ecommerceguide summary

Shopify MCP Server connects MCP clients to the Shopify Admin GraphQL API so an assistant can read products, variants, collections, customers, orders and shop details, tag customers, create discount codes, and create and complete draft orders. It also subscribes to and removes webhooks. Maintained by Amir Bengherbi under the MIT licence, it runs locally over stdio via npx -y shopify-mcp-server, authenticated with a Shopify custom app access token and store domain.

Why it stands out

Community-maintained MIT-licensed npm package that runs locally over stdio using a Shopify custom app Admin API token.

    Checking which products sit in a collection and pulling variant details before a promotion

    Intended outcomeThe server answers with get-products-by-collection and get-variants-by-ids results from the Admin GraphQL API

  2. A Shopify store team handling customer queries

    Looking up a customer's recent orders and flagging the account for follow-up

    Intended outcomeget-customers and get-orders return the data, and tag-customer writes tags back to the customer record

  3. A Shopify store running a time-limited promotion

    Setting up a percentage discount code and preparing a manual order for a wholesale buyer

    Intended outcomecreate-discount issues the code with start and end dates, and create-draft-order plus complete-draft-order handle the order
