The MCP connector lets AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor work with your Zippendo data: ask in plain language, and the assistant creates shipments, tracks parcels and reads your orders for you. Zippendo runs its own MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. A connected AI tool uses the same permissions and checks as the Zippendo app. It works with any MCP client, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude on the web, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and your own agents.

Connector URL

Streamable HTTP, protected by OAuth 2.1. Add the URL to your AI tool and sign in: nothing to install and no token to copy.

​
How to connect

Add https://api.zippendo.com/mcp to your AI tool as a custom MCP connector. The tool opens the Zippendo sign-in in your browser, where you choose the organization and approve the permissions. Your tool keeps the connection fresh by itself afterwards. In the Zippendo app, Apps & integrations → Catalog → MCP (AI agents) → Connect walks you through the same steps for your tool. See Connect your agent for every tool.

​
What you can do

Once connected, the agent can work across your Zippendo data, limited by the permissions you approve:
  • Shipments: create, split, send and track shipments; get labels and documents.
  • Orders: read the orders your order channels imported and turn them into shipments.
  • Carriers: list connected carriers and their products, and look up service points.
  • Addresses and shipping rules: read and manage sender addresses and shipping rules.
  • Automations, webhooks, printers and more: most of what the API offers.
The exact tools depend on the permissions you grant. See Tools & scopes for the full map.

​
Requirements

  • A Zippendo account with access to at least one organization. A team member who is limited to one brand can’t connect an agent.
  • An MCP client that supports remote connectors. Some AI tools only offer custom connectors on paid plans (for example ChatGPT). See Connect your agent.

​
How it works

The connector URL is a Streamable HTTP MCP server built into the Zippendo API. It offers the same tools as Zippy, the assistant in the Zippendo app. Every tool call runs through the real API, with the same sign-in, permission checks, plan limits and validation as any other request. The agent acts as you, only in the organization and with the permissions you approved, and never with Zippendo staff rights.
