Connect Claude to Section Store

There are two ways to connect Claude. Click Claude on the Build with AI line to open our listing in Claude's directory. Or add https://mcp.section.store/mcp by hand as a custom connector. Both end with the same approval in Shopify admin.

Before you start

• Section Store must be installed on your store.
• Claude builds bundles and carts on any plan. Switching them on needs Section Store Plus.

Connect from Claude's directory

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store.
2. Find the Build with AI line on Home, Bundles or Cart Drawer.
3. Click Claude. Section Store's listing in Claude's directory opens in a new tab.
4. Follow Claude's steps to connect. Claude then opens our sign-in page.
5. Finish with the steps under "Approve the connection".

Connect by hand

Use this if the listing doesn't open, or you prefer to paste the URL.

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store.
2. On the Build with AI line, click ChatGPT. The AI assistants page opens. It serves every assistant, not only ChatGPT.
3. Click Copy next to Server URL. You see URL copied.
4. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
5. Click Add custom connector and paste the URL.
6. Claude opens our sign-in page. Finish with the steps below.

Approve the connection

1. The page reads Connect Claude to Section Store. Enter Your store. Your myshopify address, admin URL or store domain all work.
2. Click Continue. Shopify admin opens.
3. Read the list of what Claude can do, then click Connect Claude.
4. Claude opens again, connected. You may see Going back to your assistant… first.

Stay in the same browser for these steps, and finish within 15 minutes.

Check it works

Ask Claude: "Show me my Section Store bundles." Claude lists your bundles.

In Section Store, the Build with AI line now shows 1 connected · Manage. Claude is listed under Connected assistants.

If it doesn't work

• "This sign-in started in another browser": Claude opened a different browser from the one you approved in. Start again from Claude, and approve in the browser where the sign-in opened.
• "We couldn't find Section Store on that store": paste the address from your Shopify admin's browser bar, or install Section Store first.
• You see no custom connector option in Claude: check Claude's help pages. We can't change what your Claude plan includes.
• Claude doesn't use Section Store: name it in your request, like "Use Section Store to list my carts".
