Frequently asked questions
How can I track the history of stock movements for a specific product?
You can use the list_inventory_changes tool by providing the product SKU. It will return a detailed history of inventory adjustments, helping you audit stock movements over time.
Is it possible to bulk update inventory levels across my warehouse?
Yes! The sync_inventory tool allows you to provide a URL to a CSV file containing your inventory data. The server will process the file and sync the levels for the specified warehouse ID.
What should I do if I only have a legacy numeric ID for an order or product?
Use the get_uuid tool. It is specifically designed to convert legacy numeric IDs into the opaque UUIDs required by the modern ShipHero API for entities like Orders or Products.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
