Shopify MCP for GitHub Copilot: setup in two minutes

1. Open the MCP configuration

   Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and choose Workspace or Global. Workspace writes .vscode/mcp.json, which is worth committing so the team shares the same connector; Global keeps it to you across every project.

2. Add Sprites as an HTTP server

   The top-level key is servers, not mcpServers, and a remote endpoint needs an explicit type of http. This is the shape VS Code and Copilot share.

   .vscode/mcp.json

   {
     "servers": {
       "sprites": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

3. Authenticate

   VS Code shows an Auth action above the server entry once the file is saved. Run it, sign in to Sprites in the browser window that opens, and approve the scopes.

4. Switch Copilot Chat to agent mode

   MCP tools are only offered to the agent. Pick Agent from the mode dropdown in Copilot Chat, then open the tool picker and confirm Sprites is listed.

Shopify publishes its own connector in Claude’s directory, approved from your Shopify admin. It creates and updates products, collections and inventory, creates percentage-off discount codes, and reads orders, customers and analytics. It cannot edit a live theme, change store settings, issue refunds or cancel orders, and batch status changes stop at 50 items. Separately, every store exposes a public Storefront MCP endpoint for shoppers’ agents.

If you want to update products, stock and discount codes from a chat, Shopify’s own connector does exactly that. Use Sprites when the job is search and content: SEO fields across the whole catalogue, collection pages and blog posts written to rank, and product copy in the store’s voice — with nothing touching prices or inventory, and every change approved first.

• With Sprites, which of our products are missing SEO titles or meta descriptions?
• 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 product descriptions in the summer collection.
• With Sprites, build Meta creative from our three best-selling SKUs.

Open the Copilot Chat tool picker in agent mode; Sprites appears with its tools, each one toggleable.
