GETTING STARTED

Up and running in 5 minutes.

From sign-up to your first AI-generated theme change in five straightforward steps.

1

Create an account

Sign up at synapse.dev with your email or GitHub account. Choose the plan that fits your workflow — start with Free to explore, then upgrade to Pro when you're ready to connect a Shopify store.

Tip: The Free plan gives you full access to the IDE and local development features. Pro unlocks unlimited AI agents, Shopify sync, and team collaboration.

2

Install the MCP server

Install the Synapse MCP server globally so your IDE can communicate with Synapse agents. Then add the configuration to your IDE settings.

# Install the MCP server globallynpm install -g @synapse/mcp-server# Verify the installationsynapse-mcp --version# Add to your IDE MCP config (e.g. .cursor/mcp.json){  "mcpServers": {    "synapse": {      "command": "synapse-mcp",      "args": ["--project", "your-project-id"]    }  }}
3

Connect your Shopify store

Link your Shopify store to Synapse via secure OAuth. You'll be redirected to Shopify to authorize access, then back to Synapse with your store connected.

# Connect via CLIsynapse store connect \  --store my-store.myshopify.com# This opens a browser for OAuth authorization.# Once approved, your store is linked automatically.# Verify the connectionsynapse store status
4

Create your first project

Create a new project and import an existing theme, or start from a blank canvas. Synapse will sync your theme files automatically and keep them in sync.

# Create a new projectsynapse project create \  --name "My Store Redesign" \  --store my-store.myshopify.com# Import an existing themesynapse theme import --theme-id 12345# Or start from a templatesynapse project create --template dawn
5

Run your first agent

Describe what you want in natural language. The PM agent analyzes your request, breaks it into tasks, and delegates to specialist agents — Liquid, CSS, JavaScript, and review.

# In your IDE, use the Synapse MCP toolexecute_agent({  project_id: "proj_abc123",  agent_type: "pm",  prompt: "Build a responsive hero section    with an animated headline and CTA button"})# Expected output:# ✓ PM agent created 3 tasks# ✓ Liquid agent: hero section template# ✓ CSS agent: responsive styles + animation# ✓ Review agent: validated all changes
