How to Use the Shipmondo MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I make Shipmondo available to my whole engineering team?

You create and commit the .vscode/mcp.json file to your project's root directory. This ensures that every developer pulling the repo gets access to these specific tools automatically.

Q: Can this handle returns for large teams?

Yes. The listreturns tool provides a unified view of all return shipments, allowing your team to build standardized logic for managing reverse logistics across Europe.

Q: Does it support multiple carriers?

It does. The listcarriers tool gives visibility into all available providers, letting your team select the optimal carrier based on cost or speed requirements for any destination.

Perplexity

Ensure accurate rate quoting across teams.

You don't want different developers using different rates. By committing `list_carriers` and `get_shipping_quote` to the repo, every developer on the team uses the same source for calculating costs. This keeps your cross-border pricing consistent.

Standardize order data retrieval.

When building new features, developers can rely on `get_order` and `list_orders`. Every developer gets the exact sales order structure needed to initiate a shipment or manage returns for European clients.

Manage inventory locations centrally.

This tool set standardizes logistics knowledge. Use `list_warehouses` and `list_pickpoints` so that every team member knows exactly which fulfillment centers and local drop-off spots are available for a shipment.

Setup guide
