ShipBob MCP Server

Connect ShipBob to your AI agents with the ShipBob MCP server.

Updated

What is ShipBob MCP?

The ShipBob MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects ShipBob to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with ShipBob (ecommerce fulfillment — orders, inventory and shipments) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the ShipBob tools become available to the model.
