Shopify MCP server HTTP 500 error

Shopify MCP server HTTP 500 error

Hello,

I'm using the Shopify Storefront MCP server to connect my AI agent to the Shopify stores.

It was working fine, but I suddenly started receiving HTTP 500 errors on multiple stores.

Is there something I might be missing?

Here is an example request that returns a 500 error:

HTTP POST: https://burton-snowboard.myshopify.com/api/mcp

Body: {
    "method": "tools/list",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "params": {}
}

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I already tried and implemented a lot of these things:
- exponential backoff

- tried using access token

- checked if other stores work (some work, some don't)

- request scope is minimal, I'm trying default example https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/storefront-mcp/servers/storefront#create-an-api-request-to-the-s...

I can't find any information related to rate limits, blocking, or throttling. Also, this was working on Friday, and now it does not work.

Any other ideas?

Same problem here. I guess there must have been an internal problem with the server. On Friday it was working

I don't see the issue anymore.

Can someone from Shopify please confirm if there was an issue on the Shopify side or if there is something regarding these specific stores?
