Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted shipcloud connector that lets an assistant quote shipping, prepare shipments, buy labels, track parcels and request carrier pickups.

What you can do
  • Read account, carriers, default addresses, shipments, trackers, pickup requests, orders and webhooks
  • Quote shipment prices and look up saved addresses
  • Create prepared shipments, buy labels, create trackers and save addresses
  • Request carrier pickups and delete shipments or cancel labels
  • Find nearby parcel shops and drop-off points
  • Check usage and manage the subscription plan
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should help with parcel logistics in a shipcloud account: checking where a shipment is, quoting a price before buying a label, preparing shipments, or arranging pickups and drop-off points.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint added by URL only; sign-in uses OAuth and the login page asks for shipcloud credentials. A shipcloud account with an API key (sandbox or live) is needed. No API key or Authorization header goes in the client config.
Before you install
Buying a label with a live key charges the shipcloud account and creates a real label; pickups may be billed and cannot be cancelled through the server. Deleting a shipment or cancelling a label is irreversible after the carrier cut-off. Addresses, orders and tracking data reach the AI client and its LLM provider. Free plan is limited to 50 tool calls a month; paid plans are billed through Stripe.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Shipcloud 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%2Fshipcloud/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.

Shipcloud MCP by usefulapi

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://shipcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http shipcloud https://shipcloud.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": {    "shipcloud": {      "url": "https://shipcloud.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 Shipcloud credentials.

Account access and data

Connect only your own customer-controlled key under your authorization and processing instructions. Find the key under your account email → API Key. Sandbox keys produce test labels; live keys can incur real carrier charges. Vendor plans, carrier eligibility and charges are separate. This is an independent customer-authorized connection, with no partner approval claimed.

The key is encrypted. Requested sender/recipient addresses, orders and tracking information reach your connected AI client and LLM provider. Connect only data you are authorized to process there. Revoke the key in Shipcloud to stop access; disconnect UsefulAPI to stop this connection. Billing follows customer number, normally across sandbox/live keys and key rotation.

Buying a label, deleting a shipment/cancelling a label and requesting a carrier pickup require explicit confirmation. Pickups may be charged and cannot be cancelled through these tools. Prepared shipments have no label or label charge. An optional notification email causes Shipcloud tracking emails to that address. Notes and results explain uncertain outcomes; no operation is automatically replayed.

Reference lookups and same-instance guards reduce duplicate label purchases but are not atomic across Worker instances. Serialize purchases for each reference. A timeout can occur before a slow carrier completes; check Shipcloud before repeating a purchase. A valid create id and HTTPS label URL are required before reporting a label purchase; deletion requires the documented204 acknowledgement.

All22tools were checked against current vendor documentation and local mocks. No real customer shipping data, labels, pickups or charges were tested.

shipcloud_get_account

Get account

The shipcloud user behind this API key: id, email, customer number, plan, and the ENVIRONMENT of the key (production = real labels and charges, sandbox = free test labels). Check this before creating labels. GET /me.

Takes no parameters.

shipcloud_list_carriers

List carriers

The carriers this account can use, each with its services, package types, additional services and label formats per service. Use the values when creating shipments. GET /carriers.

Takes no parameters.

shipcloud_get_default_address

Get a default address

One of the account's saved default addresses: shipping (the default sender), returns (the default recipient of return shipments) or invoice (the invoice address). GET /default_shipping_address, /default_returns_address or /invoice_address.

Parameterskindrequired

shipcloud_list_shipments

List shipments

List shipments (newest first as shipcloud returns them) with carrier, service, price, tracking number, tracking URL, label URL, addresses and tracking events. Filters can be combined. Paged: pass the previous reply's next_page. shipcloud sends no totals, so next_page is a guess (a full page suggests more). GET /shipments.

Parameterspagesourcecarrierserviceper_pagecreated_aftershipment_typecreated_beforetracking_statusreference_numbercarrier_tracking_notracking_status_not+1 more

shipcloud_get_shipment

Get shipment

One shipment by id: addresses, packages with tracking events, price, label URL, tracking URL. Sandbox shipments have no tracking events and price 0. GET /shipments/{id}.

Parametersshipment_idrequired

shipcloud_get_shipment_quote

Quote a shipment price

What shipcloud would charge for a shipment (price in EUR excl. VAT). Read-only: nothing is created and nothing is charged. Only works for carrier contracts owned by shipcloud. Use it before shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label. POST /shipment_quotes.

Parameterstorequiredfromcarrierrequiredservicerequiredpackagesrequired

shipcloud_create_prepared_shipment

Create a prepared shipment (no label)

WRITE: save a shipment in shipcloud WITHOUT buying a label (create_shipping_label=false). Nothing is charged and no carrier is contacted; a prepared shipment can be deleted any time. Returns the shipment id. To buy the label use shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label. POST /shipments.

Parameterstorequiredfromcarrierrequiredservicepackagesrequireddescriptionlabel_formatreference_numbernotification_email

shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label

Buy a shipping label (costs money)

WRITE, COSTS MONEY: create a shipment AND buy its shipping label at the carrier (create_shipping_label=true). With a LIVE key this charges the shipcloud account (price in EUR excl. VAT; get it first from shipcloud_get_shipment_quote) and creates a real label; with the sandbox key it is free and fake. A label can only be cancelled before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00) with shipcloud_delete_shipment. The request is sent ONCE and never retried: if it times out or fails with a server error, the label may still exist, so check shipcloud_list_shipments with the same reference_number before trying again. An existing-label lookup and same-instance guard reduce duplicates but are not atomic or global: simultaneous requests across Worker instances can buy duplicate labels. Serialize purchases for each reference and check shipcloud after an uncertain result. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed to the purchase; give a unique reference_number. Shipments needing customs papers are not supported here. POST /shipments.

Parameterstorequiredfromcarrierrequiredconfirmrequiredservicepackagesrequireddescriptionlabel_formatreference_numberrequirednotification_email

shipcloud_delete_shipment

Delete a shipment / cancel its label

WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: delete a shipment. A prepared shipment (no label) can be deleted any time. For a shipment with a label, shipcloud cancels the label only before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00); afterwards it fails. Cannot be undone. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed. DELETE /shipments/{id}.
