What is the Shopify Admin MCP Server?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing how AI assistants interact with external services. Our Shopify Admin MCP Server bridges the gap between AI assistants like Claude and your Shopify store, enabling powerful automation through natural language.
Instead of manually navigating the Shopify admin panel or writing complex API integrations, you can now simply ask your AI assistant to perform tasks like:
- "Show me all orders from the last week"
- "Create a new product called 'Summer T-Shirt' priced at $29.99"
- "Update the inventory for SKU-12345 to 100 units"
- "List all customers who made a purchase this month"
Key Features
Secure OAuth Authentication
Your Shopify credentials are never exposed to the AI. Our MCP server uses secure OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring your store data remains protected while enabling powerful automation capabilities.
Full Admin API Coverage
The server provides comprehensive access to Shopify's Admin API, including:
- Products: Create, update, delete, and search products
- Orders: View order details, update fulfillment status, manage refunds
- Customers: Access customer information, order history, and manage accounts
- Inventory: Track and update stock levels across locations
- Collections: Organize products into collections
- Discounts: Create and manage discount codes and automatic discounts
Intelligent Context
The MCP server provides rich context to AI assistants, enabling smarter responses. When you ask about your store, the AI understands your product catalog, order patterns, and customer base.
