Frequently asked questions about the ShipEngine MCP Server
Can my AI automatically validate a shipping address just by providing the street, city, and zip code?
Yes! Use the validate_address tool. Your agent will check if the address is valid, residential/commercial, and formatted correctly according to carrier standards.
How do I compare shipping rates for a specific package across different carriers?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_rates action with the shipment details. It will retrieve and compare pricing from all configured carrier accounts.
How do I find my ShipEngine API Key?
Log in to your ShipEngine dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Management, and you will find your unique secret API Key there.
