### Shopify Access Token

To use this MCP server, you'll need to create a custom app in your Shopify store:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Settings** > **Apps and sales channels**
2. Click **Develop apps** (you may need to enable developer preview first)
3. Click **Create an app**
4. Set a name for your app (e.g., "Shopify MCP Server")
5. Click **Configure Admin API scopes**
6. Select the following scopes:
   - `read_products`, `write_products`
   - `read_customers`, `write_customers`
   - `read_orders`, `write_orders`
7. Click **Save**
8. Click **Install app**
9. Click **Install** to give the app access to your store data
10. After installation, you'll see your **Admin API access token**
11. Copy this token - you'll need it for configuration

### Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

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

Locations for the Claude Desktop config file:

- MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%/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`.
