## Features
- **Product Management**: Full CRUD for products, variants, and options
- **Customer Management**: Load customer data and manage customer tags
- **Order Management**: Advanced order querying and filtering
- **GraphQL Integration**: Direct integration with Shopify's GraphQL Admin API
- **Comprehensive Error Handling**: Clear error messages for API and authentication issues
## Prerequisites
1. Node.js (version 18 or higher)
2. A Shopify store with a custom app (see setup instructions below)
## Setup
### Authentication
This server supports two authentication methods:
#### Option 1: Client Credentials (Dev Dashboard apps, January 2026+)
As of January 1, 2026, new Shopify apps are created in the **Dev Dashboard** and use OAuth client credentials instead of static access tokens.
1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Settings** > **Apps and sales channels**
2. Click **Develop apps** > **Build app in dev dashboard**
3. Create a new app and configure **Admin API scopes**:
- `read_products`, `write_products`
- `read_customers`, `write_customers`
- `read_orders`, `write_orders`
4. Install the app on your store
5. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from the app's API credentials
The server will automatically exchange these for an access token and refresh it before it expires (tokens are valid for ~24 hours).
#### Option 2: Static Access Token (legacy apps)
If you have an existing custom app with a static `shpat_` access token, you can still use it directly.
### Usage with Claude Desktop
**Client Credentials (recommended):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"shopify": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"shopify-mcp",
"--clientId",
"<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
"--clientSecret",
"<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",
"--domain",
"<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"
]
}
}
}
```
**Static Access Token (legacy):**
```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`
### Usage with Claude Code
**Client Credentials:**
```bash
claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
--clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
--clientSecret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
--domain your-store.myshopify.com
```
**Static Access Token (legacy):**
```bash
claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
--accessToken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN \
--domain your-store.myshopify.com
```
### 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:
**Client Credentials:**
```
SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com
```
**Static Access Token (legacy):**
```
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 --clientId=<ID> --clientSecret=<SECRET> --domain=<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com
```
### Additional Options
- `--apiVersion`: Specify the Shopify API version (default: `2026-01`). Can also be set via `SHOPIFY_API_VERSION` environment variable.
**⚠️ 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`.
