shopline-mcp 0.1.0

MCP server for Shopline Open API — 140+ tools for orders, products, customers, promotions, and analytics

shopline-mcp

MCP server for the Shopline Open API. Exposes 140+ tools for querying and managing orders, products, customers, promotions, analytics, and store settings from your Shopline store via Claude.

Installation

Clone the repo and install in a virtualenv:

git clone https://github.com/tzangms/shoplinemcp.git
cd shoplinemcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

This installs the shopline-mcp command into your virtualenv.

Get a Shopline API token

In your Shopline admin panel:

Settings → Staff Settings → API Auth → Generate

Copy the token — you'll need it for the config below.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) and add an entry to mcpServers. You must use the absolute path to the shopline-mcp binary inside your virtualenv (Claude Desktop does not activate venvs):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shopline": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/your/.venv/bin/shopline-mcp",
      "env": {
        "SHOPLINE_API_TOKEN": "your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

To find the absolute path, run which shopline-mcp while the venv is activated.

Quit Claude Desktop completely (Cmd+Q) and reopen it. The Shopline tools should now be available.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio shopline \
  -e SHOPLINE_API_TOKEN=your_token \
  -- /absolute/path/to/your/.venv/bin/shopline-mcp

Tools

The server exposes 140+ tools grouped into these categories:

• Orders & Sales — search, detail, fulfillments, transactions, cancel, returns, deliveries, conversations, reviews
• Products & Inventory — search, detail, variants, inventory, write operations, purchase orders
• Customers — info, orders, groups, store credits, membership tiers, member points, custom fields
• Promotions — promotions, flash prices, affiliate campaigns, gifts, addon products, subscriptions
• Categories — category tree, detail, write operations
• Store settings — merchant, payment, delivery options, channels, taxes, staff, tokens, agents
• Analytics — RFM, repurchase, geo, inventory turnover, category sales, promotion ROI, customer lifecycle, slow movers

Run claude mcp list (Claude Code) or check the tool picker in Claude Desktop to see the full list once configured.

API

This server uses the Shopline Open API at https://open.shopline.io/v1. It works with stores on shoplineapp.com (Taiwan / Asia region).

Troubleshooting

Claude Desktop doesn't show the tools — verify the command path is absolute and the binary exists (ls -l /path/to/.venv/bin/shopline-mcp). Check Claude Desktop logs at ~/Library/Logs/Claude/.

Server runs but tool calls fail with auth errors — confirm SHOPLINE_API_TOKEN is set in the env block of the config (not just in your shell), and that the token has the required scopes in Shopline admin.

Test the server manually:

SHOPLINE_API_TOKEN=your_token /path/to/.venv/bin/shopline-mcp

It will wait on stdin (correct — MCP uses stdio). Ctrl+C to exit.
