Getting Started with Shopigent

This guide walks you through connecting an AI agent to your Shopify store with Shopigent.

1. Install

Install Shopigent from the Shopify App Store and grant the scopes your store needs.

2. Enable tool categories

Open the Curated Tools dashboard in the app. Each category (Products, Orders, Customers, etc.) has a toggle — enable only what you want your agent to access.

3. Issue an MCP API key

From the dashboard, generate an MCP API key. The plaintext key is shown once — store it securely. Shopigent stores only a hash.

4. Connect your agent

Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Hermes, or your own) at the Shopigent MCP endpoint using the API key. Your agent can now list and act on your store data within the enabled scopes.

5. Confirmation gate

Any destructive action (create, edit, delete, refund) triggers a confirmation prompt. Approve it to proceed. Every action is recorded in the audit log.

Tips

• Start with Free (read-only) to explore, then upgrade to Growth or Pro for write access.
• Review the audit log regularly to see what your agents did.
• Use dry-run to preview an action before committing it.
