Retrieve Package Status for Code

To get the status, you call `get_tracking_results`. The result is a clean JSON object that your agent can inject directly into the function you're writing. This means no more mock data. If you only have a number and nothing else, use `find_tracker_by_number` to pull the necessary context right into your current code block.

Manage Tracking Records in Code

`list_active_trackers` lets your agent fetch all currently tracked items and list them as a variable. You can then iterate over that data structure to build out the rest of your logic. When you need to start tracking a new batch for testing, use `create_bulk_trackers`. The API response is clean code ready to consume.

Validate Carrier Support in Project Scope

Need to confirm which couriers are available? Call `search_couriers` and provide the carrier name. This returns a structured list you can use for conditional logic in your code. To get a quick health check on our tools, run `get_api_status`. Your agent gets an immediate pass/fail status that you can write checks against.

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 Ship24 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.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Ship24 transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Ship24 tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.
