Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Track shipments and quote shipping; prepare shipments, buy labels and request carrier pickups.

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.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 22 things (tools) shipcloud_get_account, shipcloud_list_carriers, shipcloud_get_default_address, shipcloud_list_shipments …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • shipcloud_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.

  • shipcloud_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.

  • shipcloud_get_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.

  • shipcloud_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 (

  • shipcloud_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}.

  • shipcloud_get_shipment_quote

    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.

  • shipcloud_create_prepared_shipment

    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 /shipmen

  • shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label

    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

  • shipcloud_delete_shipment

    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 us

  • shipcloud_list_trackers

    List trackers: shipments created OUTSIDE shipcloud that shipcloud tracks by the carrier's tracking number (only for your own carrier contracts), with status and tracking events. GET /trackers.

  • shipcloud_get_tracker

    One tracker by id, with status and tracking events. GET /trackers/{id}.

  • shipcloud_create_tracker

    WRITE: have shipcloud track a parcel that was NOT created with shipcloud, by the carrier's tracking number (only for your own carrier contracts; carriers dhl, dpd, gls, ups). Creates a tracker; no label, no shipping charge. POST /trackers.

  • shipcloud_list_pickup_requests

    List carrier pickup requests with carrier, pickup time window, address and the shipments included. GET /pickup_requests.

  • shipcloud_get_pickup_request

    One pickup request by id. GET /pickup_requests/{id}.

  • shipcloud_create_pickup_request

    WRITE: order a carrier (dpd, gls, hermes or ups) to pick up parcels at an address in a time window. A real request goes to the carrier and cannot be cancelled through this server; carriers may bill pickups. Without `shipment_ids` the carrier collects all shipments not yet picked

  • shipcloud_find_dropoff_locations

    Search a carrier's parcel shops, lockers and drop-off points near an address or coordinates (opening hours, distance). Give an address (street, zip_code, city, country) or latitude + longitude. GET /pickup_dropoff_locations.

  • shipcloud_list_addresses

    List the address book (saved addresses with ids usable as `to` / `from`). Filter by any field. Paged. GET /addresses.

  • shipcloud_get_address

    One saved address by id. GET /addresses/{id}.

  • shipcloud_create_address

    WRITE: save an address in the shipcloud address book (no shipment, no cost). Returns its id. It cannot be removed through this server. POST /addresses.

  • shipcloud_list_orders

    List orders sent to shipcloud (order data with line items, used by the Return Portal and linked to shipments by order_id). GET /orders.

  • shipcloud_get_order

    One order by id, with delivery address and line items. GET /orders/{id}.

  • shipcloud_list_webhooks

    List the webhooks configured in the account: target URL, subscribed event types, deactivated flag. Credentials of a webhook are never shown. GET /webhooks.

Common questions

Is Shipcloud MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (1.7.3) 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, 오늘냥이 (Oneul Nyangi)

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:
{

"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.
