What you can do with Shipday in Claude and ChatGPT

For restaurants and local delivery businesses who dispatch orders with Shipday.

See active delivery orders and their status

The AI lists active orders with customer, pickup place, driver, costs and order state, and opens an order by its order number.

Search past orders by time and status

The AI searches orders, including completed ones, in a time window by status, with timestamps, totals, distance and carrier.

Check which drivers are on shift

The AI lists your drivers with phone, whether they are on shift or active, and their last known location.

Compare on-demand delivery options and fees

The AI gets fee and time estimates from third-party delivery services for an order, or for a pickup and delivery address, before you book. Nothing is booked.

Create an order and assign or remove a driver

The AI creates a delivery order, then assigns it to one of your drivers, or removes the driver again.

Changes data

Mark an order ready for pickup

The AI sets the ready-to-pickup flag of an order so the driver knows it is ready.

How do I connect Shipday?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Shipday API key.

Find it in the Shipday Dispatch Dashboard → My Account → API key. Your key is used only to call the Shipday API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.

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 shipday https://shipday.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

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

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://shipday.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 Shipday API key. 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 company$9/mo · $90/yr10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per company$39/mo · $390/yr100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this Shipday server only. Ask your AI to run shipday_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 shipday_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 shipday_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)shipday_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 featureshipday_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Shipday 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+shipday_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Shipday (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 subscriptionshipday_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Shipday 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 shipday_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Shipday in Claude or ChatGPT?

See active delivery orders and their status. Search past orders by time and status. Check which drivers are on shift. Compare on-demand delivery options and fees. Create an order and assign or remove a driver. Mark an order ready for pickup. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Shipday product?

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

Can I connect Shipday 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 Shipday API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Shipday 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 Shipday API key. 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 Shipday credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Shipday 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 Shipday.

Can the AI change my Shipday data?

Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 14 Shipday tools can create or change data. The other 10 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 Shipday server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run shipday_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run shipday_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 shipday_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Shipday tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with shipday_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.
