Features

59 built-in tools + 5 custom tools across 5 domains — Products (15), Orders (17), Customers (9), Inventory (7), Analytics (16)

Standalone CLI — natural domain commands from the terminal without MCP (cob-shopify products list --limit 5, orders get --id ..., etc.)

MCP server — connect to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible AI agent

4 MCP resources (Shop info, Locations, Policies, Currencies)

4 MCP prompts (Health check, Sales report, Inventory risk, Support summary)

Dual transport — stdio (default) + Streamable HTTP

3 auth methods — Static token, OAuth client credentials, OAuth authorization code

Cost tracking — Every response includes Shopify API cost metadata

Rate limiting — Respects Shopify's cost-based throttling

Query caching — Configurable TTL per query type

82% less context bloat — Advertise-and-Activate mode: 1 meta-tool instead of 59 schemas, domains loaded on demand

Config-driven — YAML config, env vars, CLI overrides

Type-safe — Full TypeScript with Zod validation

MCP vs CLI — When to Use What

This project gives you two ways to interact with Shopify. Same tools, same engine, same auth — different interfaces.

What it is	Direct terminal commands	Protocol for AI agents
Who it's for	Developers, scripts, CI/CD	Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents
How to use	`cob-shopify products list --limit 5`	AI calls tools via MCP protocol
Install via	`npm install -g cob-shopify-mcp`	Same npm install, then `claude mcp add`
