Easyship MCP Server

MCP server for Easyship. Connect your AI tools to Easyship’s shipping platform and manage shipping operations through natural language.

The MCP server gives your agent access to shipping rates, shipment creation, label purchasing, package tracking, pickup scheduling, address validation, billing, and analytics. For more info, see the API docs.

Access 550+ courier services across 200+ countries — including UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, USPS, Canada Post, Australia Post, and Royal Mail — directly from Cursor, Claude, Gemini, Codex, and more.

Capabilities

Tools across 6 categories:

• Rates: Retrieve available courier options with prices, estimated delivery times, and tax and duty estimates
• Shipment management: Create, update, track, cancel, and manage shipments end-to-end including label purchase and document retrieval
• Pickup scheduling: Check available slots, schedule courier pickups, and manage existing pickups
• Address validation: Validate shipping addresses for US domestic and international destinations
• Billing: View transactions and billing documents
• Analytics: Shipment volume over time, volume by destination, courier usage, status breakdowns, and sales channel volume

Installation

Get your API token from Easyship Dashboard → Connect → API.

Tip: Copy .env.example to .env and add your API token. Some local setups will read from this file automatically.

Each client below offers two connection methods:

⚠️ Security Note: Never share your API token in the chat window. If you accidentally paste it in a prompt, revoke and rotate your API key immediately in the Easyship Dashboard.

Note: There is no separate test environment for MCP actions. Any action that consumes credits (such as generating labels) will incur real charges. We recommend using a test API token with limited scopes for your first run.
