StoreInspect MCP uses the same account access model as the StoreInspect API. Tool calls are tied to the StoreInspect account you approve during OAuth.
Check current usage
Ask your client:
Use StoreInspect to show my current usage.
get_usage and return plan, API access, request quota, search-row usage, and shared contact credits.
Request and search-row quotas
Store and contact search tools use quota because they return rows from the StoreInspect index.
| Tool | Quota behavior |
|---|
get_usage | Reads quota and credit state. |
list_taxonomy | Reads supported filters. |
get_shopify_store | Looks up one store by domain. |
search_shopify_stores | Uses request quota and search-row quota. |
enrich_shopify_domains | Uses request quota and search-row quota. |
search_shopify_contacts | Uses request quota and search-row quota. |
reveal_contacts | Can spend shared contact credits. |
- Contact search previews do not expose raw emails, phone numbers, or LinkedIn URLs.
- Revealing a contact for the first time spends one shared contact credit.
- Re-revealing a contact already revealed to your account does not spend another credit.
- StoreInspect refuses MCP reveals unless the tool input includes explicit credit-spend confirmation.
Reveal confirmation
The reveal_contacts tool requires:
{
"contact_ids": ["ct_AbCdEf_GhIjKlMnOpQrStUv"],
"confirm_spend_credits": true
}
confirm_spend_credits is missing or false, StoreInspect refuses the reveal.
Cost-control prompts
Use preview-first prompts:
Search for ecommerce decision-maker contacts at these stores. Do not reveal contact channels yet.
Rank the best 10 contacts to reveal and show the contact IDs. Do not spend credits.
Reveal these three contact IDs and confirm spending contact credits.
Focus searches
Search endpoints are intended for focused ICP workflows. Use filters such as country, category, traffic tier, app usage, missing app, pixel, theme, Shopify Plus, Meta ads, contact role, or revealable-contact availability.
Do not use MCP tools to crawl, resell, or reconstruct the StoreInspect dataset.
