MCP server for Easyship — get shipping rates and track shipments

Project description

Easyship MCP Server

MCP server for Easyship. Connect all your AI tools to Easyship’s global shipping platform and manage your entire shipping operation 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:

  • Rate comparison: Compare 550+ courier options with discounted rates, 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 trends, top destinations, courier usage, status breakdowns, and sales channel performance

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:

Method How it works Requires Python?
Remote Connects to mcp.easyship.com via Streamable HTTP No
Local Runs the easyship-mcp package on your machine via uvx Yes

⚠️ 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.


Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "easyship": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["easyship-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "EASYSHIP_API_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

Remote:

{
  "servers": {

      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["easyship-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "EASYSHIP_API_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http easyship \
  https://mcp.easyship.com/mcp \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'

Codex CLI

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.easyship]
url = "https://mcp.easyship.com/mcp"
http_headers = { "Authorization" = "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }

Other clients

For any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP, point it at:

URL:    https://mcp.easyship.com/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

For stdio-based clients, run uvx easyship-mcp with EASYSHIP_API_ACCESS_TOKEN set in the environment.
