Shopify MCP connector
The Shopify connector brings your store's orders, products, and customers to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client, so each person can look them up, create them, and update them as themselves, with every action recorded.
-
How it connects. Connects over OAuth. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.
-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases
What teams do with Shopify through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Support
Find a customer's orders while they wait
Search for a Shopify customer by name or email and pull up every order they have placed, so the answer comes during the conversation rather than after it.
-
Support
Cancel or reopen an order on request
When a shopper changes their mind, cancel the Shopify order, or reopen a closed one if it turns out more work is needed, without leaving the chat.
-
Operations
Close out the day's completed orders
List the Shopify orders that are finished, check a few by ID, and close them in one batch so the open queue reflects what is actually left to do.
-
Merchandising
Add new products and fix listings in bulk
Create a Shopify product from a plain description, or update prices, titles, and details across a whole range at once instead of editing each listing by hand.
-
Marketing
Invite customers to activate their accounts
Look up Shopify customers who have ordered but never created an account and generate an activation link for each, ready to drop into an email.
-
Finance
Count orders for the week's report
Ask how many Shopify orders came in over a given period, or how many customers and products the store holds, and get a number to paste into the report.
Try asking
- “Show me open Shopify orders from the last seven days.”
- “How many products were created in Shopify this month?”
- “Which Shopify orders were canceled yesterday, and why?”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Shopify to Claude?
First connect Shopify inside Elaichi. Shopify is one of the few applications where you register an app in your own Shopify admin and bring its client ID and secret to Elaichi once, then approve access on Shopify's own sign-in screen. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and your Shopify store is available in Claude.
Does Shopify work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Shopify is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Shopify once and every client your team uses picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Shopify data?
An agent can look up Shopify orders, products, and customers, search for a customer and list what they have bought, and count orders for a period. It can also create new orders, products, and customers, update or remove them in bulk, cancel, close, or reopen an order, and generate account activation links for customers. Because Shopify offers a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as "list open orders from this week" work better than long paragraphs.
Does connecting Shopify give the AI access to my whole store?
No. Every call to Shopify runs as the person who signed in, so the agent can only see and change what that person's own Shopify staff account allows. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only on orders, but it can never grant more than the person already has in Shopify.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Shopify?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow looking up Shopify orders and customers while blocking bulk deletes, cancellations, or product edits. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT, or any other client at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Shopify connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Shopify through every client at once. If they had shared a Shopify connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you ever want to remove Shopify entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client together.
