Run AfterShip Returns logic inside Cursor

Call `approve_return` inside your Agent mode chat to generate shipping labels for pending requests. The AI uses the real response to populate your testing scripts. You avoid static mocks by pulling live return reasons through `get_return_details`. This gives your code context that matches your actual ecommerce environment.

Track warehouse inventory with this MCP Server

Use `receive_items` to log warehouse arrivals while you work on your return management modules. It updates your database state without forcing you to exit the editor. Your agent can iterate on your code by checking `list_returns` for current volume. It sees the same data your customer support team sees.

Integrate AfterShip Returns into your IDE

This MCP Server exposes your ecommerce tools to Cursor for faster development cycles. You define the logic once and let the agent handle the API calls. Working with live returns data makes your feature development more precise. The agent writes code that actually understands your logistics pipeline.
