# Easyship MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Easyship MCP for AI Agents. This Connector connects your AI agent to the Easyship platform to manage global shipping, pull real-time carrier rates, and track international packages. It's built for e-commerce brands that need to handle complex cross-border logistics without jumping between multiple shipping dashboards. ## Overview - **Category:** ecommerce - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_XV1fGNzhIg6qDHKZB124k3DCH343JQIFBvzuYJ8r/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** global-shipping, carrier-rates, package-tracking, logistics-automation, cross-border-trade, supply-chain ## Description Imagine you're running an e-commerce store that ships to dozens of countries. Right now, you probably have a dozen tabs open just to check where a package is, what a courier costs for a 2kg box to France, or why a delivery failed in Singapore. You're constantly copy-pasting tracking numbers and hunting for carrier limits. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the heavy lifting directly through the Easyship platform. Instead of manual data entry, you can just ask your agent to find a specific order by its reference ID or get a summary of your shipping success rates. You can even have your agent check which couriers are actually available for a specific route before you commit to a sale. Because Vinkius makes it so easy to connect these tools, you can turn a complex logistics operation into a simple conversation. You get real-time visibility into every checkpoint, from the moment a label is printed to the final delivery receipt. It takes the friction out of cross-border trade so you can focus on selling products rather than chasing down lost boxes. ## Tools ### get_easyship_account_metadata Retrieve your account limits and metadata.
