Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an assistant to a Chit Chats shipping account to list shipments, batches and returns, create shipment records and change batch membership.

What you can do
  • List, count and inspect shipments with status, carrier, tracking code, amounts, label links and rates
  • List, count and inspect batches of shipments handed to Chit Chats
  • List returned shipments with status and return reason
  • Create shipment records and recalculate rates with options such as insurance, signature, hazmat or ship date
  • Add shipments to a batch or remove them from it
  • Check monthly tool-call usage, request a missing feature, and upgrade or cancel the paid plan
When to use it
Useful when you manage Chit Chats shipping from an assistant: checking what is in transit or has an exception, reviewing pending batches and returns, or preparing shipment records and batch groupings before buying postage in the Chit Chats dashboard.
Requirements
Remote hosted endpoint, no local install. Sign-in is by OAuth; on first connect you supply your Chit Chats Client ID and API access token, which the server stores per user. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
The server holds your Chit Chats Client ID and API access token, so treat the connection as access to your shipping account. Write tools create shipment records and change batch membership; confirm before running them. Creating a shipment does not buy postage and spends no credits, but postage is bought in the Chit Chats dashboard. Paid plans involve Stripe Checkout payments and no refund for the current period on cancellation.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Chit Chats MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fchit-chats/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Chit Chats MCP by usefulapi

Use your Chit Chats account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read shipments, batches and returns, and create shipments or change batch membership. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://chit-chats.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://chit-chats.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http chit-chats https://chit-chats.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "chit-chats": {      "url": "https://chit-chats.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Chit Chats credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/chit-chats/

On first connect you provide your Chit Chats Client ID (the number in your API address) and your API access token (Settings → Developer → API Access Tokens). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.
