Zippendo runs an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. Connect a compatible AI agent to your Zippendo account and it can create shipments, track parcels, read orders, manage carriers, and run automations — in plain language, using the same permissions and validation as the app. The server works with any MCP client, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude on the web, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, ChatGPT, and custom agents.

Remote endpoint

Streamable HTTP transport, protected by OAuth 2.1. Add the URL to your client and sign in — no install and no token to copy.

​
How to connect

Add the URL https://api.zippendo.com/mcp to your client as a custom MCP connector. The client runs the OAuth login and consent flow in your browser automatically — nothing to install, no token to paste, and tokens refresh on their own. See Connect your agent for step-by-step setup per client.

​
What you can do

Once connected, the agent can work across your Zippendo data — bounded by the scopes you approve:
  • Shipments — create, split, send, and track shipments; fetch labels and documents.
  • Orders — read synced channel orders and turn them into shipments.
  • Carriers — list connected carriers, products, and drop-off points.
  • Addresses & shipping rules — read and manage sender addresses and rules.
  • Automations, webhooks, printers, and more — anything exposed by the public API.
The exact tools available depend on the permissions you grant. See Tools & scopes for the full map.

​
Requirements

  • A Zippendo account with access to at least one organization.
  • An MCP-capable client. Remote OAuth connectors are the easiest path; some plans (for example, ChatGPT and Claude Desktop custom connectors) gate this behind paid tiers — see Connect your agent.

​
How it works

The remote endpoint is a stateless Streamable HTTP MCP server built into the Zippendo API. It exposes the same tools that power Zippy, the in-app assistant. Every tool call runs through the real API — the same authentication, scope checks, billing limits, and validation as any other request. The agent acts as you, only within the organization and scopes you approve, and never with admin privileges.
