Connect Cursor, Claude Code or another MCP client to Section Store

Add a remote MCP server in your client with the URL https://mcp.section.store/mcp. Your client then opens our sign-in page in the browser. There is no API key or token to paste, and no package to install.

Before you start

• Section Store must be installed on your store.
• Your client must support remote MCP servers over HTTP (Streamable HTTP) and OAuth sign-in with PKCE.
• A client that only takes a fixed API key or token can't connect.
• The client builds bundles and carts on any plan. Switching them on needs Section Store Plus.

Copy the server URL

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store.
2. Find the Build with AI line on Home, Bundles or Cart Drawer.
3. Click ChatGPT. The AI assistants page opens. It serves every assistant, not only ChatGPT. If an assistant is already connected, Manage opens the same page.
4. Click Copy next to Server URL. You see URL copied.

Add it in your client

Add a remote MCP server with that URL. Your client's docs show where. Each client has its own settings or config file.

Approve the connection

1. Your client opens our sign-in page in your browser. It reads Connect [name] to Section Store. The name is the one your client gives itself.
2. Enter Your store. Your myshopify address, admin URL or store domain all work.
3. Click Continue. Shopify admin opens.
4. Read the list of what the client can do, then click Connect [name].
5. The browser hands back to your client. You may see Going back to your assistant… first.

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

What you may see

• Next you go back to 127.0.0.1: normal for apps on your computer, like Claude Code. You may see localhost instead.
• Next you go back to cursor://: normal for apps that sign in through their own address, like Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf. Your browser may ask to open the app.
• Connect Cursor or Grok Bot to Section Store: Cursor's cloud agents and Grok Bot share one address, so we can't tell them apart.
• We don't know this app: a yellow warning. The sign-in returns to a website we don't know. Continue only if you added this app yourself a moment ago.

Check it works

Ask your client to list your Section Store bundles. Its tool list should show names like get_store, update_bundle and update_cart.

If it doesn't work

• Opening the URL in a browser shows a blank or error page: that's normal. It isn't a web page. Paste it into your client.
• The client asks for a token: it doesn't support OAuth for this server. Use a client that does.
• "The assistant sent a sign-in request we can't use": remove the server from your client and add it again. If it keeps failing, the client may not support our sign-in.
• A tool is missing: we don't push tool updates to clients. Restart the client or reconnect the server.
