CONNECTOR DOCUMENTATION
Audit a Shopify store from inside Claude.
Arvio Store Audit is a remote MCP server. Connect it to Claude, name a store, and get back rewritten product copy and a rebuilt product photo in about a minute. No account, no API key, nothing to configure.
What it does
Give it a store domain, or a link to one product page. If you give a bare domain, Arvio picks the product page that needs the most work. Then it:
- Rewrites the product copy — title, description, and the title and meta description that show up in search results.
- Flags claims the product data cannot support. It does not only rewrite; it tells you which sentences are not backed by the store's own data, so you can delete them.
- Rebuilds the main product photo — or explains, point by point, why the existing photo is already good and should be left alone.
- Counts how many other products in the store have the same problems.
Every result comes with a link to a full before/after page you can open in a browser and share.
Connecting
Claude (web and desktop) — add it as a custom connector in settings, using this URL:
Claude Code — one command:
There is no authentication step. The server is open and anonymous — it never asks you to sign in, and it has no access to any Shopify account, yours or anyone else's.
Tools
| Tool | Argument | What it does |
|---|---|---|
audit_storefront | input — a store domain, or a link to one product | Starts an audit and waits for it, up to about 50 seconds. Returns the finished report, or a partial one plus an auditId if it is still running. |
audit_funnel | input — a store domain | Audits the whole store instead of one product: every stage of the buying journey (landing, browsing, product page, cart, checkout, after the order), with the measured evidence behind each finding. Use this when you want to know where a store loses sales; use audit_storefront when you want one product page rewritten. |
audit_check_result | auditId | Returns the current state of an audit started by either tool — the response tells you which kind it was. Read-only, returns immediately. |
An audit takes 30–60 seconds, so most of the time one call is enough. When a store takes longer, the first call comes back with whatever has finished so far and a status of running; Claude then checks back with audit_check_result until it is done. You do not have to do anything — it handles that itself.
audit_funnel also reports a dataQuality of complete or degraded. When it is degraded, some pages could not be fetched and the checks that needed them are listed as unchecked rather than passing silently — so a stage with no findings and no unchecked entries really was checked and clean.
Limits
The audit is free, and it costs us real money to run, so there are caps:
- 20 calls per minute per client, and 300 per minute across everyone.
- 5 different stores per day from one address. Re-auditing the same store does not count against this.
- 1,000 audits per day in total across all users.
- 3 audits at a time. If we are busy, you will be asked to try again in a minute.
When you hit a limit, the tool says so in plain language rather than failing silently. If you need more than this for a legitimate reason, email us.
When something is missing
Some stores block crawlers, hide their product data, or have no usable product images. When that happens the report says which piece is missing and why, instead of filling the gap with something invented. A partial report with an honest gap is more useful than a complete-looking one you cannot trust.
The same applies to photos: if a photo is already good, Arvio says so and leaves it alone rather than regenerating it to look busy.
Privacy
The connector needs no account and stores no identifier for you. It reads only pages that are already public on the store you name — it never touches a Shopify admin, and there are no orders, customers, or payment data involved anywhere.
Full detail, including which third parties process the page content and how to have a result deleted, is in our Privacy Policy.
Support
hi@a.xyz — a person reads it. Tell us the store you tried and what you got back, and we can look up what happened.
