## Description

Processes an existing return in Shopify via the `returnProcess` mutation, marking the specified return line items as processed. By default no refund is issued — to also issue a refund, include a `financialTransfer` object with an `issueRefund` operation (and its required `orderTransactions`) in **Additional Fields**. [See the documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/returnProcess).

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `returnId` | `string` | Yes | The return GID to refund, in the format gid://shopify/Return/222. Obtain this from the Create Return action output or by inspecting an order's returns. |
| `returnLineItems` | `string` | Yes | JSON array of return line items to process. Each item accepts id (the ReturnLineItem GID) and quantity. Example: [{"id": "gid://shopify/ReturnLineItem/333", "quantity": 1}]. |
| `notifyCustomer` | `boolean` | No | Whether to notify the customer about the refund. |
| `additionalFields` | `object` | No | JSON object of additional ReturnProcessInput fields (e.g. refundShipping, refundDuties, note, or financialTransfer to issue a refund). Example: {"refundShipping": {"fullRefund": true}}. |

import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,

        "x-pd-app-slug": "shopify",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "shopify-refund-return",
  arguments: {
    returnId: "Return ID",
    returnLineItems: "Return Line Items",
  },
})
