Turn Shopify Admin into a REST + MCP endpoint

Writ turns the Shopify Admin actions you already do in a browser into a callable REST endpoint your software (and your AI agents) can call.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

No Shopify Admin API yet? Build one in minutes

Record the Shopify Admin task once (open analytics, then export orders) and call it as a REST endpoint and an MCP tool. No backend project, no waiting on Shopify Admin to ship an API.

  1. 1
    Record the Shopify Admin task once

    Open the recorder and open analytics on Shopify Admin in a real browser. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a reusable workflow.

  2. 2
    Publish it as an endpoint

    One click turns the workflow into a callable REST endpoint at /v1/shopify-admin/run and a matching MCP tool. Inputs become a typed schema.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    Call Shopify Admin from your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent. Run it on your own machine for free, or on metered cloud.

Read the REST API docs, see what's possible on workflows, or search for another site. Free to start. See pricing.

gap ▸ no public api 02
03
why

Shopify Admin doesn't give you the endpoint you need

Shopify Admin has an API, but some analytics, app settings, and theme actions are only reachable through the admin browser UI.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Shopify Admin task once (or describe it to an AI session) and publish it as a REST endpoint at /v1/shopify-admin/run and a matching MCP tool. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Shopify Admin

The reason Shopify Admin has no usable API is the same reason it's hard to automate. Writ handles it.

Writ signs into your own Shopify admin through a Persona with 2FA and runs inside that authenticated session for UI-only actions.

Three ways to build your Shopify Admin endpoint

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same callable workflow.

Record itOpen the recorder, open analytics on Shopify Admin once in a real browser, and Writ captures every step into a workflow.
Describe itTell an AI session your goal on Shopify Admin in plain language, and it drives the page to build the workflow for you.
Discover itLet API discovery watch Shopify Admin's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast workflow.

Shopify Admin API questions

Does Shopify Admin have an API?
Shopify Admin has an API, but some analytics, app settings, and theme actions are only reachable through the admin browser UI. Writ gives you a callable /v1/shopify-admin/run endpoint that runs the real Shopify Admin flow in a browser and returns structured JSON.
Is there a ready-made Shopify Admin API I can use?
Record the Shopify Admin task once in the recorder (open analytics, then export orders) or describe it to an AI session. Writ turns it into a callable REST endpoint and MCP tool. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Shopify Admin this way?
Use Writ on your own Shopify store. Authorized automation of your own admin. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does this work with Shopify Admin login and 2FA?
Writ signs into your own Shopify admin through a Persona with 2FA and runs inside that authenticated session for UI-only actions. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the endpoint runs inside your own authenticated session.
Can I run it on my own machine?
Yes. Run it on a local or BYO agent for no compute charge — useful when Shopify Admin is only reachable from your own network or VPN, and free on every plan. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage.
