Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check ShipRate AU every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 5

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

quote

quote_domestic_au

Live shipping prices for a parcel sent WITHIN Australia, from two independent sources at once: Australia Post retail (PAC) and Easyship's pre-negotiated commercial courier panel. Returns every service with price, currency and transit time where available, cheapest first, plus a note on why the two sources are not directly comparable. Use when asked what it costs to send a parcel between Australian postcodes, or which courier is cheapest for a given weight and route.

quote_international_from_au

Live shipping prices for a parcel sent FROM Australia to another country, from Australia Post retail (PAC) and, where it can quote, Easyship's commercial panel. Returns each service with price and currency. Use when asked what it costs to post something overseas from Australia. Note that AusPost international prices are retail and exclude any destination duty or tax, which the recipient pays.

calculate

calculate_cubic_weight

Carriers charge on whichever is greater, actual weight or cubic (volumetric) weight, so a light bulky parcel costs far more than its scale weight suggests. Give the dimensions and actual weight and this returns the cubic weight under each common convention and which weight you would be charged on. Use it before quoting so the weight you pass to a quote tool is the one that will actually be billed.

goods

list_goods_categories

Returns the exact goods categories the commercial rate source will accept. These are a fixed list, not free text: plausible-sounding values like 'general' or 'others' are rejected outright. Call this if a quote came back with a category error, or to pick the closest match before quoting.

lookup

lookup_au_postcode

Resolve an Australian postcode to its suburbs and state, or a suburb name to its postcode. Works in both directions. Use it to validate an address before quoting, or when a suburb name is ambiguous because the same name exists in several states.

ShipRate AU — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ShipRate AU do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_cubic_weight, list_goods_categories, lookup_au_postcode, quote_domestic_au, quote_international_from_au. 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 ShipRate AU working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 88 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 93 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect ShipRate AU?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does ShipRate AU need an API key?

No. ShipRate AU completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is ShipRate AU?

It answers our handshake in 93 ms on average, which is faster than 86% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is ShipRate AU open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
