Short answer

How can I get shipping quotes using my AI?

Give your AI the package weight and the destination zip code. It uses the Correios API to return a list of available service levels, their specific costs, and estimated delivery times. You'll get a clear breakdown of options for every shipment.

The outcomes

What you get from your AI

The AI turns raw logistics data into actionable shipping choices.

QUOTES

Instant price lists

The AI pulls current rates from Correios based on your package details. You get a list of costs for different shipping speeds.

TIMELINES

Delivery estimates

Your agent calculates how long each service takes to reach the destination zip code. This helps you set customer expectations.

OPTIONS

Service level comparisons

The AI compares express versus standard services. You can see which option fits your budget or urgency best.

DECISIONS

Human review needed

The AI presents the data, but you decide which service to book. It won't finalize a shipment or charge a card without your command.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the Correios logistics engine.

  1. Parse shipment details

    Your agent extracts the necessary weight and zip code from your message. It ensures the data is ready for the API call.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI book the shipment for me?

    No. The AI only retrieves quotes and deadlines. You must handle the actual booking through the official Correios platform.

  • 02

    Does the AI charge my credit card?

    No. This MCP only reads data from the API. It has no access to your payment methods or financial accounts.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide the weight every time?

    Yes. The API requires the weight and the destination zip code to generate an accurate quote.

  • 04

    Can the AI change the shipping service after I pick one?

    The AI can provide new quotes if you change the details, but it cannot modify a shipment that has already been processed elsewhere.

  • 05

    Will the AI remember my previous shipments?

    The AI only knows what is in your current chat history. It does not store a permanent database of your past shipping logs.
