About FedEx MCP Server
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the FedEx API suite for end-to-end logistics management:
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple FedEx tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 9 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
- Track packages in real-time with detailed scan history and delivery estimates
- Track multiple packages simultaneously for batch monitoring
- Get shipping rates across all FedEx services (Express, Ground, Freight)
- Create shipments and generate shipping labels directly
- Validate addresses to prevent delivery failures
- Find nearby FedEx locations (offices, drop boxes, ship centers)
- Verify postal codes and check service availability between locations
- Get proof of delivery documents for completed shipments
