  }

Schema Exploration

The killer feature: the server introspects Shopify's live GraphQL schema on startup, so your AI assistant can discover API capabilities in real-time.

You: "What mutations are available for metaobjects?"
→ AI uses shopify_schema_search with query "metaobject" filter "mutations"
→ Returns: metaobjectCreate, metaobjectUpdate, metaobjectDelete, metaobjectUpsert, ...

You: "What fields does MetaobjectCreateInput take?"
→ AI uses shopify_schema_details with name "MetaobjectCreateInput"
→ Returns: full type definition with all fields, types, and descriptions

This means the server works correctly even when Shopify releases new API versions — no code changes needed.
