Smart Send runs a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at mcp.smartsend.io . It exposes Smart Send’s shipping engine to AI agents as a set of tools, read-only resources, and guided prompts. Actions run against your real account and carrier connections. Authentication is handled with OAuth: an agent signs in with your Smart Send account and you approve access — no API keys to manage.

Connect

The supported way to use the server today is the Claude plugin, which bundles the connection and the sign-in flow.

Install the Claude plugin

Book shipments by chatting with Claude in a few commands.

Tools

The server exposes six tools an agent can call:
ToolWhat it does
find-delivery-optionsReturns the available carriers, services, and add-ons for a route, with delivery windows.
book-shipmentRegisters a shipment, then generates its tracking number and documents.
search-service-pointsLocates nearby pickup points and parcel shops.
validate-addressValidates up to 100 addresses in a single call.
search-shipmentsRetrieves previous shipments by a range of criteria.
create-shipment-templateSaves a reusable shipping configuration for repeat shipments.

Resources

The server provides read-only resources covering account and team details, available routes, service point information, shipment records, tracking data, saved templates, and downloadable shipping documents. Agents read these to ground their answers in your real data.

Prompts

Two guided prompts walk an agent through multi-step workflows:
  • book-shipment — collect the details, choose a service, and confirm before booking.
  • track-shipment — find a shipment and report its current status.

Build a custom integration

Prefer to integrate directly? The same shipping capabilities are available through the Smart Send REST API.
