This GPT has access to the full Mechanic documentation as a knowledge base, and can answer general questions about the platform, help you understand concepts, and write or debug task code.
Best for
General Mechanic questions — understand how events, actions, Liquid, and the platform work
ChatGPT users — get help with Mechanic without switching to a coding tool
Exploring what's possible — describe what you want to automate and get guidance or working task code
How to use
Open the Mechanic GPT in ChatGPT:
A ChatGPT account is required (free or paid). You can bookmark this link or share it with your team.
What it can help with
"How does Mechanic's event system work?"
"What action types are available?"
"Write a task that auto-tags orders using a specific discount code"
"I need a scheduled task that emails me a CSV of unfulfilled orders every morning"
"Debug this task — it's not tagging customers correctly"
"How do I set up a two-pass workflow?"
"What integrations does Mechanic support?"
Knowledge base
The GPT includes Mechanic's documentation as uploaded knowledge files, organized by topic. These cover the full platform — events, tasks, actions, runs, Shopify integration, Liquid reference, platform features, integrations, techniques, tutorials, FAQ, and more.
The GPT uses these files to ground its answers in accurate, current Mechanic documentation.
Limitations
No live task library access. The GPT doesn't search tasks.mechanic.dev in real time. For task discovery and reference-based code generation, use the MCP server with an AI coding tool.
For the best results with complex tasks, use MCP + Agent Skills. The MCP server provides research and reference, and Agent Skills provide the patterns for writing code — together they produce more reliable results for complex tasks.
