A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 6

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

bulk

get_bulk_quote_link

Get a pre-filled quote request link for pallet or recurring quantities, custom sizes, printed or branded packaging, freight orders, or any spec Packrift does not stock exactly. Put everything the buyer told you in the fields: the spec, quantity, delivery ZIP and need-by date travel with the request. The buyer adds their email and submits the form on packrift.com; Packrift replies by email with pricing. Returns the link and what the buyer still needs to add.

cart

create_cart_url

Create a checkout link on packrift.com for items the buyer has chosen. Give each item as SKU and quantity (number of packs); up to 25 lines. The link opens packrift.com checkout with those items and automatic volume discounts applied; the buyer adds their address and pays there. Returns the subtotal after volume discounts. This tool never places an order or charges anyone. Call it only after the buyer confirms the items and quantities.

packaging

find_packaging_for_item

Find the right Packrift box or mailer for an item the buyer ships. Give the item's length, width and height in inches, its weight, and what it is (for example "ceramic mug", "t-shirt", "hardcover book", "laptop"). Applies cushioning space by item type (2 in per side for fragile items), checks box strength against the weight, and compares billable shipping weight (UPS/FedEx and USPS dimensional weight). Returns up to 5 in-stock options with inside size, fit, strength, live price and a product link. Use search_products instead when the buyer already knows the packaging size they want.

product

get_product

Get one Packrift product by SKU (or product handle): specs such as inside size, material, strength and pack count, live price and price per unit, stock, whether a quantity can ship now, volume pricing, nearby sizes and the product link. Use after search_products or find_packaging_for_item when the buyer wants more detail before choosing.

products

search_products

Search Packrift's in-stock packaging catalog: corrugated shipping boxes, mailer boxes, poly and bubble mailers, poly bags, labels, packing tape, stretch film and void fill. The query can be a product type, an exact size or spec ("12x12x12 ECT-32 box", "10x13 poly mailer", "3 inch packing tape"), or a Packrift SKU. Returns up to 10 matches with live price, pack size, price per unit, stock and a product link. A different size is never labeled exact; when nothing matches exactly it returns the closest sizes marked as not exact and a quote link. If the buyer describes the item they are shipping rather than the packaging they want, use find_packaging_for_item instead.

shipping

get_shipping_estimate

Estimate the delivered cost of a Packrift order to a US ZIP code, using the same shipping rates and automatic volume discounts as Packrift checkout. Give the items as SKU and quantity (number of packs). Returns the subtotal after discounts, the shipping charge (free only when the order qualifies), the delivered total and the delivered cost per unit. Tax is not included; checkout shows the final amount. Not for carrier rate shopping or postage.

Packrift MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Packrift MCP do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_cart_url, find_packaging_for_item, get_bulk_quote_link, get_product, get_shipping_estimate, search_products. 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 Packrift MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 385 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did Packrift MCP ever remove tools?

Yes. check_inventory, compare_alternatives, explain_no_exact_match, get_cart_handoff_candidates and 5 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect Packrift MCP?

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 Packrift MCP need an API key?

No. Packrift MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Packrift MCP?

It answers our handshake in 385 ms on average, which is faster than 35% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Packrift MCP open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.packrift.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
