Use with Claude (MCP)

Connect ShopClaw to Claude Desktop or Claude Code and search Shopify products with natural language — no code needed.

Claude Desktop

Edit your config file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopclaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tsx", "https://www.shopclaw.dev/mcp/server.ts"],
      "env": {
        "SHOPCLAW_API_KEY": "sc_your_api_key",
        "SHOPCLAW_API_URL": "https://www.shopclaw.dev"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving. You'll see a hammer icon with ShopClaw tools available.

Available MCP Tools

search_products

Search Shopify products with filters for vendor, price range, and result limit.

Parameters: query (required), limit, vendor, price_min, price_max

get_product_fields

Get available searchable and filterable fields in the product index.

Example Prompts

Once connected, just chat naturally with Claude. Here are some things you can ask:

“Find me wireless headphones under $50 on Shopify”

Searches products with price filter, returns top results with links and images

“What Nike products are available on Shopify stores?”

Searches with vendor filter for Nike branded products

“Compare prices for "yoga mat" across different Shopify stores”

Returns multiple results so you can compare pricing across stores

“Search for organic coffee beans and show me the cheapest options”

Claude will search and sort/analyze results for you

“Find trending pet accessories under $30 and summarize the top 5”

Claude searches, then uses its own reasoning to summarize findings

“Are there any Shopify stores selling mechanical keyboards? Show me what's available with prices.”

Open-ended product discovery with structured output

How it works

When you ask Claude about Shopify products, it automatically calls ShopClaw's search_products tool via MCP. The tool sends a request to the ShopClaw API using your API key, searches across 364M+ indexed products, and returns results to Claude — who then formats and presents them in a natural, conversational way. Each search counts as one request against your monthly plan.
