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. The core scopes are:

   • read_products, write_products
   • read_customers, write_customers
   • read_orders, write_orders

   Some tools need additional scopes. Add only the ones for features you use:

   Scopes	Needed for
   read_all_orders	Orders older than 60 days (otherwise order tools only see recent orders)
   read_inventory, write_inventory	get-inventory-levels, inventory-set-quantities, update-inventory-item
   read_locations	get-locations, get-inventory-levels
   read_markets	get-markets
   read_draft_orders, write_draft_orders	create-draft-order, complete-draft-order
   read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders, write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders	get-fulfillment-orders, create-fulfillment
   read_publications, write_publications	get-publications, get-product-publications, publish-product, unpublish-product

   For every tool, the full list is:

   read_products,write_products,read_customers,write_customers,read_orders,write_orders,read_all_orders,read_inventory,write_inventory,read_locations,read_markets,read_draft_orders,write_draft_orders,read_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders,write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders,read_publications,write_publications

   After changing scopes, release a new app version, approve it on the store, and restart the MCP server so it fetches a token with the new scopes.

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):

{  "mcpServers": {    "shopify": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@kisasa/shopify-mcp",        "--clientId",        "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",        "--clientSecret",        "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",        "--domain",        "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"      ]    }  }}

Client Credentials via environment variables (keeps secrets out of the command line):

{  "mcpServers": {    "shopify": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@kisasa/shopify-mcp"],      "env": {        "MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN": "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com",        "SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID": "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",        "SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET": "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>"      }    }  }}

To connect more than one store, add one entry per store with a different name (e.g. "shopify-store-a", "shopify-store-b").

Static Access Token (legacy):

{  "mcpServers": {    "shopify": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "@kisasa/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:

claude mcp add shopify -- npx @kisasa/shopify-mcp \  --clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \  --clientSecret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \  --domain your-store.myshopify.com

Static Access Token (legacy):

claude mcp add shopify -- npx @kisasa/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_idSHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secretMYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com

   Static Access Token (legacy):

   SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_tokenMYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com

2. Run the server with npx:

   npx @kisasa/shopify-mcp

Direct Installation (Optional)

If you want to install the package globally:

npm install -g @kisasa/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: 2026-10). 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 @kisasa/shopify-mcp, not shopify-mcp-server or the unscoped shopify-mcp.

     • idempotencyKey (string, optional): Idempotency key for the request, which Admin API 2026-04 and later require. If omitted, a new UUID is generated for each call. Reuse a key only to retry the exact same request
   • Returns: { idempotencyKey, adjustmentGroup, userErrors }. userErrors include a code (e.g. CHANGE_FROM_QUANTITY_STALE, IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_PARAMETER_MISMATCH) and are returned rather than thrown, so always check them

2. update-inventory-item

   • Set an inventory item's unit cost and/or whether its inventory is tracked
   • Inputs:
     • inventoryItemId (string, required): gid://shopify/InventoryItem/123 or just 123. This is the inventory item ID, not the variant ID (get it from get-inventory-items or get-product-variants-detailed). A GID of another type, such as a ProductVariant GID, is rejected
     • cost (number or decimal string, optional): Unit cost in the shop's currency, e.g. 12.5 or "12.50". Must be >= 0
     • tracked (boolean, optional): Whether Shopify tracks inventory for this item
     • Provide at least one of cost or tracked
   • Returns: { inventoryItemId, unitCost: { amount, currencyCode }, tracked, variantId, productId, productTitle, userErrors }
   • If Shopify returns userErrors, the call fails as a tool error with their messages, so a rejected update is never mistaken for success
   • Read the cost back with get-inventory-items, which returns inventoryItem.unitCost

1. manage-tags

   • Add or remove tags on any taggable resource (orders, products, customers, draft orders, articles)

   • Inputs:
     • ids (array of strings, required): Resource GIDs (up to 100). For larger sets, call multiple times
     • tags (array of strings, required): Tags to add or remove
     • action (string, required): "add" or "remove"

Collection Management (2 tools)

     • productsFirst (number, default: 25): Number of products to include (0 to skip)
     • fields (array, optional): Collection-level fields to fetch (id, title, handle, descriptionHtml, sortOrder, templateSuffix, updatedAt, productsCount, ruleSet, image, seo)

Order Query Filter Reference

The get-orders tool's query parameter supports Shopify search syntax:

Debugging

If you encounter issues, check Claude Desktop's MCP logs.

macOS:

tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log

Windows (PowerShell):

Get-Content "$env:APPDATA\Claude\logs\mcp*.log" -Tail 20 -Wait

Common causes:

• "Access denied for … field": the app is missing a scope. See the scope table under Authentication, then release a new app version, approve it on the store, and restart the server.
• Tools don't appear: fully quit and restart Claude Desktop after editing its config.

Releasing

Releases are published automatically by .github/workflows/publish.yml when a version bump reaches main:

1. In your PR, bump version in package.json and both version fields in server.json (they must match, or the workflow fails).
2. Merge to main. The workflow publishes to npm (with provenance), publishes to the MCP Registry, and creates a vX.Y.Z GitHub release.

Merges that don't change the version publish nothing.

Credits

This project builds on the work of:

• GeLi2001/shopify-mcp: the original Shopify MCP server
• lucasjahn/shopify-mcp: a fork of the original that added field selection, count-only mode, and many of the read-only tools

Thank you to both projects and their contributors.
