Shopify + AI agents

Let your AI agent read your Shopify store, safely

“Where is order 1042?” “What’s low on stock?” Your agent answers from live store data, and your Admin API token never leaves MoltenRock Connect on your Mac.

The short answer

MoltenRock Connect lets an AI agent read your Shopify store without holding your Admin API token. You add a read-scoped token from a Shopify custom app once; your agent asks Connect for orders, a customer and their orders, products, stock levels, refunds and tracking, and gets answers. Customer names and addresses arrive as tokens. On Shopify, agents can read but not change anything.

The problem

A Shopify admin token is the keys to the shop

  • Admin tokens are powerful
    A token with write scopes can edit orders, products and customers. In an agent’s config, it is one injection away.
  • Customer data everywhere
    Names, emails and addresses copied into prompts and chat histories.
  • Support is slow
    Without access, the agent can’t answer “where is my order?”; with full access, it can do too much.

How MoltenRock handles it

Read access, and nothing else

  • Orders and customers
    Look up orders, a customer, and that customer’s orders.
  • Products and stock
    Check a product and its stock levels.
  • Refunds and tracking
    See refunds on an order and its tracking numbers.
  • Tokens for people
    Customer names and addresses reach the agent as tokens, not real values.

Stays on your Mac

  • Your Shopify token, inside Connect

Questions

What people ask first

Can the agent edit orders or refund on Shopify?

No. On Shopify, Connect offers read actions only. The Human Queue, where agents propose changes you approve, covers Stripe first.

Which Shopify token do I need?

An Admin API access token from a custom app in your store, with read scopes. The Shopify card in Connect lists what it expects.

Does it work with several stores?

Yes. Add each store as its own platform in Connect.

What does it cost?

Connect is free for two platforms. All 31 platforms are $9.99 once with Connect Pro, or included in MoltenRock Pro.
