How do I install Shopify?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Shopify need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: SHOPIFY_STORE, SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN, SHOPIFY_API_VERSION, COMFYUI_URL, COMFYUI_PUBLIC_URL, COMFYUI_DEFAULT_CKPT.

What transport does Shopify use?

Shopify runs locally over stdio.

When was Shopify last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-09. MCP server for Shopify Admin API with a ComfyUI bridge for AI product image generation.

Credentials from the publisher

SHOPIFY_STORE — Store domain, e.g. 'my-store' or 'my-store.myshopify.com'
SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN — Admin API access token (shpat_...). See README for how to create a custom app on a dev store.
SHOPIFY_API_VERSION — Shopify GraphQL Admin API version (default: 2026-04)
COMFYUI_URL — ComfyUI HTTP URL for bridge tools. When unset, generate_* bridge tools are disabled.
COMFYUI_PUBLIC_URL — Externally-reachable ComfyUI URL (defaults to COMFYUI_URL)
COMFYUI_DEFAULT_CKPT — Default ComfyUI checkpoint filename for bridge tools (default: sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors)

Claude Code has no install link for a local command. Copy the command below and run it in a terminal.

Questions

shopify-mcp

MCP server for Shopify. Full Admin GraphQL API tooling plus an AI-driven product creation bridge via ComfyUI image generation.

The pitch

Every other Shopify MCP is a plain Admin API wrapper. This one pairs with @miller-joe/comfyui-mcp so you can say things like:

"Create a product called 'Nebula Dreamer'. Generate a cosmic abstract image for it, description matching the vibe, tagged astrology, status draft."

Claude then runs ComfyUI, gets an image back, creates the Shopify product, and attaches the image, all in one call.

Install

# npx, no install
npx @miller-joe/shopify-mcp \
  --shopify-store your-store.myshopify.com \
  --shopify-access-token shpat_xxx

# Docker
docker run -p 9110:9110 \
  -e SHOPIFY_STORE=your-store.myshopify.com \
  -e SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=shpat_xxx \
  -e COMFYUI_URL=http://comfyui:8188 \
  ghcr.io/miller-joe/shopify-mcp:latest

Connect an MCP client

claude mcp add --transport http shopify http://localhost:9110/mcp

Or point your MCP gateway at the Streamable HTTP endpoint.

Configuration

CLI flag	Env var	Default	Notes
`--shopify-store`	`SHOPIFY_STORE`	(required)	`my-store` or `my-store.myshopify.com`
`--shopify-access-token`	`SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN`	(required)	Admin API token (`shpat_…`)
`--shopify-api-version`	`SHOPIFY_API_VERSION`	`2026-04`	GraphQL Admin API version
`--host`	`MCP_HOST`	`0.0.0.0`	Bind host (HTTP mode only)
`--port`	`MCP_PORT`	`9110`	Bind port (HTTP mode only)
`--stdio`	`MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio`	(unset)	Speak MCP over stdio instead of HTTP. Use when launched as a subprocess by a stdio-first MCP client (Claude Desktop, mcp-inspector).
`--comfyui-url`	`COMFYUI_URL`	(optional)	Enables bridge tools when set
`--comfyui-public-url`	`COMFYUI_PUBLIC_URL`	same as `--comfyui-url`	External URL used for image references passed to Shopify
(no flag)	`COMFYUI_DEFAULT_CKPT`	`sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors`	Default checkpoint for bridge tools

Transports

The server speaks streamable HTTP by default (great for Claude Code, MetaMCP, raw fetch). Pass --stdio (or set MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio) to switch into stdio mode, which is what stdio-first clients like Claude Desktop and the MCP Inspector expect:

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@miller-joe/shopify-mcp", "--stdio"],
      "env": {
        "SHOPIFY_STORE": "my-store.myshopify.com",
        "SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN": "shpat_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Getting a Shopify access token

Easy path, existing dev store: Shopify Admin → Apps → Develop apps → Create custom app → enable relevant Admin API scopes (write_products, read_orders, write_inventory, read_customers) → install → copy the admin API access token (starts with shpat_).

For new apps (post-Jan 2026): legacy custom-app tokens are deprecated for freshly-created apps. Use the Dev Dashboard token-exchange flow once to obtain a working token, then supply it here. Multi-tenant OAuth is on the roadmap.

Claude, use generate_and_create_product:
  prompt: "minimalist sunset mountain silhouette, warm gradient, vector style"
  title: "Mountain Sunset Poster"
  status: DRAFT
  tags: ["posters", "nature", "minimalist"]

ComfyUI generates the image, Shopify creates the product with the image attached, and you get the product ID and image URL back. One prompt, one call, real listing.

Bridge tools call ComfyUI directly over HTTP, get an image URL, and pass it to Shopify's productCreateMedia mutation. Shopify fetches and hosts the image on its CDN.

cd shopify-mcp
npm install
npm run dev   # hot reload via tsx watch
npm run build
npm run typecheck
npm test

Requires Node 20+.
