How to Use the EasyPost MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor write code using live EasyPost account metadata?

Yes, the geteasypostaccountmetadata tool allows your agent to fetch active limits and configurations directly. Cursor uses these live details to write custom scripts tailored to your specific shipping limits.

Q: How do I inspect a stuck package with EasyPost inside Cursor?

Run the searchbytrackingcode tool in Agent mode to pull the complete event history. Cursor displays the raw tracking logs directly in your workspace, allowing you to debug transit issues without opening external tools.

Q: Does this setup support multiple shipping carriers?

It does. The listcarrieraccounts tool lists all connected carriers, letting your agent inspect active accounts and write shipping logic that handles UPS, FedEx, and USPS carriers correctly.

Write shipping code in Cursor using real-time EasyPost tracking and carrier data injected directly into your active files.

Perplexity

Generate shipping integrations with real EasyPost data

The `list_carrier_accounts` tool pulls your active shipping carrier configurations directly into Cursor. Your agent reads the live credentials and account metadata to generate accurate, production-ready integration code instead of relying on outdated stubs or generic mock objects. This MCP Server setup means you don't have to copy-paste API payloads from a web browser. Cursor uses the live connection to write code that perfectly matches your active shipping setup on the first run.

Debug failing shipping labels inside the Cursor editor

The `get_shipment_details` tool retrieves the exact rate structures and shipping metadata for any problematic package ID. Your agent inspects this payload inside Cursor to identify why a specific rate failed or why a label was rejected by the carrier. Stop guessing what went wrong with your shipping logic. By executing this MCP Server tool directly from your file, you can immediately spot formatting errors or invalid carrier parameters in your code.

Build custom tracking dashboards with live EasyPost MCP Server data

The `list_active_trackers` tool lists every active package tracker currently running in your shipping account. Your agent reads this live payload to help you build and test custom monitoring dashboards right inside your workspace. You write the frontend components while the editor feeds real tracking events into your template. This workflow eliminates the need to manually trigger webhooks or write temporary test scripts just to verify your UI.

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
