StacksThe E-commerce Ops Stack

TL;DR

The E-commerce Ops Stack is 6 MCPs (Stripe, Postgres, Slack, Perplexity, Firecrawl, Notion) that collapse 7+ dashboards into one Claude session. Daily digests auto-post, competitor intel runs continuously, and ops questions get instant answers. Pair with Shopify MCP (official) for a complete store-ops toolkit.

The E-commerce Ops Stack

Shopify, Stripe, email, ads, analytics — one AI session for the whole store

Install the whole stack

$ mcpizy install stripe postgres slack perplexity firecrawl notion

One command installs and configures all 6 MCPs for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.

Why this stack?

E-commerce operators live in 5–7 dashboards at once: Shopify, Stripe, Klaviyo, Meta Ads, GA4, plus a spreadsheet. Every executive question ('what's CAC this week by channel?') requires opening all of them. This stack flattens that into one Claude session. Stripe handles payment reality; Postgres holds your warehoused Shopify+ads data; Perplexity + Firecrawl drive competitor intelligence; Notion and Slack connect it to team communication.

This stack pairs beautifully with Shopify MCP (official release) — add it as a 7th MCP if you want direct admin API access. The Postgres MCP in this stack assumes you warehouse Shopify data via Fivetran/Airbyte/Stitch.

Estimated value

Replaces ~$1000/mo of ecom tooling (Triple Whale starter, Prisync, competitor-monitoring SaaS, manual VA hours). Time ROI: 8–12h/week across founder + ops + marketer.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official Shopify MCP?

Yes — released in 2025. Covers the Admin API (orders, products, customers, inventory). Add it to this stack for direct Shopify writes. The Postgres MCP here is for warehoused/analytical queries, not writes.

Does this replace Triple Whale or Northbeam?

Not fully — those have proprietary attribution models. But for 80% of day-to-day questions (revenue, refunds, ad spend, CAC), MCPs + your warehouse get you there for $0 subscription.

What about Meta Ads and Google Ads?

Both have community MCPs. Add them to this stack for ad platform coverage. They handle campaign edits and performance queries.

Do I need Postgres if I already have Shopify?

Yes — to unify data across Shopify + Stripe + Ads. Most ecom operators use Fivetran or Airbyte to sync Shopify+Stripe+Ads into a Postgres warehouse. Postgres MCP then queries across all of them.

Can Claude actually refund a customer?

Yes via Stripe MCP (and Shopify MCP if you add it). Most teams start read-only for a week, then enable refunds with a confirmation prompt. Good safety pattern.
