Question 1

What does the Shopify MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Shopify integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Shopify to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. E-commerce automation, inventory management, order processing, and online store workflow orchestration. It lets agents call Shopify actions like List products, Get product, Create product, and Update product without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Shopify actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Shopify MCP connector exposes 10 scoped actions including List products, Get product, Create product, and Update product. Each action is mapped to a specific Shopify OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Shopify?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Shopify. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Shopify using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Shopify controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Shopify integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Shopify tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.

Question 5
