Get courier quotes, book and pay for shipments, track parcels and cancel bookings in Transdirect. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Transdirect connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For Australian businesses that ship parcels with Transdirect couriers.
Look up the suburb and postcode of each address. Get courier quotes for the parcel. Quotes create a draft booking only, and nothing is paid.
Changes dataList the saved payment methods. After the user approves the courier, the price and the payment method, confirm the draft booking. Transdirect charges that payment method.
Changes dataGet a signed link to the label PDF of a booking. Track a shipment by its reference or connote to see its state and events.
List the bookings since a date. Then open one booking to read its status, payment flag, courier and cost.
Cancel a booking after the user approves it. Transdirect applies its own refund, courier cancellation or support escalation.
Changes dataThe login page asks for your Transdirect Custom API key.
Find it in Transdirect → Settings → Integrations → Custom API → Connect. The key is used only to call the Transdirect API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone. Anyone with the key can book and pay on your account, so keep it private.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"transdirect": {
"url": "https://transdirect.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"transdirect": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://transdirect.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
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.
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 Transdirect Custom 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.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Transdirect. The server calls the Transdirect API with your own Transdirect 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 Transdirect Custom API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.
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 Transdirect Custom 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.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Transdirect 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 Transdirect.
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 11 Transdirect 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.
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 Transdirect server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run transdirect_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run transdirect_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run transdirect_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 transdirect_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.
