Configure Shopify for the AI Gateway

To allow your users to securely handle authenticated customer account and order requests using their AI clients, you can configure Shopify’s Customer Accounts Model Context Protocol (MCP) server within the JumpCloud AI Gateway.

Prerequisites

• Before configuring specific enterprise applications, we recommend reviewing the Get Started: AI Gateway guide to familiarize yourself with the gateway architecture and core AI concepts (such as MCP servers and AI clients).

Completing Application Setup

Shopify’s Customer Accounts MCP server supports OAuth Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), so no app creation or Client ID and Client Secret are required to connect it to the AI Gateway. Refer to Shopify’s Customer Accounts MCP server to learn more.

note

Your store must have a custom domain configured. The Customer Accounts MCP endpoint is shop-specific and is typically discovered from https://{shopDomain}/.well-known/customer-account-api as https://{shopDomain}/customer/api/mcp.

note

JumpCloud does not currently support a No Auth MCP authentication method. Do not configure Shopify’s public Storefront MCP endpoint (https://{shop}.myshopify.com/api/mcp) in the AI Gateway.

Configuring the Server in JumpCloud

See Adding MCP Servers in Configure AI Gateway Integrations and use the following values to configure this server:

• App: Select Shopify (if you have an existing SSO application or bookmark), or + Add App to create it
• Name: Enter a name, for example Shopify Customer Accounts
• Prefix: Enter a value to prepend to MCP tool names
  • Note: Prefixes must be unique. Maximum 8 characters, letters and numbers only
• URL: https://{shopDomain}/customer/api/mcp (replace {shopDomain} with your store’s custom domain)
• MCP authentication method: OAuth
• Advanced fields: Not required

Your users will now see Shopify listed as an available application when they authenticate their AI clients through the JumpCloud AI Gateway.
