Summary

Shopify's official developer MCP server — accurate API docs and schema introspection for building Shopify apps.

Features

  • Search current Shopify documentation as a tool
  • Introspect the Admin GraphQL schema
  • Validate generated GraphQL before running it

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Shopify Dev" tools will be available.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Description

Shopify's Dev MCP server solves a specific and very real problem: Shopify's APIs change every quarter, and models confidently generate code against versions that no longer exist.

What it provides
  • Documentation search across Shopify's current developer docs, returning the actual current guidance rather than a recollection of it
  • GraphQL schema introspection for the Admin API, so an assistant knows which fields and mutations exist in the version you are targeting
  • Query validation — check a generated GraphQL query against the schema before running it, which catches the invented-field class of error immediately
  • Coverage across surfaces including Admin, Storefront, Functions, and Polaris
Why this shape of server is underrated

It does not touch your store's data at all. It makes the assistant's code correct. For app development that is a bigger win than data access, because a wrong mutation against a live store is worse than no mutation.

Setup

No credentials required — it reads public documentation and schemas. Runs with npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest, and pairs well with a separate Admin API server when you do need store data.
