# Shopify Admin MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Shopify Admin and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 377 Shopify Admin actions (195 reads, 128 writes and 54 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Shopify Admin credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Shopify Admin's limits and records every call.

[Connect Shopify Admin free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "shopify_admin.products.list",
  intent: "check which Shopify Admin account is connected"
}
# List products · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 377 actions in one signed file
- 195 read look, never change
- 128 write create and update
- 54 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Shopify Admin in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Shopify Admin.
   API key. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `access_token` Shopify Admin API access token
   - `shop_domain` Where your Shopify Admin lives: your shop domain
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "shopify_admin" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "shopify_admin.products.list" }
   # list products · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "shopify_admin.products.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Shopify's own MCP server

## Shopify's MCP server, or actionlake?

Shopify's Dev MCP server runs on your own machine and connects an AI tool to Shopify's developer documentation and API schemas, not to your store's admin data.

It does not reach your Shopify Admin data. actionlake does: the 377 actions on this page, behind the same endpoint as your other systems.

Source: [Shopify's documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/devmcp), checked 22 October 2026.

Top actions

## The Shopify Admin API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 203 of Shopify Admin's 242 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Shopify Admin

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

54 Shopify Admin actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Delete a product `shopify_admin.products.delete`
- Create an application charge `shopify_admin.application_charges.create`
- Delete an order `shopify_admin.orders.delete`
- Delete a customer `shopify_admin.customers.delete`
- Cancel an order `shopify_admin.orders.cancel`
- Delete a theme asset `shopify_admin.assets.delete`
- Create a recurring application charge `shopify_admin.recurring_application_charges.create`
- Delete a price rule `shopify_admin.price_rules.delete`
- Delete a discount code `shopify_admin.discount_codes.delete`
- Create a refund `shopify_admin.refunds.create`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Questions

## The Shopify Admin MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Shopify Admin MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 377 Shopify Admin actions across metafields, orders, products and content, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Shopify.

**Does Shopify have its own MCP server?**

Shopify's Dev MCP server runs on your own machine and connects an AI tool to Shopify's developer documentation and API schemas, not to your store's admin data. (Shopify's documentation, checked 22 October 2026.) It does not reach your Shopify Admin data. actionlake does: the 377 actions on this page, behind the same endpoint as your other systems.

**What do I need to connect Shopify Admin?**

Shopify Admin API access token. Plus your shop domain. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "shopify_admin" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Shopify Admin?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 54 Shopify Admin actions are destructive, including delete a product, create an application charge and delete an order. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Shopify Admin API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Shopify Admin service file: 40 calls per 20 seconds per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (194 Shopify Admin actions can be), which never reaches Shopify Admin.

**What does a Shopify Admin action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (89 Shopify Admin actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Shopify Admin refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Shopify Admin API does it cover?**

The Shopify Admin API 2025-10 at your Shopify Admin instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting (path /admin/api/2025-10). It is built from Shopify Admin's documentation as read on 15 September 2026. 377 actions in 15 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 2.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Shopify Admin data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Shopify Admin credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
