Install Portage Store in LM Studio

What you need first

• LM Studio, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own values for YOUR_SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN,YOUR_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Steps

1. In LM Studio, open the Program tab and choose Install › Edit mcp.json.
2. Add this block. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the entry inside it.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "portage-ucp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN", "-e", "SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/tomtom87/portage-ucp:0.17.0"],
      "env": { "SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN": "YOUR_SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN", "SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

3. Replace YOUR_SHOPIFY_SHOP_DOMAIN,YOUR_SHOPIFY_STOREFRONT_ACCESS_TOKEN with your own values.
4. Save the file and restart LM Studio.

Check it worked

Ask LM Studio: List the tools of portage-ucp.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart LM Studio.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
