# Slop City > Run a merch or dropship store as a city of AI agents Slop City is a web app that runs a print-on-demand or dropshipping store as a city of AI agents. Tees and other merch (hoodies, mugs, posters, phone cases) are the main example; the Factory makes the product through a print-on-demand partner or sources it from a dropship supplier. Each building is one job: find ideas, design, check IP, make or source, list, ship, count the profit. Writes never publish, order or spend without your approval. ## Use it from an agent - [Agents guide](https://slopship.com/docs/agents): MCP install snippets for Claude Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop, REST API -
