Shopify launches Shop MCP for agent search and Shop Pay checkout

Shop MCP gives MCP-compatible agents one connection to search Shopify Catalog, build carts and complete Shop Pay checkout.

Announced by ShopifyPublished Checked

Summary

Shopify released Shop MCP, a server that lets an agent search Shopify Catalog, build carts and finish checkout with Shop Pay. A signed-in shopper can pay with saved details without leaving the agent. Existing Catalog API integrations keep working and need no action.

What changed

  • Shop MCP is live, with one MCP connection that gives an agent 17 tools.
  • Signed-in shoppers can pay with saved Shop Pay details inside the agent.
  • Search works without an API key; an API key from the Dev Dashboard gives higher rate limits.
  • A shop CLI lets you try a search from your terminal before writing code.
  • No webhooks at launch, so you poll get_checkout for checkout status.

Founder takeaway

If you build or run an agent that recommends products, try the shop CLI search and then test one purchase end to end. If you only use the Catalog API directly, nothing changes and you need to do nothing.
