Shopify MCP Integration Guide

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers connect Claude to Shopify data and operations. There are three deployment patterns: Shopify Dev MCP (developer-centric), Storefront MCP (merchant-centric), and custom MCPs (specialized workflows). This guide covers setup, configuration, implementation patterns, and agentic commerce use cases.
