▍ Shipping infrastructure

The shipping layer for autonomous AI agents.

Rate quotes, label generation, tracking, and cross-border customs — exposed as MCP tools. Programmatic onboarding, idempotent by default, scoped credentials per task. No dashboards, no sales calls.

How it works.

Three calls from English sentence to printable label. Your agent handles the orchestration; ShipMCP handles the carriers.

Install in any MCP client

Paste a four-line config into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or your own agent. No SDK to learn.

Quote, then buy

Your agent calls get_rates with addresses and a parcel. Pick a rate. Call create_label with an idempotency_key.

Real label, real tracking

A signed PDF URL and a carrier tracking number land in the response. Replays are deduped — never charged twice.

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.shipmcp.com"]
    }
  }
}

Paste in claude_desktop_config.json, restart, and ask your agent to ship something.

Agent-native tools, end to end.

Nine tools cover the full shipping lifecycle. Each one returns structured output an LLM can act on — and structured errors with concrete recovery steps when something goes wrong.

get_rates

Quote shipping rates from supported carriers.

create_label

Buy a label for a previously quoted rate. Idempotent.

validate_address

Normalize and verify a shipping address.

get_tracking

Fetch the tracking timeline for a shipment.

void_label

Void a label and request a refund.

mint_scoped_token

Issue a spend-capped, time-bound API token.

create_customs_declaration

Build a customs declaration for cross-border.

lookup_hs_code

Resolve a product description to an HS code.

estimate_landed_cost

Total landed cost: shipping + duties + tax.

Frequently asked questions.

What carriers are supported?

USPS first (US domestic), with Canada Post for cross-border North America at launch. UPS, FedEx, and Purolator quote through the same interface. EU carriers are out of scope for v1.

How is this different from EasyPost or Shippo?

Programmatic signup with no sales call, idempotency keys on every label call, scoped credentials per task, and structured errors with concrete recovery actions. Built for agents to read and act on, not for humans to debug in a dashboard.

What does pricing look like?

Free for the first 50 labels per month. After that, the carrier's cost plus a flat $0.05 per label. No monthly minimum, no platform fee.

Is this production-ready?

Public launch is Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The MCP surface, idempotency, and label purchase flow are live in private testing today. Everything else ships in the weeks before launch.
