Shopify Dev MCP - Gemini CLI Extension

This extension connects the Gemini CLI to the Shopify Dev MCP server, giving Gemini access to Shopify's dev docs, API schemas, and development guidance. Ask questions and build on top of Shopify APIs without leaving your terminal.

What you get:

Search Shopify docs and API schemas on the fly
Generate code for GraphQL Admin API, Storefront API, Functions, Liquid, and more
Validate components, GraphQL, and theme files to ensure they're free of hallucinations
Build Shopify apps faster with context-aware assistance

Requirements

Gemini CLI
Node.js 18+

Installation

gemini extensions install https://github.com/shopify/dev-mcp-gemini-cli

We also recommend installing the Shopify CLI to make it easier to build and test your app.

Usage

Once installed, you can give Gemini questions and tasks like:

"Create a validation Function requiring minimum 5 items in cart before checkout."
"How do I create a product using the Admin API?"
"Show me an example of a webhook subscription."
"What fields are available on the Order object?"

The MCP server automatically searches Shopify's documentation to provide accurate responses.

Resources

Config for your environment

Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.
