CLISHOP
Order anything from your terminal. Built for AI agents and humans.
CLISHOP is an open-source CLI that lets AI agents and humans search for products across multiple stores, compare prices, and place real orders — all from the terminal. Anyone can sell on CLISHOP using a Dark Store.
Works with
Highlights
- One query searches every store in the network. Results are filtered to what actually ships to your address.
- Set spending caps per order, require email confirmation before anything ships, or let it go through automatically — your call.
- Ships as a native MCP server with 46 tools. Works with VS Code Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and anything else that speaks MCP.
- Can't find what you need? Post an advertise request and let vendors compete to fulfill it.
- Support tickets, product reviews, store reviews — all from the terminal.
- Anyone can sell on CLISHOP by deploying a Dark Store. No website needed.
Install
Requires Node.js ≥ 18. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux/WSL.
This gives you two commands: clishop (the CLI) and clishop-mcp (the MCP server for AI agents).
OpenClaw
Once the ClawHub package is published, install CLISHOP into an OpenClaw workspace with:
The bundle exposes the CLISHOP skill under skills/clishop/SKILL.md and merges the packaged MCP defaults from .mcp.json so OpenClaw can launch the bundled CLISHOP MCP runtime locally without fetching npm code at startup.
Linux / WSL
CLISHOP works out of the box on Linux and WSL. On systems without a native keychain, tokens are stored in a local file (~/.config/clishop/auth.json) with restricted permissions.
For native keychain support (optional):
Run clishop doctor to check your system's compatibility.

Quick Start
You can create your account on clishop.ai or do everything from the CLI.
Setup
Setup only needs an email address. Search first, then add your address and payment method when you're ready to buy.
For OpenClaw, MCP clients, Claude-style shells, and other tool runners, use:
setup start returns immediately with account-ready status and stores auth locally.
In OpenClaw, prefer the installed CLISHOP MCP tools over CLI shell commands. For address management, the intended flow is to call list_addresses first, then add_address non-interactively with any known fields, and ask the user only for missing required address fields (label, firstName, lastName, line1, city, postalCode, country). For payments, use add_payment_method to generate a secure setup link for the human, then check list_payment_methods after the human completes the web flow. The agent should never ask for raw card details in chat.
- Search products right away with
clishop search <query> - Add a shipping address later with
clishop address add - Add a payment method later with
clishop payment add
After setup is complete, add a shipping address and start ordering:
Tip: use result numbers from a search anywhere —
clishop info 1 2 3orclishop buy 2.
Diagnostics
If something isn't working, run:
This checks keychain availability, token storage, authentication status, and API connectivity.
Architecture
Sell on CLISHOP
You can run your own store with the Dark Store template. Define your catalog, shipping rules, and pricing in YAML, deploy to Vercel, and you're live. No website needed.
Development
MCP Server
CLISHOP ships as a native MCP server with 46 tools. Any MCP-compatible client gets shopping capabilities out of the box.
The MCP onboarding tools now follow the same email-first model:
