listing.about

Shopify Dev connects an AI coding assistant to Shopify's developer documentation and API schemas. It lets the assistant look up the right API surface, read current reference material, and validate GraphQL queries, Liquid templates and Shopify Extensions against Shopify schemas before you run them.

It runs locally over stdio through the npm package @shopify/dev-mcp and needs Node.js 18 or higher. No sign-in or API key is required for the documentation and validation features. It is part of the Shopify AI Toolkit, which also ships as plugins for several AI coding tools.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio shopify-dev -- npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. shopify-dev should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs Node.js on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"shopify-dev","type":"stdio","command":"npx","args":["-y","@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add shopify-dev -- npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.shopify-dev]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"]

Needs Node.js on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add shopify-dev npx -- -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopify-dev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs Node.js on your computer.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/shopify-dev into my MCP client?

No. Shopify Dev runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest.

Does Shopify Dev need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is Shopify Dev a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with npx -y @shopify/dev-mcp@latest, which needs Node.js.

What can Shopify Dev do?

You can search current Shopify developer documentation, look up Admin GraphQL API schema details and validate GraphQL queries against Shopify schemas.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.
