"shopify": {
"command": "npx",

"shopify-mcp",
"--accessToken",

}
}
```
Locations for the Claude Desktop config file:
- MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

### 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:
```
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 --accessToken=<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN> --domain=<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com
```
**⚠️ 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`.

Scored across 9 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources and actions. For example, get-products retrieves a list while get-product-by-id fetches a single item, and create-product vs. update-order handle different operations on different entities. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with hyphens, such as create-product, get-orders, and update-customer. The naming is uniform throughout, using clear verbs (create, get, update) paired with specific nouns (product, customer, order), making it predictable and readable.
With 9 tools, the server is well-scoped for a Shopify integration, covering core e-commerce operations. Each tool serves a distinct function in managing products, customers, and orders, and the count is neither too sparse nor overwhelming for the domain.
The tool set provides good coverage for CRUD operations on products, customers, and orders, including create, get, and update actions. However, there are minor gaps such as no delete operations (e.g., delete-product) and missing tools for other Shopify resources like inventory or discounts, which agents might need to work around.
