How to Use the Ship24 MCP in LangChain

Q: How do I check API connectivity with Ship24 and LangChain?

Just run getapistatus. Your AI client will immediately tell you if the MCP Server is connected and ready for action. This is a quick health check before running any major tracking job.

Q: Can I find an old package using Ship24 and LangChain?

Yeah, you can run findtrackerbynumber. The client just needs the tracking number to pull up all historical data for that specific shipment. It’s fast.

Q: Does Ship24 support multiple carriers with LangChain?

Absolutely. You can use listcouriers or searchcouriers to see exactly which partners are covered. The MCP Server handles the logic for all 1200+ carriers.

Q: What if I need to stop tracking a shipment?

You use the deletetracker tool. It stops any active job associated with that tracker number right away, cleaning up your system and billing.

Orchestrate Tracking Flows with LangChain

You can build workflows where the agent first calls `list_couriers` to identify a carrier. Then, it uses that information to call `create_bulk_trackers`, setting up the entire tracking job in one sequence. This chain pattern allows your AI client to manage complex logic: check status via `get_tracking_results`, and if the result is 'pending,' wait and then re-run `get_live_tracking` until a final state is reached.

Manage Multiple Shipments in Bulk

Don't track packages one by one. The agent can call `create_bulk_trackers`, submitting hundreds of numbers at once. After submission, it uses `list_active_trackers` to monitor the entire group until all shipments are fully processed. It also lets you retrieve details on what was submitted using `list_bulk_trackers`. This makes tracking massive orders simple for your agent.

Search and Verify Carrier Details

Need to know if a carrier is supported? The client can execute `search_couriers` or simply run `list_couriers` to get the full list of partners. If you need to update metadata for an existing job, it calls `update_tracker_info`. This gives your agent the necessary context before any tracking starts.

Setup guide

Set up Ship24 MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes Ship24 tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "ship24-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent Ship24 transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
