# StoreInspect MCP overview

> Connect AI agents to Shopify store intelligence with the hosted StoreInspect MCP server.

Use the StoreInspect Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to connect AI clients to StoreInspect's Shopify store and contact intelligence.

The hosted MCP server lets tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Codex CLI, Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Code search StoreInspect through OAuth instead of API keys.

## What you can do

* Search Shopify stores by ICP filters such as country, category, apps, pixels, themes, Shopify Plus, traffic tiers, revenue tiers, Meta ads, and contact availability.
* Enrich known Shopify domains from the StoreInspect index.
* Search preview-safe decision-maker contacts.
* Reveal selected contact channels after explicit credit-spend confirmation.
* Check current plan, API quota, search-row quota, and shared contact credits.

## How MCP differs from the REST API

The REST API uses server-side API keys and is best for custom backend integrations.

MCP uses OAuth and is best for AI clients. Users sign in to StoreInspect, approve requested scopes, and the AI client receives an access token for the MCP server. You do not create or paste StoreInspect API keys into AI clients.

<Info>
  StoreInspect MCP returns data from StoreInspect's existing store intelligence index. It does not scan brand-new domains during the request.

## Endpoint

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.storeinspect.com/mcp
```

When your AI client asks for authentication, choose OAuth.

## Account management

Manage connected MCP clients from the StoreInspect dashboard:

```text theme={null}
https://storeinspect.com/dashboard/settings/mcp
```

From there, you can copy the MCP configuration, view connected OAuth clients, and revoke client access.
