Shippo MCP Server

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

Updated

What is Shippo MCP?

The Shippo MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Shippo to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Shippo (multi-carrier shipping — rates, labels and tracking) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.

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

Using Shippo MCP with Gamut
