Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for the StarShipIt shipping API: orders, shipments, labels, tracking and rates

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Online shops & payments
  • You need to fill in: STARSHIPIT_API_KEY, STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: STARSHIPIT_API_KEY, STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starshipit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@devkind/starshipit-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "STARSHIPIT_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add starshipit --env STARSHIPIT_API_KEY=your-value --env STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY=your-value -- npx -y @devkind/starshipit-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "starshipit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@devkind/starshipit-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "STARSHIPIT_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is StarShipIt MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: STARSHIPIT_API_KEY, STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.3.0) reached the registry 5 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

StarShipIt MCP Server: shipping orders, labels and tracking for AI agents

StarShipIt MCP server lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client manage StarShipIt orders, print labels, track shipments, compare rates and manifest with carriers. It runs with npx on Node.js 22 or later, over stdio or local HTTP, and calls the StarShipIt API with your own keys.

Quickstart

Get your keys in StarShipIt under Settings > API: the API Key and the Subscription key. Then, for Claude Code:

read -rsp 'StarShipIt API key: ' STARSHIPIT_API_KEY; echo

read -rsp 'StarShipIt subscription key: ' STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY; echo claude mcp add --scope local starshipit \ -e STARSHIPIT_API_KEY="$STARSHIPIT_API_KEY" \ -e STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY="$STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY" \ -- npx -y @devkind/starshipit-mcp

read -rsp keeps the keys out of your shell history. --scope local stores them in your user config, outside the repository.

Then ask: *"List my unshipped StarShipIt orders."*

Install in your client

Requirements:

  • Node.js 22 or later (the server runs with npx)
  • A StarShipIt API key and subscription key
  • Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, or another MCP client

Standard config works in most MCP clients:

{

"mcpServers": { "starshipit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@devkind/starshipit-mcp"], "env": { "STARSHIPIT_API_KEY": "your-api-key", "STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY": "your-subscription-key" } } } }

Do not put real keys in a project .mcp.json or any other file that you commit.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings > Developer > Edit Config, or edit the file directly:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the standard config, then restart Claude Desktop. The StarShipIt tools appear in the tools menu.

Claude Code

Use the claude mcp add command from the Quickstart, or install the Claude Code plugin.

Cursor

Add the standard config to your Cursor mcp.json.

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"starshipit","command":"npx","args":["-y","@devkind/starshipit-mcp"],"env":{"STARSHIPIT_API_KEY":"your-api-key","STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY":"your-subscription-key"}}'

Windsurf

Follow the Windsurf MCP documentation and use the standard config above.

Other MCP clients

Most clients accept the standard config: command npx, arguments -y @devkind/starshipit-mcp, and the two environment variables.

Tools

The server has 40 tools. Every tool declares MCP annotations: 15 are read-only and 5 are destructive, so a client can ask before it changes data. 20 list and lookup tools accept response_format (markdown or json). Every tool also returns the full API response as structured content.

AreaCountTools
Orders18list unshipped, printed, shipped and delivered; summary; search; get; create; create bulk; update; update bulk; batch update; delete; archive; restore; merge; suggested merges; assign
Shipments6print label, print labels, print packing slips, manifest, clone, replace
Tracking2track shipment, create tracking-only order
Rates2get rates, get delivery services
Address book4list, add, update, delete
Manifests4list, get files, manifest by tracking number, manifest by carrier
Products4list and search, add, update, delete

Destructive tools: starshipit_delete_order, starshipit_merge_orders, starshipit_replace_shipment, starshipit_delete_addresses, starshipit_delete_products. Archive is reversible with starshipit_restore_order.

Example

{ "tool": "starshipit_track_shipment", "arguments": { "tracking_number": "2XD198209601000935102" } }

Illustrative output (the values are not real):

## Tracking: 2XD198209601000935102

Status: InTransit Order: 1001 (Shipped) Carrier: Australia Post

Tracking Events
  • 2026-10-30T09:12:00Z — InTransit: Item processed at facility

Other prompts: *"Compare rates for a 2 kg parcel from Melbourne 3000 to Paddington 2021"*, *"Which orders can be merged?"*, *"Manifest all unmanifested Australia Post shipments"*.

Configuration

VariableRequiredDefaultDescription
STARSHIPIT_API_KEYYesStarShipIt API key (Settings > API)
STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEYYesStarShipIt subscription key (Settings > API)
TRANSPORTNostdiostdio or http
MCP_HOSTNo127.0.0.1HTTP bind address (when TRANSPORT=http)
PORTNo3000HTTP port (when TRANSPORT=http)

The server starts and lists its tools without keys. Each tool call without keys returns an error that names the missing variable.

Network access and data

  • The plugin starts the server with npx, so npx downloads the pinned @devkind/starshipit-mcp package from the npm registry.
  • The server sends requests only to https://api.starshipit.com/api. Each request carries your two keys and the tool arguments, such as order details, addresses and tracking numbers.
  • Labels, packing slips and manifests come back in the tool result as URLs or base64. The server does not download the URLs.
  • The server sends no telemetry and stores no data. It writes errors to stderr only.
  • In HTTP mode the server also accepts requests on MCP_HOST and PORT. See HTTP mode.

Claude Code plugin

The repository root is a Claude Code plugin. It adds the StarShipIt MCP server, pinned to the release version, and prompts for the two keys when you enable it. Claude Code stores the keys in your system credential store, not in settings.json.

The plugin also ships the starshipit-shipping skill. The skill teaches Claude the fulfilment order: find the order, pick a service, print the label, manifest and track. Claude asks you before it prints a label, manifests or runs a destructive tool.

Install it now (Claude Code 2.1.275 or later):

/plugin install starshipit --marketplace devkindhq/starshipit-mcp

On older Claude Code versions, use the claude mcp add command in the Quickstart. A listing in the Claude plugin directory comes later.

HTTP mode

TRANSPORT=http STARSHIPIT_API_KEY=... STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY=... npx -y @devkind/starshipit-mcp

MCP endpoint: http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp (stateless Streamable HTTP)

Health check: http://127.0.0.1:3000/health

By default the server listens on 127.0.0.1 only. It rejects requests whose Host header is not localhost, 127.0.0.1 or ::1, which blocks DNS rebinding attacks from web pages. Set MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 to listen on all interfaces, for example in a container.

Warning: HTTP mode has no authentication, and every request runs with the server's StarShipIt keys. If you set MCP_HOST to anything other than a loopback address, put an authenticating proxy in front of the server.

Development

git clone https://github.com/devkindhq/starshipit-mcp.git

cd starshipit-mcp yarn install --frozen-lockfile yarn build node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

Put your keys in .env (STARSHIPIT_API_KEY= and STARSHIPIT_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY=). Git ignores that file. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the checks, commit style and release process.
