How to Set Up and Use Shopify Admin API
shopify-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to the Shopify Admin API via GraphQL, enabling natural language management of products, customers, orders, inventory, metafields, and draft orders across your Shopify store. It exposes 31 tools covering the full breadth of day-to-day store operations — from querying products and customer records to processing refunds, managing fulfillments, and setting inventory quantities at specific locations. The server includes a ComfyUI bridge for AI-powered product image generation, making it suitable for both operational store management and creative product catalog work.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ and npm installed
- A Shopify store with Admin API access
- Shopify OAuth credentials: SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID and SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET (or a static SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN)
- Your store's myshopify.com domain (MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Create a Shopify app in the Partner Dashboard
Go to partners.shopify.com, create a custom app for your store, and note the Client ID and Client Secret. Alternatively, generate a static Admin API access token from your Shopify Admin under Settings > Apps.
Install the server and verify it works
Run the server via npx with your credentials to verify the connection. Pass your store domain without 'https://'.
npx shopify-mcp \
--clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
--clientSecret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
--domain your-store.myshopify.comAdd to Claude Desktop configuration
Configure the server in claude_desktop_config.json using environment variables for credentials.
{
"mcpServers": {
"shopify": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "shopify-mcp"],
"env": {
"SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",
"SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret",
"MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN": "your-store.myshopify.com",
"SHOPIFY_API_VERSION": "2026-01"
}
}
}
}Alternative: Add via Claude Code CLI
If using Claude Code, you can add the Shopify MCP server directly from the command line.
claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
--clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
--clientSecret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
--domain your-store.myshopify.comRestart your MCP client and verify tools
Restart Claude Desktop or reload your MCP client. You should have access to 31 Shopify tools covering products, customers, orders, inventory, metafields, and tags.

}Prompts to try
These prompts demonstrate product management, order operations, customer queries, and inventory management through the 31 available Shopify tools.
- "Show me all products in the 'Summer Collection' collection with their current inventory levels"
- "Find all orders with financial_status:paid that were placed in the last 7 days"
- "Get the customer record for email [email protected] and show their order history"
- "Create a draft order for 2 units of product variant gid://shopify/ProductVariant/123 and apply a 10% discount"
- "Set the inventory quantity of variant gid://shopify/ProductVariant/456 to 50 at location gid://shopify/Location/789"
- "Issue a full refund for order 5001"Troubleshooting Shopify Admin API
Authentication fails with 'invalid credentials' or 401 error
Verify your SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID and SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET match the app registered in the Shopify Partner Dashboard. If using a static token, set SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN to a token beginning with 'shpat_' instead of the client ID/secret pair. Ensure the app is installed on the target store.
GraphQL query returns empty results or 'resource not found'
Check that your app has the required API scopes enabled. Product queries need read_products, order queries need read_orders, and customer queries need read_customers. Update your app's permissions in the Shopify Partner Dashboard and reinstall the app on your store.
SHOPIFY_API_VERSION causes deprecation warnings or errors
Set SHOPIFY_API_VERSION to a supported version such as '2026-01'. Shopify deprecates older API versions quarterly, so update this value when Shopify announces the end-of-life for older versions.
