— name: shopify-automation description: "Automate Shopify tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): products, orders, customers, inventory, collections. Always search tools first for current schemas." risk: unknown source: community date_added: "2026-02-27" — # Shopify Automation via Rube MCP Automate Shopify operations through Composio's Shopify toolkit via Rube MCP. ## Prerequisites – Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available) – Active Shopify connection via `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `shopify` – Always call `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` first to get current tool schemas ## Setup **Get Rube MCP**: Add `https://rube.app/mcp` as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works. 1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming `RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS` responds 2. Call `RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS` with toolkit `shopify` 3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete Shopify OAuth 4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows ## Core Workflows ### 1. Manage Products **When to use**: User wants to list, search, create, or manage products **Tool sequence**: 1. `SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS` / `SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_PAGINATED` – List products [Optional] 2. `SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCT` – Get single product details [Optional] 3. `SHOPIFY_BULK_CREATE_PRODUCTS` – Create products in bulk [Optional] 4. `SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_COUNT` – Get product count [Optional] **Key parameters**: – `product_id`: Product ID for single retrieval – `title`: Product title – `vendor`: Product vendor – `status`: 'active', 'draft', or 'archived' **Pitfalls**: – Paginated results require cursor-based pagination for large catalogs – Product variants are nested within the product object ### 2. Manage Orders **When to use**: User wants to list, search, or inspect orders **Tool sequence**: 1. `SHOPIFY_GET_ORDERS_WITH_FILTERS` – List orders with filters [Required] 2. `SHOPIFY_GET_ORDER` – Get single order details [Optional] 3. `SHOPIFY_GET_FULFILLMENT` – Get fulfillment details [Optional] 4. `SHOPIFY_GET_FULFILLMENT_EVENTS` – Track fulfillment events [Optional] **Key parameters**: – `status`: Order status filter ('any', 'open', 'closed', 'cancelled') – `financial_status`: Payment status filter – `fulfillment_status`: Fulfillment status filter – `order_id`: Order ID for single retrieval – `created_at_min`/`created_at_max`: Date range filters **Pitfalls**: – Order IDs are numeric; use string format for API calls – Default order listing may not include all statuses; specify 'any' for all ### 3. Manage Customers **When to use**: User wants to list or search customers **Tool sequence**: 1. `SHOPIFY_GET_ALL_CUSTOMERS` – List all customers [Required] **Key parameters**: – `limit`: Number of customers per page – `since_id`: Pagination cursor **Pitfalls**: – Customer data includes order count and total spent – Large customer lists require pagination ### 4. Manage Collections **When to use**: User wants to manage product collections **Tool sequence**: 1. `SHOPIFY_GET_SMART_COLLECTIONS` – List smart collections [Optional] 2. `SHOPIFY_GET_SMART_COLLECTION_BY_ID` – Get collection details [Optional] 3. `SHOPIFY_CREATE_SMART_COLLECTIONS` – Create a smart collection [Optional] 4. `SHOPIFY_ADD_PRODUCT_TO_COLLECTION` – Add product to collection [Optional] 5. `SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_IN_COLLECTION` – List products in collection [Optional] **Key parameters**: – `collection_id`: Collection ID – `product_id`: Product ID for adding to collection – `rules`: Smart collection rules for automatic inclusion **Pitfalls**: – Smart collections auto-populate based on rules; manual collections use custom collections API – Collection count endpoints provide approximate counts ### 5. Manage Inventory **When to use**: User wants to check or manage inventory levels **Tool sequence**: 1. `SHOPIFY_GET_INVENTORY_LEVELS` / `SHOPIFY_RETRIEVES_A_LIST_OF_INVENTORY_LEVELS` – Check stock [Required] 2. `SHOPIFY_LIST_LOCATION` – List store locations [Optional] **Key parameters**: – `inventory_item_ids`: Inventory item IDs to check – `location_ids`: Location IDs to filter by **Pitfalls**: – Inventory is tracked per variant per location – Location IDs are required for multi-location stores ## Common Patterns ### Pagination – Use `limit` and `page_info` cursor for paginated results – Check response for `next` link header – Continue until no more pages available ### GraphQL Queries For advanced operations: “` 1. Call SHOPIFY_GRAPH_QL_QUERY with custom query 2. Parse response from data object “` ## Known Pitfalls **API Versioning**: – Shopify REST API has versioned endpoints – Some features require specific API versions **Rate Limits**: – REST API: 2 requests/second for standard plans – GraphQL: 1000 cost points per second ## Quick Reference | Task | Tool Slug | Key Params | |——|———–|————| | List products | SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS | (filters) | | Get product | SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCT | product_id | | Products paginated | SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_PAGINATED | limit, page_info | | Bulk create | SHOPIFY_BULK_CREATE_PRODUCTS | products | | Product count | SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_COUNT | (none) | | List orders | SHOPIFY_GET_ORDERS_WITH_FILTERS | status, financial_status | | Get order | SHOPIFY_GET_ORDER | order_id | | List customers | SHOPIFY_GET_ALL_CUSTOMERS | limit | | Shop details | SHOPIFY_GET_SHOP_DETAILS | (none) | | Validate access | SHOPIFY_VALIDATE_ACCESS | (none) | | Smart collections | SHOPIFY_GET_SMART_COLLECTIONS | (none) | | Products in collection | SHOPIFY_GET_PRODUCTS_IN_COLLECTION | collection_id | | Inventory levels | SHOPIFY_GET_INVENTORY_LEVELS | inventory_item_ids | | Locations | SHOPIFY_LIST_LOCATION | (none) | | Fulfillment | SHOPIFY_GET_FULFILLMENT | order_id, fulfillment_id | | GraphQL | SHOPIFY_GRAPH_QL_QUERY | query | | Bulk query | SHOPIFY_BULK_QUERY_OPERATION | query | ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. ## Limitations – Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. – Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. – Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
