Shop MCP is Shopify's hosted MCP service for product discovery, carts, checkout and Shop account workflows. Public search is free, and carts and merchant checkout work without sign-in. Saved addresses, Shop Pay and other Shop account features require authentication. Purchases still need shopper authorization and payment; free search does not make goods free.
- Availability
- Available. Search, carts and merchant checkout work without sign-in. Saved addresses, Shop Pay and Shop order history use a connected Shop account.
- How to use it
- API. Use the documented offering and confirm the permissions required for each operation.
- Processing and data
- Vendor cloud. Public tools and anonymous merchant checkout differ from authenticated Shop account, order and payment data. Scope credentials and shopper approval to each action.
- Costs and limits
- Public search is free; purchases, payment and other service terms are separate.
- Outputs
- Product results, carts and checkout or spend requests; a recommendation does not authorize payment.
ASE has not connected an account or made purchases. Named-agent rollout and merchant support have separate limits; confirm the selected client's current access.
