Shopify AI Toolkit - AI Agent Plugin

Connect your AI tools to the Shopify platform.

The Toolkit gives your agent access to Shopify's documentation, API schemas, and code validation for building apps, and store management through the CLI's store execute capabilities. For more info, see the docs.

Install

For Claude Code: In your terminal, run claude plugin install:

claude plugin install shopify-ai-toolkit@claude-plugins-official

For OpenAI Codex: In your terminal, run codex plugin add:
```
codex plugin add shopify@openai-curated
```

For Antigravity CLI: In your terminal, install the Shopify plugin:

agy plugin install https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit

For Cursor: In Cursor Chat, add the Shopify plugin:
```
/add-plugin shopify
```

For Hermes: In your terminal, download the install script and run it:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit/main/.hermes-plugin/install.sh -o /tmp/shopify-hermes-install.sh
bash /tmp/shopify-hermes-install.sh

For OpenClaw: In your terminal, install the package from npm:
```
openclaw plugins install npm:@shopify/ai-toolkit
```
Alternatively, install from ClawHub with openclaw plugins install clawhub:@shopify/ai-toolkit, or directly from the git mirror with openclaw plugins install git:github.com/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit. The plugin is recognized as a native OpenClaw plugin and a compatible Agent Plugins bundle.
For Pi: In your terminal, install the package from npm:
```
pi install npm:@shopify/ai-toolkit
```
Alternatively, install directly from the git mirror:
```
pi install git:github.com/Shopify/Shopify-AI-Toolkit
```
For VS Code:
1. Ensure the Agent plugins preview is enabled in your VS Code settings.
2. Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux) and run:
```
Chat: Install Plugin From Source
```
3. When prompted, enter the repository URL:
```
https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit
```

What you get

Docs and API schemas: Search Shopify's documentation and API schemas without leaving your editor
Code validation: Validate GraphQL queries, Liquid templates, and UI extensions against Shopify's schemas
Store management: Manage your Shopify store through the CLI's store execute capabilities
Auto-updates: The plugin updates automatically as new capabilities are released

Telemetry

The skill scripts (scripts/search_docs.mjs, scripts/validate.mjs, scripts/log_skill_use.mjs) send a usage event to https://shopify.dev/mcp/usage on each invocation. The payload includes:

tool name, skill name and version
model name, client name, and client version (when supplied as flags)
the search query text and search response or error text (for search_docs.mjs)
the validation result, the validated code when present, and validator-specific context such as API name, extension target, filename, file type, theme path, and file list (for validate.mjs)
artifact ID and revision number (when supplied)
the routing-table topic in use — from --topic for log_skill_use.mjs, and for search_docs.mjs from --api on a scoped search or --topic on an unscoped one
the user's most recent message verbatim (truncated to 2000 chars), when the agent passes it base64-encoded via --user-prompt-base64 to validate.mjs (for topics with a validator) or log_skill_use.mjs (for topics without). Encoding the prompt keeps untrusted message text out of shell syntax. Exactly one designated capture point per topic — search_docs.mjs does not carry user_prompt.
the agent's sessionId and toolUseId (when supplied via --session-id / --tool-use-id) so analytics can join script events with the hook's skill_invocation event for the same activation.

The plugin also registers a PostToolUse hook (hooks/track-telemetry.sh, .ps1) on Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. It emits a skill_invocation event to the same endpoint whenever the agent calls the host Skill tool with a Shopify AI Toolkit skill or reads a known SKILL.md under the running hook's own plugin or standalone-skill install root. The root is derived from the hook script's physical location, so unrelated repositories that merely mimic an install-path suffix do not trigger telemetry. The payload includes:

skill name, skill version (when recoverable from the install path)
trigger (skill-tool or skill-md-read)
detected client (claude-code / cursor / copilot-cli / vscode / vscode-insiders)
hook source (plugin or skill)
the agent's sessionId and toolUseId (when supplied)
on Claude Code only: the user's most recent prompt verbatim (truncated to 2000 chars), captured out-of-band via a UserPromptSubmit hook that stashes it locally and attached here only when a skill activates. Honors OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION; other hosts carry no prompt on this surface.

The same script is also injected into each generated SKILL.md as a hooks: frontmatter block, so Claude Code emits the same event when skills are installed standalone (e.g. via npx skills add Shopify/shopify-ai-toolkit) without the plugin. Events from each source are labeled with hookSource and carry sessionId + toolUseId inside the body's parameters object, so downstream consumers can dedup on (sessionId, toolUseId) when both surfaces are installed.

The hook does not report tool inputs, file contents, generated code, or other tool arguments. On Claude Code it can additionally attach user_prompt (the most recent prompt verbatim) via the UserPromptSubmit stash, but only when a Shopify skill activates. On other hosts (Cursor, Copilot) the hook carries no prompt and user_prompt capture happens on the script surfaces only (validate.mjs for topics with a validator, log_skill_use.mjs for topics without). See hooks/README.md for full coverage details.

Opting out

Telemetry is on by default. Opting out applies to every surface at once — skill scripts, the MCP server, and the hooks — and also stops local capture (no prompt is stashed to disk).

There are two ways to opt out. Either is sufficient on its own.

1. A user-level opt-out file (recommended). This is the only method that reliably works everywhere, because it does not depend on the agent passing your shell environment through to the processes it spawns:

mkdir -p ~/.config/shopify-ai-toolkit && touch ~/.config/shopify-ai-toolkit/opt-out

The file is checked at:

Platform	Path
Linux / macOS	`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/shopify-ai-toolkit/opt-out`, else `~/.config/shopify-ai-toolkit/opt-out`
macOS (also)	`~/Library/Application Support/shopify-ai-toolkit/opt-out`
Windows	`%APPDATA%\shopify-ai-toolkit\opt-out`

An empty file opts you out — the filename is the signal. Writing false, 0, no, or off into it means "present, but do not opt me out", which is useful if the file is managed by a dotfiles repo. Set SHOPIFY_AI_TOOLKIT_OPT_OUT_FILE to point every surface at a different absolute path.

2. An environment variable.

export OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=true

DO_NOT_TRACK=1 (donottrack.sh) is honored as well.

Environment variables only reach a telemetry surface if the process emitting it inherits your exported environment. Several hosts spawn skill scripts, hooks, MCP child processes, and sub-agents from non-interactive subshells that do not — Hermes' terminal tool, Codex's exec mode, and GUI-launched MCP servers among them. If you use one of those, use the file.

Opt-out is monotone. Any signal that says "opted out" wins, and nothing can turn telemetry back on for that process. In particular, a wrapper script or CI image exporting OPT_OUT_INSTRUMENTATION=false cannot override the file you created.

Other install methods

If your platform doesn't support plugins, you can install agent skills or the Dev MCP server directly. For instructions, see shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/ai-toolkit.
