## 📚 Quick Start

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- Shopify store with API access
- Claude Desktop application

### Installation

#### Standard Installation

```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mourigenta/shopify-mcp-server.git
cd shopify-mcp-server

# 2. Set up environment with network resilience
./setup_test_env.sh
# Or with custom options:
# INSTALL_TIMEOUT=300 INSTALL_RETRY=5 ./setup_test_env.sh

# 3. Configure your Shopify credentials
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your credentials
```

#### Installation in Restricted Networks

```bash
# For environments with network restrictions:

# 1. Behind a proxy
export PIP_PROXY=http://your-proxy:port
./setup_test_env.sh

# 2. Limited network connectivity
INSTALL_TIMEOUT=300 INSTALL_RETRY=10 ./setup_test_env.sh

# 3. Offline installation
# First, download packages on a connected machine:
pip download -r requirements.txt -d vendor/
# Then on the target machine:
OFFLINE_MODE=1 ./setup_test_env.sh

# 4. Minimal installation (core features only)
INSTALL_OPTIONAL=0 INSTALL_DEV=0 ./setup_test_env.sh
```

### Dependency Installation Options

```bash
# Core dependencies only (minimal functionality)
pip install -r requirements-base.txt

# Extended dependencies (recommended)
pip install -r requirements-extended.txt

# Full installation (all features)
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### Configuration

Configure your Shopify credentials in `.env`:

```bash
SHOPIFY_SHOP_NAME=your-shop-name
SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
SHOPIFY_API_VERSION=2024-01
```

See [Environment Setup Guide](docs/configuration/environment.md) for detailed instructions.

## 🛠️ Available Tools

### REST API Tools
- `get_orders_summary`: Order statistics and revenue
- `get_sales_analytics`: Sales trends and analytics
- `get_product_performance`: Top performing products

### GraphQL API Tools
- `get_shop_info_graphql`: Comprehensive shop information
- `get_products_graphql`: Efficient product data fetching  
- `get_inventory_levels_graphql`: Location-aware inventory tracking

### When to Use Which?

**Use GraphQL for:**
- Complex queries with related data
- Mobile apps with bandwidth constraints
- Selective field fetching

**Use REST for:**
- Simple CRUD operations
- Cached content
- Legacy integrations

See [GraphQL vs REST Guide](docs/user-guide/graphql-vs-rest.md) for detailed comparisons.

## 🧪 Testing

Run the comprehensive test suite:

```bash
# Run all tests with automatic dependency detection
python run_adaptive_tests.py

# Run with coverage report
./run_tests.sh --coverage

# Run specific test file
python -m pytest test_graphql_client.py

# Check environment and dependencies
python test_imports.py
```

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Network Issues

If you encounter dependency installation failures:

1. **Check proxy settings**: `export PIP_PROXY=http://proxy:port`
2. **Increase timeout**: `INSTALL_TIMEOUT=300 ./setup_test_env.sh`
3. **Use offline mode**: See [docs/NETWORK_TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/NETWORK_TROUBLESHOOTING.md)
4. **Disable retries**: `INSTALL_RETRY_DISABLED=1 ./setup_test_env.sh`

### Common Issues

- **Import errors**: Run `python test_imports.py` for specific instructions
- **SSL errors**: Update certificates or use trusted sources
- **Timeout errors**: Increase `INSTALL_TIMEOUT` environment variable

## 🐳 Docker Support

Deploy with Docker:

```bash
# Build and run
docker-compose up

# Production deployment
docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up
```
