This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Shopify developers, enabling tools like Cursor and Claude Desktop to interact with various Shopify APIs. It streamlines access to Shopify's Admin GraphQL API and documentation, offering developers a more integrated and efficient workflow for building Shopify applications.

How It Works

The server leverages the MCP SDK to establish communication with Shopify Dev. It exposes specific tools for searching documentation, introspecting the Admin GraphQL schema, fetching documents by path, and providing guidance on getting started with Shopify APIs. This architecture allows AI-powered development tools to query and utilize Shopify's resources programmatically.
