About Shipday MCP Server
Connect your Shipday account to any AI agent and take full control of your last-mile delivery and dispatch orchestration through natural conversation. Shipday provides a premier platform for managing local delivery operations, and this integration allows you to retrieve order metadata, assign drivers, and track delivery progress directly from your chat interface.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 9 tools from Shipday through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Shipday, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
What you can do
- Order & Dispatch Orchestration — List all managed delivery orders and retrieve detailed metadata, including status and customer info programmatically.
- Driver Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor your driver directory and assign drivers to specific orders directly from the AI interface.
- Delivery Progress Intelligence — Retrieve real-time tracking progress for active orders to keep your customers informed via natural language.
- Status Lifecycle Control — Update order statuses and monitor carrier metadata to ensure your delivery pipeline is always synchronized.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity and monitor order fulfillment to ensure reliable last-mile orchestration using simple AI commands.
The Shipday MCP Server exposes 9 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Shipday + OpenAI Agents SDK FAQ
Common questions about integrating Shipday MCP Server with OpenAI Agents SDK.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
