Key Capabilities
Get API Health Status for the Team
Before committing any code, run `get_api_status`. This confirms that our MCP Server connection is operational across the team. Everyone uses the same single source of truth. It’s crucial for shared repos because it guarantees the underlying data layer hasn't broken since the last commit.
List Supported Carriers Across Repos
If a new developer joins, they can use `list_couriers` to see all supported carriers instantly. This documentation is now part of the shared codebase. To narrow it down, run `search_couriers` with specific names like 'FedEx' or regional services.
Manage and Update Tracker Metadata
The team can use `update_tracker_info` to ensure all trackers have the correct internal metadata before starting a job. This keeps our tracking records clean. If you need to track many items, use `create_bulk_trackers`. It handles large data sets so your whole team stays on the same page.
