What is the ShipBob MCP Server?
Connect your ShipBob account to any AI agent and take full control of your e-commerce fulfillment and supply chain through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Order Management — List, retrieve, and create fulfillment orders. Check real-time statuses and cancel orders when necessary.
- Product Catalog — Manage your virtual product records, list variants, and convert items into bundles directly from the chat.
- Inventory Tracking — Monitor inventory levels across different locations, check lot-specific data, and query historical inventory movements.
- Shipment Visibility — Get detailed tracking information and update shipment addresses to ensure successful deliveries.
- Returns & Receiving — Create and manage return orders and Warehouse Receiving Orders (WRO) to keep your supply chain moving.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ShipBob API Token

Frequently asked questions
Can I check the status of a specific order using its ID?
Yes! Use the get_order tool with the Order ID. Your agent will return the current fulfillment status, tracking information, and shipment details associated with that order.
How do I see current inventory levels across different warehouse locations?
You can use the get_inventory_levels_by_location tool. It provides a breakdown of on-hand, fulfillable, and committed inventory for each ShipBob fulfillment center.
Is it possible to cancel an order through the AI agent?
Yes, if the order is in a cancellable state, you can use the cancel_order tool by providing the Order ID to stop the fulfillment process.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call ShipBob tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
