Do I need to install anything to use Shippo?

No. Shippo is published as a hosted endpoint, so a compatible client connects to it over the network.

How do I install Shippo?

Point your client at the hosted endpoint https://mcp.shippo.com. No local install is needed.

Which transport does Shippo use?

Streamable http. Your client has to support that transport to connect.

Where is the source code for Shippo?

The publisher lists https://github.com/goshippo/ai as the source repository.

Is Shippo an official server?

It is published under the namespace com.shippo, which means the publisher proved control of that domain when registering. That confirms who published it, not that it has been reviewed for quality or security.

Which version of Shippo is listed here?

Version 1.0.0, taken from the latest registry entry.

Tools

4 tools, from the publisher's manifest. A parameter marked with an asterisk is required. By intent: 3 answer and 1 transact.

Intent says what a tool does with the world. Answer reads and returns information and changes nothing. Act changes state somewhere, by writing, creating, sending or deleting. Transact moves money, buys something or commits to a cost. A value marked declared is the publisher's own annotation on their own tool. A value marked inferred is this catalogue reading the tool name and description, and is not a claim by the publisher. Where neither settles it, the tool is left unclassified rather than guessed at.

Tool	What it does	Intent	Parameters
shippo_list_tools	List Shippo API operations available through this server. Use this FIRST to discover what operations exist before calling shippo_describe_tool or one of the execute tools. Returns each operation's short name, category, kind (read or write), and one-line description. Filter by `category` (e.g. 'Webhooks', 'Manifests', 'Address Book'), `kind` ('read' or 'write'), or `query` (natural-language keywords matched against names and descriptions). Pass no arguments to list everything. There are ~74 operations spanning 17 categories: Addresses, Address Book, Batches, Carrier Accounts, Customs, Manifests, Orders, Parcels, Pickups, Rates, Refunds, Service Groups, Shipments, Shippo Accounts, Tracking, Transactions, Webhooks.	answer inferred	kind, query, category
shippo_describe_tool	Get the full input schema, detailed description, and kind classification for a Shippo operation. Call this AFTER shippo_list_tools to learn the exact parameters (required + optional, types, enum values) AND to confirm which execute tool to use (read or write). Pass the short operation name from shippo_list_tools (e.g. 'listWebhooks', 'CreateAddress', 'GetTrack'). Name lookup is case-insensitive.	answer inferred	name
shippo_read_execute_tool	Execute a READ-only Shippo API operation (List, Get, Validate, Parse, etc.). Returns the Shippo API response. Does NOT mutate any state. Use this tool ONLY for operations whose kind is 'read' per shippo_describe_tool. Calling a write operation here will be rejected — use shippo_write_execute_tool for those. Get the operation name from shippo_list_tools and its argument shape from shippo_describe_tool first. Name lookup is case-insensitive.	answer inferred	name, arguments
shippo_write_execute_tool	Execute a WRITE Shippo API operation (Create, Update, Delete, Refund, etc.). Returns the Shippo API response. WILL mutate state on the user's Shippo account. Use this tool ONLY for operations whose kind is 'write' per shippo_describe_tool. Calling a read operation here will be rejected — use shippo_read_execute_tool for those. Get the operation name from shippo_list_tools and its argument shape from shippo_describe_tool first. Name lookup is case-insensitive.	transact inferred	name, arguments
