Strengths	+ First-party and built into every Shopify store via the /api/mcp endpoint + Storefront tools cover catalog search, cart, and policy/FAQ lookups + Separate Dev MCP for app builders and API/doc access	+ Tight Stripe data model + Backed by Stripe's API surface
Tradeoffs	− Storefront server is hosted-only — no self-hosting or customization − Scoped per store: a storefront connection only sees that merchant's data − Checkout and cart mutations are high-stakes and should be gated	− Mutation operations should be gated — billing actions are high-stakes
