## Prerequisites

1. Node.js (version 18 or higher)
2. A Shopify store with a custom app (see setup instructions below)

## Setup

### Authentication

This server supports two authentication methods:

#### Option 1: Client Credentials (Dev Dashboard apps, January 2026+)

As of January 1, 2026, new Shopify apps are created in the **Dev Dashboard** and use OAuth client credentials instead of static access tokens.

1. From your Shopify admin, go to **Settings** > **Apps and sales channels**
2. Click **Develop apps** > **Build app in dev dashboard**
3. Create a new app and configure **Admin API scopes**:
   - `read_products`, `write_products`
   - `read_customers`, `write_customers`
   - `read_orders`, `write_orders`
4. Install the app on your store
5. Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from the app's API credentials

The server will automatically exchange these for an access token and refresh it before it expires (tokens are valid for ~24 hours).

#### Option 2: Static Access Token (legacy apps)

If you have an existing custom app with a static `shpat_` access token, you can still use it directly.

### Usage with Claude Desktop

**Client Credentials (recommended):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "shopify-mcp",
        "--clientId",
        "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>",
        "--clientSecret",
        "<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>",
        "--domain",
        "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

**Static Access Token (legacy):**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "shopify-mcp",
        "--accessToken",
        "<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
        "--domain",
        "<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

Locations for the Claude Desktop config file:

- MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

### Usage with Claude Code

**Client Credentials:**

```bash
claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
  --clientId YOUR_CLIENT_ID \
  --clientSecret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \
  --domain your-store.myshopify.com
```

**Static Access Token (legacy):**

```bash
claude mcp add shopify -- npx shopify-mcp \
  --accessToken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN \
  --domain your-store.myshopify.com
```

### Alternative: Run Locally with Environment Variables

If you prefer to use environment variables instead of command-line arguments:

1. Create a `.env` file with your Shopify credentials:

   **Client Credentials:**
   ```
   SHOPIFY_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
   SHOPIFY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
   MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com
   ```

   **Static Access Token (legacy):**
   ```
   SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
   MYSHOPIFY_DOMAIN=your-store.myshopify.com
   ```

2. Run the server with npx:
   ```
   npx shopify-mcp
   ```

### Direct Installation (Optional)

If you want to install the package globally:

```
npm install -g shopify-mcp
```

Then run it:

```
shopify-mcp --clientId=<ID> --clientSecret=<SECRET> --domain=<YOUR_SHOP>.myshopify.com
```

### Additional Options

- `--apiVersion`: Specify the Shopify API version (default: `2026-01`). Can also be set via `SHOPIFY_API_VERSION` environment variable.

**⚠️ Important:** If you see errors about "SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable is required" when using command-line arguments, you might have a different package installed. Make sure you're using `shopify-mcp`, not `shopify-mcp-server`.
