Frequently asked questions
Can I check shipping rates for a specific order before creating a label?
Yes! Use the get_rates tool. Provide the carrier, service, and package details to receive real-time pricing for your shipment.
How do I list all orders that are currently awaiting shipment?
You can use the list_orders tool and set the order_status parameter to 'awaiting_shipment'. This will return all orders ready for fulfillment.
Is it possible to add funds to my carrier account through the AI?
Yes, the add_funds tool allows you to add a specific amount to a carrier account (like Stamps.com) using the payment method you have on file in ShipStation.

Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
