Set up Shopify MCP in VS Code

Interact with Shopify Admin GraphQL API to manage products, orders, customers, inventory, and store data from your AI editor.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "shopify-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@shopify/dev-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN",
        "SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN": "YOUR_SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAIN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up environment variables

Shopify MCP requires the following environment variables:

SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKENRequired

Shopify Admin API access token

SHOPIFY_STORE_DOMAINRequired

Your Shopify store domain (e.g. my-store.myshopify.com)

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Shopify MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 12 tools available.
