How to Use the Shipday MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I get Shipday tracking progress using Claude Code?

Just run the command gettrackingprogress . The output is pure JSON, which your shell script can immediately parse and pass to subsequent commands.

Q: Can Claude Code manage Shipday order creation?

Yes. You simply execute createorder from the terminal, providing all necessary parameters like customer details and restaurant info. It's ideal for CI/CD pipelines.

Q: What data does Shipday touch when using Claude Code for status updates?

The script can call updateorderstatus directly, changing the record state in bulk. The resulting change is immediately visible and logged by the CLI client.

Q: If I list active Shipday orders with Claude Code, what tools run?

You start by running listactiveorders. This gives you a master list of IDs. You can then pipe those IDs into another script that runs getorder on each one.

Q: Does Shipday update tracking progress require Claude Code's help?

No, but the CLI client is perfect for it. You wrap the gettrackingprogress call in a loop that runs every minute, ensuring continuous monitoring and logging.

Scripting Order Creation and Tracking.

Need to onboard a batch of new orders? Use `create_order` in your shell script. Pipe the output into a log file for auditing purposes. You can then use `get_tracking_progress` later in the same script to poll status updates. This is perfect for automated testing or nightly data syncs. The entire workflow runs headless, generating structured JSON output you can feed into another service.

Managing Order Lifecycle via CLI.

Write a job that cleans up old records. Call `list_active_orders` to identify targets, then loop through the IDs and run `delete_order`. This is great for batch cancellation scripts. Alternatively, you can use `get_carrier_order` to pull data from an external system and compare it against your internal state using `get_order`.

Automated Driver Assignment Checks.

Set up a cron job that runs periodically. This script calls `list_drivers` to check capacity, then uses `assign_driver` to automatically dispatch jobs when resources allow. You can log the success or failure of every assignment. This mechanism keeps your system running without human input, making sure drivers are always assigned efficiently.
