Build rate calculators using Cursor and this MCP Server

`get_rates` queries live FedEx pricing directly from the editor. Your agent writes your checkout code while pulling actual shipping costs, eliminating the need for hardcoded placeholder rates. You combine this with `check_service_availability` to write logic that only displays valid shipping options to your checkout users. This workflow ensures your code handles actual carrier constraints from day one.

Automatic shipping label creation inside your IDE

`create_shipment` builds actual shipping labels and returns tracking numbers right in your Cursor workspace. Your agent tests the integration against real payloads to verify your database schemas match the carrier API. Use `validate_address` before generating any label to clean up address lines and prevent API validation errors. This pattern keeps your test environment clean and your label generation code highly reliable.

Real-time parcel tracking directly in your terminal

`track_package` lets you debug tracking integrations with real, live shipping data. If you are building bulk order dashboards, `track_multiple_packages` lets your agent test array-based status updates. Grab delivery signatures using `get_proof_of_delivery` to build automated dispute-resolution workflows. The tool returns clean JSON payloads so you can map fields to your database schema instantly.

Setup guide

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)

1

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".
2

Add the FedEx MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
