Adding LLMs.txt file to shopify store

In this AI era, every merchant wants their products to display in results of LLMs. So, how can we add LLMs.txt file to provide guidance for AI systems (such as language models)? So that the products of store can appear in results of AI Systems.

Through the internet search, I came to know that this file needs to be added in the root directory of store which shopify does not allow. So, what is the best way to add this file and make it available to LLMs ?

I’d suggest taking a look at these docs, this should suffice.

Thanks for your reply!

How can we setup storefront MCP server. Do we need to add code at theme level OR make custom app to setup MCP?

Hi @tov_hamza

This video and the docs Luke linked should be enough to help you :slight_smile:

Thanks @Liam-Shopify for your reply!

What I understood from this video and doc is that we can create AI agents which can be seen on shopify storefront and customer can interact with it to search products according to their need and buy them. And behind the scenes, Storefront MCP Server will be assisting AI agent to accomplish these tasks. Correct me if I am wrong.

But my requirement is a bit different for now. As you know, each store do SEO so that stores can land at top of search engine results to grab more visits which eventually convert into sales. As you know, most people are using LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, Deepseek, etc. Now I want these LLMs to show store in their results if entered prompt is somewhat related to store. While searching on internet, I came to know that we should add LLMs.txt file to root directory of store to do this but shopify does not allow this.

So, what can we do?
