Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This server provides 28 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The ShipStation MCP Server

Today, getting a full view of an order's status means jumping between four systems: your storefront for the original order details; the carrier website to check tracking; the inventory dashboard to verify stock; and finally, back to ShipStation just to print the label. It’s painful copy-pasting and tab-switching all day long.

With this server, you tell your agent exactly what you need—for example, 'List all orders for John Smith.' The agent runs `list_orders` and pulls in details from multiple sources, giving you a clean list of actionable items. You just get the answer.

Create Labeling via ShipStation MCP Server

Before this, creating a label meant logging into the platform, selecting an order ID, verifying the weight manually, and then clicking 'Generate Label.' If you needed to void it later, you had to find that specific job record again.

Now, tell your agent: 'Create a shipping label for Order #12345.' The agent runs `create_label_for_order` and handles the entire process, giving you the final result without any extra clicks or context switching.

What you can do with this MCP connector

ShipStation MCP Server connects your AI agent directly to ShipStation's entire logistics backend. You can manage orders, check carrier rates, create labels, and update shipment status—all from natural conversation. Stop switching between browser tabs; you control the whole e-commerce fulfillment workflow with this server.

If you don't have an account set up yet, your agent runs register_account to get you started. Once connected, it pulls data for all your active carriers by running list_carriers, and then lets you check a specific carrier's balance or pull their details using get_carrier. If you need more money in the account, you just call add_funds.

To keep track of where stuff is going, your agent can list all available store locations with list_stores, retrieve the configuration for one specific location using get_store, or even update settings with update_store. You'll also get a full picture of your physical inventory by listing defined warehouse spots via list_warehouses.

When it comes to orders, you never have to guess what’s happening. Your agent pulls general order lists using list_orders, letting you filter everything by date range or status. Need something more specific? You can pull details for a single order with its ID via get_order. If you need to see multiple customers in one go, your agent runs list_customers and lets you narrow that down by name or date.

For better organization, it lists all your custom tags using list_tags, allowing you to filter huge batches of orders based on those tags with list_orders_by_tag. You can also list every order attached to a specific store location.

Need to make changes? Your agent handles that too. You can apply or remove organization tags from an order using add_tag_to_order or remove_tag_from_order. If you find an old label or need to adjust records, your agent lets you modify the store setup with update_store, or void a printed label instantly by calling void_label.

Shipping rates are no sweat. When you know the package size, weight, and destination, your agent runs get_rates and gives you real-time quotes across multiple carriers. To see what services are available for any given carrier—say, Ground versus Express—it calls list_services, and if you need to know exactly what packaging options exist, it uses list_packages.

You can generate a label either directly from an existing order using create_label_for_order or manually create one for a random package that wasn't part of a formal sale by running create_shipment_label.

After the package leaves the dock, your agent updates the record status with mark_as_shipped. To keep everything clean, you can list every label created and managed so far using list_shipments.

For advanced setup, your agent manages data feeds. It lets you set up a webhook to automatically notify another system when something happens in ShipStation by running subscribe_webhook, or it tears down that connection with unsubscribe_webhook. You can always check which webhooks are active using list_webhooks and list_webhooks.

This server gives you complete visibility: list all your connected carriers with list_carriers, manage multiple stores and warehouses, and process every step of fulfillment without touching a browser tab.

Common Questions About ShipStation MCP

How do I check carrier balances using ShipStation MCP Server? +

You use get_carrier. Just tell your agent which carrier (e.g., 'FedEx') and ask for the balance, and it retrieves that detail.

Can I list all orders by status using ShipStation MCP Server? +

Yes, use list_orders_by_tag. This tool lets you filter orders based on their current status or custom tags, making bulk retrieval simple.

What if my shipment isn't tied to an order? Can I still label it? +

You can use create_shipment_label. This tool handles manual shipments, letting you create a label even when the package didn't originate from a formal e-commerce order.

Is there a way to bulk update multiple orders? +

You can use list_orders and then follow up with actions like mark_as_shipped or add_tag_to_order on the returned list of IDs, automating bulk updates.

What do I need to set up ShipStation MCP Server with my account? +

You must provide your ShipStation API Key and API Secret for the server to connect. These credentials authorize your AI client to perform actions on your behalf. After connecting, your agent can immediately start listing carriers or checking customer details.

How does ShipStation MCP Server manage store configuration changes? +

You use the update_store tool to modify store settings and the list_stores tool to view current configurations. This lets your agent keep all your selling channels synchronized without manual adjustments.

What happens if I hit an API rate limit while using ShipStation MCP Server? +

If a command fails due to rate limits, the server reports the error and you can queue up subsequent tasks. It's best practice to run large batch jobs in smaller groups to prevent service interruptions.

How do I categorize or filter orders using ShipStation MCP Server? +

You use tags to organize your workflow. With the add_tag_to_order tool, you can assign a tag and then use list_orders_by_tag to pull up only the relevant shipments.

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.
