Prerequisites

1. Node.js (version 18 or higher)

2. A Shopify store with a custom app (see setup instructions below)

Setup

Authentication

This server supports two authentication methods:

Option 1: Client Credentials (Dev Dashboard apps, January 2026+)

As of January 1, 2026, new Shopify apps are created in the Dev Dashboard and use OAuth client credentials instead of static access tokens.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels

2. Click Develop apps > Build app in dev dashboard

3. Create a new app and configure Admin API scopes:

   • read_products, write_products

   • read_customers, write_customers

   • read_orders, write_orders

4. Install the app on your store

5. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret from the app's API credentials

The server will automatically exchange these for an access token and refresh it before it expires (tokens are valid for ~24 hours).

Option 2: Static Access Token (legacy apps)

If you have an existing custom app with a static shpat_ access token, you can still use it directly.

Usage with Claude Desktop

Client Credentials (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "shopify-mcp",
        "--clientId",
        "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
        "--clientSecret",
        "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",
        "--domain",
        "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Static Access Token (legacy):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "shopify-mcp",
        "--accessToken",
        "<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
        "--domain",
        "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"

Usage with Claude Code

Client Credentials:

claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
  --clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \

  --domain your-store.myshopify.com

Static Access Token (legacy):

claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
  --accessToken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN \
  --domain your-store.myshopify.com

Alternative: Run Locally with Environment Variables

If you prefer to use environment variables instead of command-line arguments:

1. Create a .env file with your Shopify credentials:

   Client Credentials:

   SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
   SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
   MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com

   Static Access Token (legacy):

   SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
   MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com

2. Run the server with npx:

   npx shopify-mcp

Direct Installation (Optional)

If you want to install the package globally:

npm install -g shopify-mcp

Then run it:

shopify-mcp --clientId=<ID> --clientSecret=<SECRET> --domain=<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com

Additional Options

• --apiVersion: Specify the Shopify API version (default: 2026-01). Can also be set via SHOPIFY_API_VERSION environment variable.

⚠️ Important: If you see errors about "SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is required" when using command-line arguments, you might have a different package installed. Make sure you're using shopify-mcp, not shopify-mcp-server.
