Shopify's official MCP server. Search Shopify dev docs, introspect the Admin GraphQL schema, and validate GraphQL, Liquid, and component code from Claude Code.

Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit ·updated
$ claude mcp add --transport stdio shopify-dev-mcp -- npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest copy

Shopify’s official MCP server (now packaged as the Shopify AI Toolkit, Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit).

Why it matters

When an LLM writes Shopify API code from memory, it often invents fields that don’t exist. Connect the Shopify Dev MCP and Claude Code introspects the real docs and GraphQL schema, so it writes validated queries and code.

What you can do

Representative tasks from Shopify’s official docs:

  • Introspect the Admin schema — “What’s the current GraphQL Admin mutation for productCreate?” (live schema, not guessed from training data)
  • Write and validate GraphQL — “Build an Admin API GraphQL query to fetch orders from last week” and validate it
  • Search docs — “Search the Shopify docs for how to register a Shopify Function and scaffold one.”
  • Validate Liquid themes — “Validate this Liquid theme template against Shopify’s schema.”
  • Validate Polaris components — “Build a Polaris UI extension and check the component code is valid.”

Grounded in shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/ai-toolkit.

Key features

  • Docs — learn_shopify_api, search_docs_chunks, fetch_full_docs
  • Schema — introspect_graphql_schema (Admin, Storefront, Functions, etc.)
  • Validation — validate_graphql_codeblocks, validate_theme_codeblocks, validate_component_codeblocks
  • Supported APIs — Admin GraphQL, Functions, Storefront, Hydrogen, Polaris, Customer, Partner
