Shopify Admin MCP Overview

Shopify Admin MCP MCP server connects an AI client to one Shopify store through the Admin GraphQL API. It provides focused tools for reading shop data and managing products, variant prices, inventory, orders, and basic discounts, plus an escape hatch for arbitrary GraphQL documents.

The server runs locally over stdio and can obtain short-lived Admin API tokens from Shopify app credentials.

Primary Use Cases for Shopify Admin MCP:
  • Inspect recent orders and their fulfillment or financial status
  • Create products and update their fields or variant prices
  • Set available inventory for items at Shopify locations
  • Search customers and review their recent order history
