What you can do with Lalamove in Claude and ChatGPT

For shops and businesses who book on-demand deliveries with Lalamove.

Check which vehicle types a city offers

The AI lists the cities of your market with vehicle types such as MOTORCYCLE or CAR, their size and load, and the special requests each vehicle accepts.

Track a delivery and see its driver

The AI reads an order's status, proof of delivery and share link, and the driver's name and live location when the driver is on the way.

Get a price quote for a delivery

The AI prices a delivery with a pickup, up to 15 drop-offs and a vehicle type, and returns the price breakdown and distance. Nothing is ordered or charged.

Changes data

Place a delivery order from a quotation

After you see and accept the price, the AI places the order from the quotation. It charges your prepaid wallet and a driver is dispatched.

Changes data

Add a priority fee, change the driver or cancel

The AI adds a higher priority fee to attract a driver, asks for a new driver, or cancels an order when Lalamove's rules allow it.

How do I connect Lalamove?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment.

Find them in the Lalamove Partner Portal (partnerportal.lalamove.com) under the Developers tab; switch the environment at the top right to see the sandbox or the production pair. Production keys (pk_prod / sk_prod) need a topped-up wallet. Choose the market the keys were issued for. Your secret is used only to sign requests to the Lalamove API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

  4. In Plugins, install Lalamove, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http lalamove https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lalamove": {
      "url": "https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "lalamove": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add lalamove --url https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login lalamove

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Pricing

Free$050 tool calls / month
Proper user$9/mo · $90/yr10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per user$39/mo · $390/yr100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Lalamove server only. Ask your AI to run lalamove_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with lalamove_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with lalamove_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Read only · 5

  • List cities, vehicles and special requestslalamove_list_cities
    The cities of the connected market with the vehicle types (serviceType keys such as MOTORCYCLE or CAR), their size and load, and the special requests each vehicle accepts. Use these exact keys in lalamove_create_quotation.
  • Get quotationlalamove_get_quotation
    A quotation by id: stops (with stopId), vehicle, price breakdown, currency, distance and expiresAt (a quotation can be ordered for 5 minutes).
  • Get orderlalamove_get_order
    One delivery order: status (ASSIGNING_DRIVER, ON_GOING, PICKED_UP, COMPLETED, CANCELED, REJECTED, EXPIRED), price breakdown, driver id, share link, distance, stops with proof of delivery and metadata. Only orders from the last 60 days can be read.
  • Get driver and locationlalamove_get_driver
    The driver of an order: name, phone, masked plate number, photo and last known coordinates (updated about every 10 seconds). Lalamove only shares this from 1 hour before the scheduled pickup (or the driver's arrival, whichever is earlier) until the order is completed; outside that window it answers 403.
  • Track orderlalamove_track_order
    Where is my delivery: the order status, stop-level proof of delivery and share link, plus (when a driver has the order and it is on its way) the driver's name and live coordinates. Two reads: GET /v3/orders/{orderId} and, if a driver is assigned and the order is ON_GOING or PICKED_UP, GET /v3/orders/{orderId}/drivers/{driverId}.

  • Get a delivery quotationlalamove_create_quotation
    Price a delivery: 2-16 stops (the first is the pickup, the rest are drop-offs), a vehicle type and optional extras. Returns quotationId, per-stop stopId, the price breakdown and currency, distance and expiresAt (about 5 minutes). It creates a quotation only: nothing is ordered and nothing is charged. Get the vehicle keys from lalamove_list_cities. Show the price to the user before placing an order.
  • Place delivery order (charges the wallet)lalamove_place_order
    WRITE, SPENDS MONEY: order a delivery from a quotation. In production the total price is charged to the prepaid Lalamove wallet and a driver is dispatched; cancellation is only free within Lalamove's policy. Only call it after the user has seen the quotation price and said yes. confirm_total must equal the quotation total (it is checked against Lalamove, and an expired quotation is refused). The recipients are given in stop order and matched to the quotation's drop-off stops by the tool. The order is placed once: do not retry after an error without checking lalamove_get_order.
  • Add priority fee (tip, charges the wallet)lalamove_add_priority_fee
    WRITE, SPENDS MONEY: add a priority fee (tip) to an order to attract a driver. Only possible before a driver accepts the order. The amount replaces the earlier fee and must be higher than it; the difference is charged to the wallet. Amount in the market's currency (see the order's priceBreakdown.currency).
  • Cancel orderlalamove_cancel_order
    WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: cancel a delivery order. Lalamove only allows it while the order is ASSIGNING_DRIVER, or less than 5 minutes after a driver accepted it; otherwise it answers ERR_CANCELLATION_FORBIDDEN. A cancelled order cannot be revived, only re-placed from a new quotation.
  • Change driverlalamove_change_driver
    WRITE: ask Lalamove to replace the driver of an order (no extra fee). Allowed 15 minutes after the driver was matched and before pickup; the order goes back to ASSIGNING_DRIVER and a new driver is looked for. Needs the current driver id from lalamove_get_order.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)lalamove_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featurelalamove_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Lalamove tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+lalamove_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Lalamove (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionlalamove_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Lalamove Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run lalamove_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Lalamove in Claude or ChatGPT?

Check which vehicle types a city offers. Track a delivery and see its driver. Get a price quote for a delivery. Place a delivery order from a quotation. Add a priority fee, change the driver or cancel. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Lalamove product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lalamove. The server calls the Lalamove API with your own Lalamove access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Lalamove to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Lalamove key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Lalamove credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Lalamove API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Lalamove.

Can the AI change my Lalamove data?

Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 10 Lalamove tools can create or change data. The other 5 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Lalamove server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run lalamove_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run lalamove_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run lalamove_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Lalamove tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with lalamove_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
