List stores, search and get orders, update order status and cancel orders in ShippingEasy. For e-commerce merchants who ship orders through ShippingEasy. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"shippingeasy": {
"url": "https://shippingeasy.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"shippingeasy": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://shippingeasy.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
Search orders across all stores by last update time, status, order number or tag. Then get one order to read its recipients and line items.
shippingeasy_search_orders shippingeasy_get_order
List the stores with their store API keys. Then search the orders of one store by its key, with the same filters.
shippingeasy_list_stores shippingeasy_search_store_orders
Find the store API key in the store list. Then set the status of one order by its external order identifier. The new status shows in ShippingEasy.
Changes data · shippingeasy_list_stores shippingeasy_update_order_status
Read the order by its id first. Then cancel it in ShippingEasy, so the order is not shipped from there.

The login page asks for your API key and API secret.
Find both in ShippingEasy → Settings → API Credentials. Your keys are used only to sign calls to ShippingEasy on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone.
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 and API secret. 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.
Turn on the ShippingEasy connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
shippingeasy_list_stores | read | List stores List all stores of this ShippingEasy account, with the store API key of each store. Use a store API key in the store tools. Uses GET /api/stores. |
shippingeasy_search_orders | read | Search orders Search orders across all stores of this account. Filter by last update time, status, order number or tag. Uses GET /api/orders. |
shippingeasy_search_store_orders | read | Search store orders Search orders of one store, by its store API key. Same filters as shippingeasy_search_orders. Uses GET /api/stores/{store_api_key}/orders. |
shippingeasy_get_order | read | Get an order Get one order by its ShippingEasy order id, with its recipients and line items. Uses GET /api/orders/{id}. |
shippingeasy_update_order_status | write | Update order status Set the store order status of one order, by its external order identifier. Sets the Status shown in ShippingEasy. Uses PUT /api/stores/{store_api_key}/orders/{external_order_identifier}/status. |
shippingeasy_cancel_order | write | Cancel an order Cancel an order in ShippingEasy, so it is not shipped from there. Use it when the order was shipped or cancelled outside ShippingEasy. Uses POST /api/stores/{store_api_key}/orders/{order_id}/cancellations. |
shippingeasy_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) 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. | |
shippingeasy_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the ShippingEasy 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. | |
shippingeasy_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on ShippingEasy (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
shippingeasy_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's ShippingEasy 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 shippingeasy_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this ShippingEasy server only. Subscribe with shippingeasy_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with shippingeasy_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running shippingeasy_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Review orders that changed recently. List the orders of one store. Update the status of an order. Cancel an order shipped elsewhere. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ShippingEasy. The server calls the ShippingEasy API with your own ShippingEasy access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
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.
The login page asks for your API key and API secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.
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 and API secret. 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the ShippingEasy 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 ShippingEasy.
Yes, if you approve it. 2 of the 6 ShippingEasy tools can create or change data. The other 4 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this ShippingEasy server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run shippingeasy_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run shippingeasy_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run shippingeasy_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with shippingeasy_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.
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.
