SpritesAdd Sprites to Gemini
Available on Gemini CLI, free and paid, on macOS, Linux and Windows. You need a Sprites account with Shopify already connected — the connector acts on that connection, so Gemini never handles a Shopify credential.
Open the Gemini settings file
Gemini CLI keeps MCP servers in its settings JSON. Use ~/.gemini/settings.json to have Sprites available everywhere, or .gemini/settings.json inside a project to scope it there.
Gemini CLI~/.geminisettings.jsonAdd Sprites under mcpServers
Use httpUrl, not url or command — that is the key Gemini CLI reads for a streamable HTTP endpoint. A url entry is treated as SSE and a command entry as a local process, and neither is what this is.
~/.gemini/settings.json{ "mcpServers": { "sprites": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp" } } }Sign in
Gemini CLI supports OAuth 2.0 for remote servers and discovers the authorization server from the endpoint itself. Restart the CLI, and the first call opens a browser for the Sprites consent screen; the token is stored in ~/.gemini/mcp-oauth-tokens.json.

Type /mcp in the CLI to list every server and the tools it exposes, or run gemini mcp list from a shell to see connection status without opening a session.
Terminalgemini mcp list
Run the first prompt
Ask Gemini this. It routes to a Sprites door, which reads your Shopify account and answers — no account to name, no confirmation to give first.
- With Sprites, which products are profitable after ad cost this month?
- Ask Sprites to list every product in the summer collection with price and inventory.
- Use Sprites to create a collection page for "gifts under $50" and draft it in Shopify.
- Have Sprites rewrite the 20 worst-converting product descriptions.
- With Sprites, build Meta creative from our three best-selling SKUs.
Run `gemini mcp list`, or type /mcp inside the CLI — Sprites should show as connected with its tools listed.
What Gemini can do with Shopify
The same doors, whichever client you are in. The account and the analytics are already Google: Gemini reads Google Ads and GA4 alongside Search Console without leaving the family it belongs to.
Profit after ad cost, per product
The join nobody does by hand: store revenue against what Google, Meta and TikTok spent to get it.
Read the whole catalogue
Every product, variant and collection — uncapped, filterable, and grep-ready when you want to work on it.
Publish collection pages
Real pages in the store, with metadata and internal links, arriving as a draft to approve.
Refresh product copy at scale
Descriptions rewritten against what converts, proposed as a set you review before it lands.
Creative from real products
Ads built from the actual catalogue — price, variant, image — rather than a model's guess at your range.
Store blog without a second tool
Posts drafted into the Shopify blog through the same connector as everything else.
How approvals work here
Gemini renders tool results as text, so a Shopify change comes back written out rather than as a card. Nothing is applied until you approve it, and the approval waits for you in Sprites — open it there and the same run continues.
What it reads
- Products, variants, collections, inventory and pricing
- Orders, revenue and sessions
- Store pages, blog posts and their metadata
- The ad spend attributable to each, from the connected ad accounts
What it can change
- Collection and landing pages, and store blog posts
- Product descriptions and page metadata
- Nothing touches the storefront without an approval
When it does not work in Gemini
Three things go wrong in this client specifically, and each has a one-line fix.
Gemini connects but reports no tools.
The entry is probably using url rather than httpUrl, so the CLI is speaking SSE to a streamable HTTP endpoint. Change the key and restart.
Edits to settings.json do nothing.
The CLI reads its settings at startup. Restart it, then re-check with /mcp.
A project file and your home file disagree.
.gemini/settings.json in the working directory takes precedence. Keep Sprites in one of the two rather than both.
Shopify and Gemini: questions
Which URL do I paste into Gemini?
https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp. There is one endpoint and every client uses it — every OAuth grant is bound to exactly that address, so a variant of it will not be honoured.
Can Gemini change my Shopify account without asking?
Gemini renders tool results as text, so a Shopify change comes back written out rather than as a card. Nothing is applied until you approve it, and the approval waits for you in Sprites — open it there and the same run continues.
Do I need a Shopify API key or developer token?
No. Shopify is connected once inside Sprites through Shopify Admin, and the connector acts on that connection. Gemini never sees a credential for it.
Why Gemini for Shopify specifically?
The account and the analytics are already Google: Gemini reads Google Ads and GA4 alongside Search Console without leaving the family it belongs to.
Do I need a Shopify Partner account?
No. Connect a custom app you create in your own Shopify admin and paste its access token, or use the standard OAuth connect. Neither needs a Partner account.
Can it change prices or inventory?
No. Pricing and inventory are deliberately out of scope. It reads them, and writes only content: pages, posts, descriptions and metadata.

The same Gemini connector reaches every other channel — nothing else to add.
