An MCP server for Shopify store data: the Shopify store database MCP
https://www.storeradar.io/mcp
Which one
Which Shopify MCP server do you need?
It depends on the data you want. Shopify's own servers read a store's catalog, and Admin API servers read your own store. StoreRadar reads the market.
| Goal | Server | What it reads |
|---|---|---|
| Build a shopping assistant for one store | Shopify Storefront Catalog MCP | That store's public catalog, from an endpoint on the store's own domain. |
| Search products across Shopify merchants | Shopify Global Catalog MCP | Products from many Shopify merchants, for shopping agents. |
| Manage your own store: orders, customers, inventory | An Admin API MCP server | Your store's private admin data. It needs your store's authorization. |
| Find and filter Shopify stores across the market (prospecting, market sizing) | StoreRadar MCP | A database of 2,766,144 live Shopify stores: tech stack, apps, country and catalog size. |
Why
Why not just ask Claude or ChatGPT?
Because it has nothing to read. Ask any assistant which German stores run Klaviyo and it answers from training data, because no web page lists them.
- No list of Shopify stores to read. It answers from memory.
- 2,766,144 crawled stores to query.
- No way to filter by theme, app or catalog size.
- Filter by tech stack, app, theme, country and catalog size.
- No way to tell a live store from one that closed last year.
- Every row dated: first seen, and last confirmed live.

Connection check, not metered
Connect
How do I connect StoreRadar to my AI assistant?
-
1. Create a free StoreRadar account
Open https://www.storeradar.io/sign-in, enter your email, and paste the six digit code we send back. No password, no card.
-
2. Add the StoreRadar MCP server to your client
Point your client at https://www.storeradar.io/mcp. Claude.ai and ChatGPT sign you in with OAuth. Claude Code and Cursor take a bearer token from your StoreRadar API tokens page.
-
3. Check the connection
Ask your assistant to run the health tool. It answers ok and reports whether this account receives unmasked store data.
-
4. Ask your first question
Try: find Shopify stores in Germany running Klaviyo with more than 200 products.
Start with step 1: create your free account in the same browser you will connect from. Signing in there first turns your client's consent screen into one click.
Endpoint (every client)
https://www.storeradar.io/mcpClaude.ai
Free plan included: it allows one custom connector. Also Pro, Max and Team.
- Open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the endpoint as the server URL.
- Confirm, then sign in to StoreRadar when the consent screen appears.
ChatGPT
Paid plans only, in the web app, with Developer mode switched on.
- Open Settings, then Apps and connectors, then Advanced.
- Turn on Developer mode.
- Back in Apps and connectors, choose Create, and paste the endpoint as the MCP server URL.
- Sign in to StoreRadar when prompted.
On free ChatGPT? OpenAI does not offer custom connectors there yet. Two paths that work today: the StoreRadar web app, free with the same anonymized results, or Claude.ai, which allows one custom connector on its free plan.
Claude Code
One command. Take your token from your API tokens page and swap it in for YOUR_TOKEN.
claude mcp add --transport http storeradar https://www.storeradar.io/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"Cursor
Use the install link if Cursor is on this machine, or paste the configuration by hand.
Nothing happened? The link needs Cursor installed. Add this to your
mcp.json instead:
{
"mcpServers": {
"storeradar": {
"url": "https://www.storeradar.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
}
}
}
}Any other MCP client
The server speaks streamable HTTP and accepts either an OAuth token or a bearer token
in the Authorization header. Point any compliant client at
https://www.storeradar.io/mcp. If your client
fetches instructions for itself, send it to
/agents.md,
which is the same guide in plain text.
Browsing stores rather than asking about them? The Chrome extension shows the same record for the store in your active tab, on the same free account.
Connect for free. Unmask when it earns its keep.
Connecting costs nothing and returns anonymized results. One plan turns on real domains and contacts, in your assistant and everywhere else.
Unmask everything
StoreRadar Annual
$399/yr
- ✓Real domains, emails and phone numbers in every tool response.
- ✓Every matching row, with no privacy floor. Counts stay exact up to 10,000 (larger segments still report as "10,000+").
- ✓Verified email filtering, deliverability checked.
- ✓5 times the per tool rate limits.
- ✓Everything outside MCP too: a fresh full database export any day of the year.
Free accounts keep all 5 tools, with domains and contacts anonymized. A masked response carries an upgrade link, so your assistant can tell you exactly which question needed the paid tier instead of failing silently.
Everything you need to know
The questions people ask before they paste that URL into their assistant.
Is this Shopify's official MCP server?
No. StoreRadar is independent and not affiliated with Shopify. Shopify publishes its own MCP servers: Storefront Catalog MCP reads one store's public catalog, and Global Catalog MCP searches products across Shopify merchants. Community Admin API MCP servers read your own store's orders, customers and inventory, with your store's authorization. The StoreRadar MCP server does a different job: it searches a database of Shopify stores, so you can see which stores exist, what they run and where they are.
How is this different from StoreInspect's MCP?
StoreInspect also sells Shopify store data and also ships an MCP server, from $49 a month with separate export quotas and reveal credits. The difference is shape, not category: StoreRadar is free to connect with anonymized results, and the paid tier is one annual price that also includes the full database as a file. Compare the whole field on our ecommerce store databases page, where every figure is dated and sourced.
What do I get free, and what does paying add?
A free account gives you all 5 tools with results anonymized: domains and contacts masked, segments smaller than 25 stores returned as 'fewer than 25' with no rows, counts capped above 10,000, and no free text domain search or verified email filters. Everything else is real. StoreRadar Annual returns real domains, emails and phone numbers, drops the row floor, adds verified email filtering, and multiplies every rate limit by 5.
Is my data safe, and what can these tools touch?
The tools are read only. They can search and read the public store database and nothing else: they cannot change your account, start a purchase, or reach any other part of StoreRadar. We record which account made a call so we can apply your rate limits, and we do not send your prompts anywhere. Revoke a connected assistant at any time from your API tokens page.
Which clients does it work with?
Any MCP client that speaks streamable HTTP. Verified as of September 2026: Claude.ai, including one custom connector on the free plan; ChatGPT on paid plans with Developer mode enabled; Claude Code; and Cursor. Other clients need only the endpoint and either an OAuth sign in or a bearer token.
