Add Shindig to Grok Bot with your API key

This page is for Shopify merchants who use Grok Bot with Shindig. Add the MCP URL and the Bearer key as a custom connector in Grok Bot. The Free plan does not include API or MCP. Plus is $4.99 per month or $45 per year, and Plus50 is $24.95 per month or $224.55 per year. Each paid plan includes a 14-day free trial. API and MCP need Plus or Plus50.

Every assistant connects the same way

Shindig's MCP endpoint is Streamable HTTP. Send this header on every request. The value is the Company Config API key:

Authorization: Bearer <Company Config API key>

In the Shopify admin, open Shindig, then Settings, then Company Config, then API & MCP Access. Company Config shows the URL and the API key. Rotate the key there if it may have been exposed. API and MCP need Plus or Plus50. The same key works for the REST API. REST API quickstart.

When the client connects, it receives Shindig's server instructions plus these resources: guide://shindig/agent, schema://shindig/save-event, and Help Center articles at help://shindig/... (the index is help://shindig/index).
