Shopify MCP Integration for Shopify Store Owners

Imagine managing your entire Shopify store just by talking to Claude – checking sales, creating discounts, and finding customers with simple conversations. This integration uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect Claude directly to your store’s data. Never set up an MCP integration before? Read this first for how to setup with Claude.

IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING

This integration was created by Amir Bengherbi and is an unofficial, third-party tool that is not officially supported by Shopify or Anthropic. Before using this integration:

• Keep your access tokens secure and never share them
• Thoroughly review the code at the GitHub repository
• Monitor all subsequent updates for potential security vulnerabilities
• Use at your own risk – this tool has access to sensitive store data
• Consider testing on a development store first
