Search shopify.dev docs, explore the Admin GraphQL schema, and validate GraphQL, Liquid themes and Functions code — so your agent writes correct Shopify code. No API key needed.
No configuration required
Deploy and start querying — nothing to connect.
Standard
Sessions run up to 60 minutes before the sandbox is reclaimed.
60+ AI models
Chat with 60+ AI models on the same workflow — switch to a different model mid-conversation and re-run the same prompt, or use Compare mode to put several side-by-side.
How models use it and what it is built for.
Shopify's Dev MCP server gives a coding model the current Shopify developer documentation and API schemas, so it writes code against today's APIs instead of whatever it remembers from training.
It is a developer tool, not a store connector: it searches shopify.dev and validates code, and never reads or changes a store. That is why it needs no API key.
Hosted, there is nothing to install — deploy it and point any MCP client or Agent Studio at the URL.
Concrete operations exposed as tools.
In order. Each step assumes the previous one worked.
No key, no store, no OAuth. Deploy and you get a live MCP URL.
Use it alongside your code editor or in Agent Studio while you build a Shopify app, theme or Function.
Paste any of these into Agent Studio once the server is connected.
How do I create a product with variants using the Admin GraphQL API? Show a working mutation.
Validate this GraphQL query against the current Admin API schema and fix any errors.
What is the recommended way to add a discount with Shopify Functions?
Check this Liquid section for errors.
Known constraints, stated plainly.
Deploy the server hosted, then watch which tools a model actually reaches for — with full JSON input and output on every call. Switch models mid-conversation to compare how each one uses the same server.
About the Shopify Dev MCP server.
No. It works only with Shopify's public developer documentation and schemas. To act on store data you need a store-connected server with an Admin API token.
No. Everything it uses is public developer documentation.
Shopify publishes the @shopify/dev-mcp package; the hosted deployment runs that package unmodified.
