Documentation Overview

Shop Buddy

Let your AI coding agent change your Shopify theme safely. Every edit lands on an unpublished staging theme. Shop Buddy validates it with Theme Check, screenshots before/after on mobile and desktop with a plain-language summary of what changed, and you approve with one tap. Rollback is one tap. The live theme is never edited directly.

Site and one-click install: https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/install

bash

# Claude Code (hosted MCP, signs in through your browser)
claude mcp add --transport http shopbuddy https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp

# Claude Code plugin (adds the skill too)
claude plugin marketplace add tmill313/shopbuddy-plugin
claude plugin install shopbuddy@shopbuddy-marketplace

# Codex
codex mcp add shopbuddy --url https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp

# Local CLI (no account needed for local mode)
npx shopbuddy

Claude (web/desktop) and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp. The agent opens a browser tab; sign in or create an account there and click Allow. No keys.

How it works

shopbuddy_start_change duplicates the live theme into a staging theme and pulls it into a server-side working copy.
The agent reads, searches and writes files, runs Theme Check with shopbuddy_validate, then shopbuddy_push_preview uploads to staging and captures before/after screenshots, each visual change attributed to its section.
shopbuddy_submit and shopbuddy_request_publish hand the store owner a one-tap approval link. Owners can opt a store into trusted publishing so low-risk changes publish on request, always logged and one tap from shopbuddy_rollback.
