Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Track ocean containers and air cargo, read their routes, and manage shipments in ShipsGo.

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 in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP

Install

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

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 13 things (tools) shipsgo_list_ocean_carriers, shipsgo_list_ocean_shipments, shipsgo_get_ocean_shipment, shipsgo_get_ocean_route …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • shipsgo_list_ocean_carriers

    List the ocean carriers ShipsGo supports, with their SCAC codes and status. Use the codes in ocean shipment tools. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/carriers.

  • shipsgo_list_ocean_shipments

    List 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_shipment

    Get one ocean shipment with its status, containers, carrier and movement events. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}.

  • shipsgo_get_ocean_route

    Get the route of one ocean shipment as GeoJSON (ports and track points). ShipsGo API: GET /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}/geojson.

  • shipsgo_create_ocean_shipment

    Start 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_shipment

    Change the reference of an ocean shipment. Only the reference can be changed here. ShipsGo API: PATCH /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}.

  • shipsgo_delete_ocean_shipment

    Delete an ocean shipment from the account. Tracking stops and the shipment cannot be restored by this server. ShipsGo API: DELETE /v2/ocean/shipments/{shipment_id}.

  • shipsgo_list_air_shipments

    List air cargo shipments on the account with status and dates. Filter by status, reference or AWB number. A sub-account with the Co-Worker role sees only its own shipments. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/air/shipments.

  • shipsgo_get_air_shipment

    Get one air shipment with its status, movements and AWB details. ShipsGo API: GET /v2/air/shipments/{shipment_id}.

  • shipsgo_get_air_route

    Get the route of one air shipment as GeoJSON (airports and track points). ShipsGo API: GET /v2/air/shipments/{shipment_id}/geojson.

  • shipsgo_create_air_shipment

    Start 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_shipment

    Change the reference of an air shipment. Only the reference can be changed here. ShipsGo API: PATCH /v2/air/shipments/{shipment_id}.

  • shipsgo_delete_air_shipment

    Delete an air shipment from the account. Tracking stops and the shipment cannot be restored by this server. ShipsGo API: DELETE /v2/air/shipments/{shipment_id}.

Common questions

Is ShipsGo 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 (1.0.2) reached the registry today.

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: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

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 /mcp to 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.
