Details
From the project READMEWebshipper MCP by usefulapi
Use your Webshipper account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. It reads orders, shipments, tracking events, carriers and order channels, and it can create an order and get shipping rate quotes. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.
Live endpoint: https://webshipper.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io
Connect
- Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste
https://webshipper.usefulapi.io/mcp. - Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http webshipper https://webshipper.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run/mcpto log in. - VS Code: Add to VS Code.
- Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"webshipper": {
"url": "https://webshipper.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Webshipper credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/webshipper/
On first connect you provide your Webshipper account name and access token (in Webshipper under Settings, Access and tokens; the account name is the part before .webshipper.io). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run webshipper_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with webshipper_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with webshipper_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
