Perplexity

Validate addresses instantly with this MCP Server

`validate_address` cleans up your shipping data before you print a single label. Your agent formats the street lines, matches the city, and fixes typos in postal codes automatically. This check prevents delivery failures before they happen. You also use `get_postal_code` to resolve ambiguous regional codes so shipments route to the correct hub on the first run.

Live shipping rates and availability in Claude Desktop

`get_rates` pulls live pricing directly from your FedEx account using package dimensions and weight. Your agent uses the MCP Server to compare service tiers in real-time so you choose the cheapest option. Run `check_service_availability` first to confirm if Ground or Express operates between those specific ZIP codes. You get exact transit times instead of guessing which service to book.

Track shipments and pull delivery proof

`track_package` gets the exact status and scan history of any 12-to-15 digit tracking number. If you have dozens of orders to monitor, `track_multiple_packages` processes them in a single batch request. Retrieve the signature and delivery confirmation image using `get_proof_of_delivery` when customers claim they didn't receive a package. This tool gives you the exact receipt URL to resolve billing disputes immediately.
