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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
