Does this MCP handle all major shipping carriers?

Yes. The system supports tracking numbers across 600+ couriers. It can also automatically detect the carrier even if you don't know which company is routing the package.

Can I use this for internal tracking, not just customer orders?

Absolutely. You can use it to track inbound shipments from suppliers or monitor internal inventory movements, giving you full supply chain oversight.

What kind of data do I get when I check a tracking number?

You get detailed technical metadata, including the current location, the delivery estimate, and the full history of the shipment's status changes.

Is this just a list of tracking numbers, or does it do more?

It does much more. You can use it to flag shipments with 'Exception' status, list all active couriers, and create new tracking records to start monitoring immediately.

What if I don't know the carrier for a number?

No problem. You can use the dedicated capability to analyze the raw tracking number format, and the MCP will automatically identify the likely carrier for you.

How do I add a new tracking number?

Use the create_tracking capability and provide the tracking number and the courier slug (e.g., 'fedex', 'dhl'). Your agent will add it to AfterShip and start monitoring the status.

Can the agent automatically detect the courier?

Yes! Use the detect_courier capability with any tracking number. AfterShip will analyze the format and return a list of potential carrier matches.

What tracking statuses are supported?

AfterShip normalizes tracking data into standard statuses: Pending, In Transit, Out for Delivery, Delivered, Exception, and Failed Attempt.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Handling Customer Inquiries

A customer asks, 'Where is my order?' Your agent uses the tracking details capability to pull the current location and delivery estimate instantly.

Auditing Carrier Performance

You ask the AI to list all shipments and then filter them by 'Exception' status to see which carriers are failing to deliver on time.

Onboarding New Products

When a new supplier starts shipping, you use the capability to register the first tracking number, initiating real-time monitoring right away.

Bulk Status Checks

You need to know the status of 50 packages. Instead of 50 searches, you ask the AI to list all tracked shipments for a summary report.

Automate a task

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put AfterShip Tracking to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
