MCP server
Shopify MCP server
Shopify maintains official MCP servers, but they focus on developer docs (Shopify Dev MCP) and customer-facing shopping agents (Storefront MCP). For store operations, Modiva hosts a Shopify MCP server with 26 typed tools over the Admin API: products, orders, customers, inventory, discounts, content and ShopifyQL analytics.
The question behind "Shopify MCP server" is usually "can my agent run the store?" That is Admin API territory: updating products, checking orders, adjusting inventory, cutting discount codes. Modiva exposes exactly that surface as typed tools, multi-store, with OAuth per shop and no private app to maintain. Shopify's own MCP servers are complementary: use Dev MCP when you are writing Shopify code, Modiva when the agent is operating the business.

How is this different from Shopify's official MCP servers?
Shopify's official servers target other jobs: the Dev MCP answers documentation and app-development questions, and the Storefront MCP powers shopping assistants for buyers. Modiva's tools work the Admin side (products, orders, customers, inventory, discounts) so an agent can operate the store itself.
Can I connect more than one store?
Yes. Each connection is per-store: you enter the shop domain at connect time, so an agency or multi-brand team can manage several stores from one workspace.
Which operations can an agent perform?
Read and write across products, orders, customers, inventory levels, discounts and content pages, plus ShopifyQL-backed analytics: 26 tools on a current Admin API version.
Is this a public Shopify app I have to install from the App Store?
You authorize Modiva against your store with standard Shopify OAuth from the Modiva dashboard. No custom app development or private-app tokens are involved.
