Connect Cursor to your store

Cursor supports MCP servers natively, which means your editor's AI can read and manage your Shopify store through Shopigent while you work.

Prerequisite: You've installed Shopigent and issued an MCP API key from the dashboard. See Getting Started.

1. Add the MCP server

Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopigent": {
      "url": "https://shopigent-mcp-server-production.up.railway.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. The Shopigent tools appear in the MCP tools list.

2. Verify

In a Cursor chat, ask:

Using shopigent, list my products that are out of stock.

Ideas for developer workflows

• Generate SEO descriptions in your editor and push them straight to products.
• Pull real product data while building a storefront, instead of mocking it.
• Update theme content (Pro plan) while iterating on Liquid locally.

Troubleshooting

• Tools don't appear — check the JSON syntax and restart Cursor completely.
• 401 Unauthorized — regenerate the API key in the Shopigent dashboard.
• Writes rejected — your plan is read-only (Free) or the category is disabled.
