Primary

Primary (Primary Kids, Inc.) is a direct-to-consumer children's apparel brand selling simple, slogan-free, mix-and-match clothing "in all colors, for all kids" — babies through age 14, plus adult sizes, swimwear, school uniforms and licensed Sesame Street collaborations. The company operates a Shopify-hosted online store at primary.com and is a portfolio company of Homebrew. Primary has no first-party developer API, but its storefront is agent-accessible: it serves a live hosted Shopify Storefront MCP server (catalog search, product lookup, cart, checkout, policy/FAQ lookup) and exposes Shopify's Customer Account API (OAuth2/OIDC) for customer-scoped operations, along with a published llms.txt agent-instructions document.

Primary is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Retail, Ecommerce, and Apparel.

Primary’s developer surface includes authentication and 7 more developer resources.
