In this video, I show how to connect Cursor to Shopify’s new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to dramatically improve AI-assisted Shopify development. With MCP, your AI editor gets direct access to Shopify’s live documentation, schemas, and APIs — resulting in more accurate code, better GraphQL queries, and fewer mistakes. 🔎 SEO Description In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to connect Cursor, an AI-powered code editor, to Shopify’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. The MCP server provides AI tools with real-time access to Shopify documentation, API schemas, and developer resources — enabling more accurate AI-generated code and fewer hallucinated fields. We cover what MCP servers are, why they’re becoming essential in AI-assisted development, and how Shopify developers can use MCP with Cursor to speed up GraphQL queries, app development, and theme work. This video is ideal for Shopify developers, app builders, and anyone using AI coding assistants in modern development workflows. 🔥 Bonuses 🚀 Free Pagespeed Optimization Course https://www.codingwithjan.com/shopify-resources 🤝 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-frey/ 📧 Contact: https://codingwithjan.com 🎥 PS.
