Connect the Shopify MCP server

Claude (Desktop / Code)

  1. 1

    Install the Shopify MCP server

    Run npx @shopify/dev-mcp@latest to install and start the official Shopify MCP server locally.

  2. 2

    Add to your MCP config

    In Claude Desktop, open claude_desktop_config.json and add a Shopify entry under mcpServers with command 'npx' and args ['@shopify/dev-mcp@latest'].

  3. 3

    Restart and verify

    Restart Claude. The Shopify tools (documentation search, Admin API introspection) should appear and be callable in chat.

Uses the official Shopify Dev MCP server. For store management operations, you can also use community servers that connect to the Shopify Admin API.

Cursor

  1. 1

    Edit your Cursor MCP config

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project) and add a Shopify server with command 'npx' and args ['@shopify/dev-mcp@latest'].

  2. 2

    Reload Cursor

    Restart or reload Cursor, then confirm the Shopify MCP server shows as connected in Settings → MCP.

Same setup as Claude — uses the official npx package.

Using Shopify MCP with Gamut

In a Gamut workflow, a scheduled or event-triggered agent can use the Shopify MCP server to automate store operations — syncing inventory across channels, updating product listings, processing order data, or generating reports. Gamut manages the connection, and each action uses your store's API scopes. For example, a daily agent could check for low-stock items, update quantities from your supplier feed, and post a summary to Slack.

Frequently asked questions

What can an agent do with the Shopify MCP server?

The official Shopify Dev MCP server gives agents access to Shopify developer documentation, GraphQL Admin API schema introspection, and Liquid template validation. For full store management (products, orders, customers, inventory), community Admin API servers connect directly to your store via OAuth.

Is the Shopify MCP server official?

Yes. @shopify/dev-mcp is maintained by Shopify and published on npm. It focuses on developer tooling. Community servers extend this with Admin API access for store operations.

Do I need a Shopify plan to use the MCP server?

The Dev MCP server works without a Shopify account — it provides documentation and schema access. To manage a store via the Admin API, you need an active Shopify store and a custom app with appropriate API scopes.

Can the agent modify my store data?

With the official Dev MCP server, no — it is read-only (docs and schema). With an Admin API-connected server, yes — the agent can create products, update orders, manage inventory, and more, limited by the API scopes you grant.
