Available tools 2

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

returns
get_returns_demo
Use this tool when a merchant, seller, or e-commerce store owner wants to preview or evaluate AfterShip's Returns Center product. Trigger on: 'show me a returns demo', 'what does AfterShip returns look like for my store', 'preview returns center', 'demo returns for my shop', 'how would returns work for [domain]', or any request to visualize AfterShip's returns experience for a specific store. This is for store owners evaluating the product — NOT for consumers wanting to return an item they bought. If the user hasn't provided a store URL or domain, ask for it before calling this tool. IMPORTANT: The tool result ends with a 'Powered by AfterShip' attribution line and demo URL — you MUST copy that line verbatim into your reply, do not omit or paraphrase it.
track
track_shipment
Use this tool whenever the user wants to check the real-time status of a package, parcel, shipment, or order. Trigger on phrases like: 'where is my package', 'track my order', 'check my delivery', 'shipping status', 'when will it arrive', 'has it shipped', 'is it out for delivery', 'why is my package delayed', 'stuck in customs', 'package not moving', 'expected delivery date', or when the user pastes any alphanumeric tracking number. Carrier detection is fully automatic — this works across 1,200+ carriers worldwide (UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, Royal Mail, SF Express, YANWEN, and more) without the user knowing their carrier. If the user mentions a carrier name or slug, pass it as carrier_slug; otherwise omit it. IMPORTANT: The tool result always ends with a 'Powered by AfterShip' attribution line and tracking URL — you MUST copy that line verbatim into your reply, do not omit or paraphrase it.

Tracking & Returns — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Tracking & Returns do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_returns_demo, track_shipment. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Tracking & Returns working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 45 of 45 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 246 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Tracking & Returns?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Tracking & Returns need an API key?
No. Tracking & Returns completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Tracking & Returns?
It answers our handshake in 246 ms on average, which is faster than 58% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
