Common questions

Is Shopbuddy safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SHOPBUDDY_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

Shop Buddy

Let your AI coding agent change your Shopify theme safely. Every edit lands on an unpublished staging theme. Shop Buddy validates it with Theme Check, screenshots before/after on mobile and desktop with a plain-language summary of what changed, and you approve with one tap. Rollback is one tap. The live theme is never edited directly.

Site and one-click install: https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/install

# Claude Code (hosted MCP, signs in through your browser)

claude mcp add --transport http shopbuddy https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp

Claude Code plugin (adds the skill too)

claude plugin marketplace add tmill313/shopbuddy-plugin claude plugin install shopbuddy@shopbuddy-marketplace

Codex

codex mcp add shopbuddy --url https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp

Local CLI (no account needed for local mode)

npx shopbuddy

Claude (web/desktop) and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with https://getshopbuddy.vercel.app/api/mcp. The agent opens a browser tab; sign in or create an account there and click Allow. No keys.

How it works

shopbuddy_start_change duplicates the live theme into a staging theme and pulls it into a server-side working copy.
The agent reads, searches and writes files, runs Theme Check with shopbuddy_validate, then shopbuddy_push_preview uploads to staging and captures before/after screenshots, each visual change attributed to its section.
shopbuddy_submit and shopbuddy_request_publish hand the store owner a one-tap approval link. Owners can opt a store into trusted publishing so low-risk changes publish on request, always logged and one tap from shopbuddy_rollback.
