### Description (declared)

# shopify-forecast-mcp

> ⚠️ **v0.1.0 Alpha** — Early release. API surface may change before v0.2. Feedback welcome: [open an issue](https://github.com/mcostigliola321/shopify-forecast-mcp/issues).

Merchant-native MCP server that connects Google's TimesFM 2.5 time-series foundation model to your Shopify store — so your AI assistant can answer "what does next month look like?" with a real forecast grounded in your order history.

No dashboards, no exports, no per-store training. Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI client.

***

## Why

Shopify has four official MCP servers, all buyer-facing or developer-facing. None serve merchant operations: forecasting, demand planning, promo analysis, anomaly detection.

Existing third-party tools either use weak models (moving averages, Prophet) or lock insights inside closed SaaS dashboards. This one:

- Runs **TimesFM 2.5** (Google's 200M-param foundation model) — state of the art on the GIFT-Eval retail benchmark
- Pulls directly from **Shopify Admin GraphQL** with bulk operations, refund-aware normalization, multi-currency, and cost-based rate limiting
- Returns **markdown tables with confidence bands** that render natively in your MCP client
- Ships as a single `uvx` command — zero manual Python setup
- Is **MIT licensed, free forever**

***

## Quick start

Three steps to a working forecast in under 5 minutes:

### 1. Install `uv` (once)

```bash
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex
```

### 2. Get a Shopify Admin API access token

Follow [docs/SETUP.md](docs/SETUP.md) to create a custom app, enable the required scopes (`read_orders`, `read_all_orders`, `read_products`, `read_inventory`), and generate an access token.

### 3. Add to Claude Desktop

Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows) and add:…
