How to Use the Ship24 MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How does Ship24 and LlamaIndex handle live status updates?

You run getlivetracking. The result is immediately available to index, so you can ask questions about the current location or predicted delivery time in past queries.

Q: What if I need to find a tracker number using Ship24 and LlamaIndex?

You use findtrackerbynumber. The output is stored in your knowledge index, allowing you to query by the tracking number even weeks later without running the initial API call again.

Q: Does Ship24 support multiple carriers with LlamaIndex?

Yes. You can run listcouriers and then use searchcouriers to confirm coverage for any partner. The MCP Server makes sure the index covers all global options.

Q: Can I update tracker information using Ship24 and LlamaIndex?

Sure. Use updatetrackerinfo. This function's output (the updated metadata) is written to your knowledge base, making the change searchable for future queries.

Indexing Tracking History via LlamaIndex

When you run a tracking job, the output becomes part of your index. The client can use `get_tracking_results` to pull status updates which get saved into your vector store. You can then query past sessions and ask questions like 'Why did shipment X fail on Tuesday?' This means your AI agent doesn't just call a tool; it builds institutional knowledge from the API data.

Bulk Data Ingestion with LlamaIndex

Need to track 50 shipments and remember every detail? Use `create_bulk_trackers`. The results are indexed, giving you a searchable record of all those items. Later, your agent can retrieve specific details using `list_bulk_trackers` from the knowledge base. This is perfect for analyzing large batches of logistics data.

Understanding Carrier Capabilities with LlamaIndex

Before running a job, your agent can use `search_couriers` to check support details for specific carriers like FedEx or Correios. These successful searches are indexed. If you have multiple servers feeding into one index, the MCP Server provides consistent data. It helps ground answers in verifiable API facts.

Setup guide

Set up Ship24 MCP in LlamaIndex

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.
2

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Ship24 MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Ship24 tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Ship24 data")
