Direct Synopsis: This repository contains a JavaScript proof-of-concept (PoC) for an Edge MCP Gateway. It demonstrates turning any Shopify store into a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server running directly on Fastly Compute.
What Core Problem Does This Solve?
This solution bridges e-commerce platforms with AI models by establishing an MCP server at the edge.
Key Benefit 1: Enables AI agents to interact directly with Shopify store data (products, inventory, etc.) with edge-level low latency.
Key Benefit 2: Provides a scalable template for building edge-native MCP gateways.
What is the Architecture and Tech Stack?
Component | Technology | Role in Demo |
Gateway Logic | JavaScript (PoC) | Translates MCP requests to Shopify API calls |
Execution Environment | Compute | Hosts the MCP server at the edge |
Target Origin | Shopify | The e-commerce backend providing data |
How is This Solution Configured and Executed?
Status: This project is currently marked as "In Progress" by owners Rick and Ameet.

What Are the Primary Sales Engineering Use Cases?
AI/E-commerce Integration Demos: Perfect for showing how Fastly can act as the vital connective tissue between modern AI agents (using MCP) and existing e-commerce backends like Shopify.
Showcasing Compute Flexibility: Highlights the ability of Fastly Compute to host complex protocols and act as an intelligent gateway, not just a cache.
