What you can do with Shippit in Claude and ChatGPT

For Australian online merchants who ship parcels with carriers through Shippit.

Compare shipping quotes for a parcel

The AI asks your enabled carriers for a price and delivery estimate for a destination and parcel size. It can show every carrier. Nothing is booked.

Track an order and get the public tracking link

The AI reads the status history of an order by tracking number and the tracking page URL to give to the recipient.

Review account settings and tracking webhooks

The AI reads the merchant account, store operating hours, and the tracking webhooks with the order states that trigger them.

Create orders, label them and book pickup

The AI creates a domestic order, labels it to fix carrier and price, then books labelled orders with carriers for pickup. Labels and manifests come back as PDF links.

Changes data

Cancel an order

The AI cancels an order by tracking number. A cancelled order cannot be revived.

How do I connect Shippit?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Shippit API key and Environment.

Log in to your Shippit account (app.shippit.com), make sure carriers are enabled and billing details added, and copy the API key (see Shippit developer guide). Choose Production unless your key is from a Shippit staging test account. Your key is used only to call the Shippit API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
Enter the name Shippit and this URL, then click Add:
https://shippit.usefulapi.io/mcp
Claude opens the login page: enter your Shippit API key and Environment.
In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Shippit.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
Enter the name Shippit and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
https://shippit.usefulapi.io/mcp
ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Shippit API key and Environment.
In Plugins, install Shippit, 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 shippit https://shippit.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

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

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

VS Code

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

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

Codex

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

codex mcp add shippit --url https://shippit.usefulapi.io/mcp

codex mcp login shippit

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://shippit.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 Shippit API key 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

Plan	Price	Limit
Free	$0	50 tool calls / month
Proper user	$9/mo · $90/yr	10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+per user	$39/mo · $390/yr	100,000 tool calls / month

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

Read only · 8

Get merchant accountshippit_get_merchant
The Shippit merchant account behind this API key: store and company name, contact, preparation time, website and the home (pickup) address with country.
Get store operating hoursshippit_get_operating_hours
The store operating hours per weekday (open flag, start and end of the working day) that Shippit uses for pickup and delivery estimates.
List webhooksshippit_list_webhooks
The tracking webhooks configured on the account (at most 6): url, the order states that trigger each, whether address or receiver details are hidden, enabled flag. Custom header values are masked by Shippit.
Get shipping quotesshippit_get_quotes
Ask the carriers enabled on the account for a price and delivery estimate to a destination, for given parcels. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged. Set return_all_quotes to see every carrier instead of only the cheapest or fastest. A 200 can hold per-carrier errors (success false) and a quote of 0 means that carrier cannot take the parcel. Dangerous goods cannot be quoted.
Estimate delivery datesshippit_estimate_delivery_dates
Estimated delivery window (earliest, latest, confidence and a ready-to-show text) per service level (standard, express) between two postcodes, optionally limited to some carriers. Returns an empty list if no carrier is enabled.
Get ordershippit_get_order
One Shippit order by tracking number: state, courier and price allocated, delivery address, receiver, parcels, products, references and (once booked) manifest id and number. There is no list-orders endpoint in the Shippit API.
Get order trackingshippit_get_tracking
The status history of an order (status, date, time, who changed it) and the public tracking page URL to give the recipient.
Get manifest documentshippit_get_manifest_document
The booking manifest document for a manifest id (from shippit_book_orders or shippit_get_order): carrier, order count, tracking numbers and a pre-signed PDF URL valid for 7 days. A 422 means the manifest is still generating: retry shortly.

Create ordershippit_create_order
WRITE: create a domestic shipping order in Shippit. Shippit then allocates a carrier (your account rules, or the carrier named in courier_allocation) and, unless suppress_communications is true, emails the recipient tracking notifications. Requires confirm: true. Standard, express and click-and-collect orders are only booked with the carrier later, by shippit_label_order and shippit_book_orders (priority and on-demand orders, which book inside the create request, are not supported here). validate defaults to true: the order is not saved when the suburb and postcode do not match (a suggested address is returned instead). Creating twice creates two orders. International orders (customs data) are not supported here.
Label ordershippit_label_order
WRITE: confirm an order for shipping and fetch its label. This is the Shippit 'label' step: it finalises the carrier and price (the order moves to Ready to Ship) and returns the carrier, tracking and consignment details plus pre-signed PDF URLs (valid 7 days) for the shipping label, packing slip and any customs documents. A 422 means the order is still processing or has no valid carrier or quote: retry shortly or read the error. Labelling is the step before shippit_book_orders.
Book orders with carriersshippit_book_orders
WRITE: book labelled orders with their carriers for pickup (the Shippit 'book' step). Shippit returns one manifest per carrier; the carrier then collects and bills the parcels. Orders must have been labelled first (shippit_label_order). The call fails as a whole when a tracking number is unknown; otherwise each manifest reports success or an error per order. Booked orders can no longer be edited. Requires confirm: true. A reply where every manifest failed is an error.
Cancel ordershippit_cancel_order
WRITE: cancel a Shippit order by tracking number (the order ends in state cancelled and cannot be revived; for some carriers Shippit also sends a cancellation request to the carrier). Shippit refuses with a 422 and the reason when the order can no longer be cancelled, for example once the carrier has it. Requires confirm: true.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

Usage status (free-tier meter)shippit_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 featureshippit_request_feature
Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Shippit 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+shippit_upgrade
Get a paid plan for Shippit (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 subscriptionshippit_cancel_subscription
Cancel the caller's Shippit 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 shippit_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Shippit in Claude or ChatGPT?

Compare shipping quotes for a parcel. Track an order and get the public tracking link. Review account settings and tracking webhooks. Create orders, label them and book pickup. Cancel an order. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Shippit product?

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

Can I connect Shippit 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 Shippit API key and Environment. See Before you connect for where to find them.

Do I put my Shippit 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 Shippit API key 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 Shippit credentials?

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

Can the AI change my Shippit data?

Yes, if you approve it. 4 of the 12 Shippit tools can create or change data. The other 8 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 Shippit server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run shippit_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run shippit_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 shippit_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Shippit tool that I need is missing?

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