shipsgo_list_ocean_shipmentsList ocean container shipments on the account with status, carrier, route and dates. Filter by status, carrier, reference or container number. A sub-account with the Co-Worker role sees only its own shipments. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/shipments.
shipsgo_get_ocean_shipmentGet one ocean shipment with its status, containers, carrier and movement events. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}.
shipsgo_get_ocean_routeGet the route of one ocean shipment as GeoJSON (ports and track points). ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}/geojson.
shipsgo_create_ocean_shipmentStart tracking an ocean shipment by booking number or container number. Creating a shipment uses account credits (HTTP 402 when none are left). A repeat with the same reference and booking number (or container number when no booking number is given) returns HTTP 409 with the exis
shipsgo_update_ocean_shipmentChange the reference of an ocean shipment. Only the reference can be changed here. ShipsGo API: PATCH /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}.

shipsgo_create_air_shipmentStart tracking an air cargo shipment by AWB number. Creating a shipment uses account credits (HTTP 402 when none are left). A repeat with the same AWB number (and the same reference, when one is given) returns HTTP 409 with the existing shipment, at no cost. ShipsGo API: POST /v2
shipsgo_update_air_shipmentChange the reference of an air shipment. Only the reference can be changed here. ShipsGo API: PATCH /v2/air/shipments/{shipment_id}.

Common questions
Is ShipsGo MCP by usefulapi safe?
It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed today, and the latest version (1.1.3) reached the registry yesterday.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

ShipsGo MCP by usefulapi
Use your ShipsGo account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Track ocean container and air cargo shipments, read their routes as GeoJSON, and create, update or delete shipments. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://shipsgo.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://shipsgo.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http shipsgo https://shipsgo.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": { "shipsgo": { "url": "https://shipsgo.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 ShipsGo credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/shipsgo/
On first connect you provide a ShipsGo API token (ShipsGo dashboard → ShipsGo API section). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
