This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN (Permanent store host, e.g. my-store.myshopify.com (a bare store name works too).), SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN (Ready-made Admin API access token (legacy apps created before 2026-01-01). Alternative to the client id/secret pair.), SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID (Client id of a Dev Dashboard app; with the secret the server mints and refreshes its own token.), SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET (Client secret of that app. Treat it as a secret.), SHOPIFY_API_VERSION (Admin API version: a quarterly YYYY-MM release or unstable.), SHOPIFY_API_BASE (Full http/https URL of the GraphQL endpoint, replacing host and version (e.g. a local mock).), SHOPIFY_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout in milliseconds.), SHOPIFY_MAX_RETRIES (Retries on THROTTLED/429 (always) and on 5xx / network errors for reads only.), SHOPIFY_TOKEN_LEEWAY_SECONDS (Re-mint the token this many seconds before it expires.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Shopify Admin MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Shopify Admin MCP?
Shopify Admin MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package mcp-shopify-admin was installed 31 times last week.
How do I connect Shopify Admin MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls mcp-shopify-admin straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Shopify Admin MCP?
The npm package mcp-shopify-admin was installed 31 times in the last week. Week over week that is -22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Shopify Admin MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
