Shopify Dev MCP
Search Shopify docs and API schemas and validate GraphQL, Liquid and extension code.
Officialby ShopifyRuns on your computerChecked October 18, 2026
Shopify's Dev MCP server runs on your computer and helps coding assistants build Shopify apps and themes by searching the official docs and API schemas. It also checks GraphQL operations, Liquid and theme files, and UI extension code against Shopify's schemas, and it needs no login.
Who it is for
- Shopify app and theme developers
- Agencies that build Shopify stores
- Developers writing Admin API scripts
Prompts to try
Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.
Write a GraphQL Admin API mutation that adds a metafield to a product, and validate it.Check my theme folder for Liquid errors before I upload it.Which Admin API version should this app target, and what changed in it?How to connect it
In Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio shopify-dev-mcp -- npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest
In the Claude desktop app
Add this to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the app:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shopify-dev-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}Good to know
Restart Claude Code after adding it. Published builds send usage telemetry to Shopify; set OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=true to turn it off.
