Why This Exists
Existing Shopify MCP servers return raw data. Shopify Insights MCP answers "what does it mean?" and "what should I do?":
Other MCPs | Shopify Insights MCP |
"You have $45,000 in sales" | "You have $45,000, 12% less than last month" |
"List of 50 products" | "5 products have critical stock and high demand" |
"10 pending orders" | "3 orders have been unfulfilled for 5+ days" |
