Shopify MCP: Let Claude Manage Your Store Like a Command Line

Managing a Shopify store through an AI agent just became possible. Shopify MCP is the official Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents direct access to your store's Admin API—letting you automate inventory, orders, customers, and pricing through natural language commands.

What It Does

Shopify MCP bridges the gap between AI agents and your Shopify backend. Instead of toggling between dashboards and spreadsheets, you can ask Claude to fetch order data, update product prices, manage inventory, or process refunds—all in conversation.

The server unlocks granular control: create and update products with variants, process orders (fulfill, refund, cancel), access customer profiles and purchase history, manage collections, update theme content, run direct GraphQL queries, handle promotions, and pull analytics. It works across all Shopify plans and uses the Admin API with scoped permissions, so you control exactly what your AI agent can touch.

Think of it as a programmatic storefront manager. No APIs to debug. No boilerplate. Just natural language.

How to Install

Install globally via npm:

npx -y @shopify/mcp
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then configure in your Claude Desktop config file (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-mcp": {
      "command": "npx -y @shopify/mcp",
      "env": {
        "SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_admin_api_token",
        "SHOPIFY_SHOP_URL": "https://your-store.myshopify.com"
      }
    }
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Get your access token from the Shopify Admin → Apps and integrations → Develop apps → Custom apps.
