Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
track
track_package
Track any parcel by its tracking number. No account needed. Works for parcels shipped through this service with any carrier, and for most Canadian carrier numbers (Canada Post, UPS, FedEx, Purolator, Nationex, GLS). Returns the current status, the estimated or actual delivery date and the carrier's latest scans, plus a link to the full tracking page. Use this whenever someone asks where a parcel is.
track_parcel
Look up the live status and checkpoint history of a parcel on the SIGNED-IN account by its tracking number. Returns the current status, estimated delivery date, the shipment id and the full checkpoint list. Requires the user to connect their account; to track any parcel without signing in, use track_package. Supplying the carrier is optional but makes the lookup faster.
addresses
list_addresses
List saved addresses from the account address book. Read-only — this server cannot create, change or delete addresses.
compare
compare_shipping_rates
Compare live shipping rates for one parcel across every carrier available on the SIGNED-IN account (Canada Post, Purolator, UPS, FedEx and others), at the prices of that account. Returns each carrier and service with its total price, currency and estimated transit days. Requires the user to connect their account; for someone without an account use get_shipping_quote, which needs no sign-in. Prices are live and account-specific; do not cache them.
drop
find_drop_off_points
Find places near a Canadian postal code where a parcel can be dropped off or picked up. No account needed. Covers Canada Post outlets, FedEx locations, UniUni drop-off points and MesColis counters, nearest first, with the address, distance, what can be done there and a map link. Optionally limit the search to one network. Opening hours vary, so suggest checking the map link before going.
shipment
get_shipment
Retrieve the full record of a single shipment by its ID, including addresses, carrier, service, cost and current status.
shipments
list_shipments
List shipments on the authenticated account, newest first. Supports paging and filtering by status (for example "Delivered" or "In Transit"). Use get_shipment for the full record of one shipment.
shipping
get_shipping_quote
Get live shipping prices for one parcel from several carriers (Canada Post, UPS, FedEx and others). No account needed. Give the origin and destination postal or ZIP codes and the weight in kilograms (convert pounds and inches first); the box size is optional and a 30 x 20 x 10 cm box is assumed when it is missing. Returns up to 6 of the cheapest services with price and estimated transit time, and a link that opens the same quote on the website, where the label can be bought. Prices are the public rates at the moment of the quote. If the user is signed in, compare_shipping_rates returns their own account prices instead.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ShipSmarter Shipping working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 56 of 56 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 512 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect ShipSmarter Shipping?
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 ShipSmarter Shipping need an API key?
No. ShipSmarter Shipping completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ShipSmarter Shipping?
It answers our handshake in 512 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
