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.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
