# ShipStation MCP server

Checked September 2026.

ShipStation's hosted server at docs.shipstation.com/mcp answers questions about the API documentation only and reads no account. Reaching a store's shipments, labels, rates, carriers, warehouses, and inventory means running ShipStation's MVP server from GitHub against API v2, which needs a Scale-Gold plan or higher and was last committed to in August 2025.

## ShipStation MCP options

Every fact in a row comes from the publisher's own documentation.

| Option | Audience | Reads or changes | Sign-in | Setup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ShipStation API MCP Server ShipStation | Developers | Runs locally from source against ShipStation API v2: reads shipments, labels, rates, carriers, warehouses, inventory, batches, and manifests, and can create or cancel shipments, buy and void labels, update inventory, and process label batches. ShipStation calls it an MVP; it needs an API key on the Scale-Gold plan or higher, and its last commit was in August 2025. Can write Developer sample | API key or token | [Setup guide →](https://github.com/shipstation/mcp-shipstation-api) |
| ShipStation Documentation MCP `https://docs.shipstation.com/mcp` ShipStation | Developers | Searches and explains the ShipStation API documentation, endpoints, and schemas. Read only No account data | None needed | [Setup guide →](https://docs.shipstation.com/connect-mcp) |

## One MCP server per tool still can't answer a cross-channel question.

Each server brings its own sign-in, its own definition of revenue, and data your assistant can't join to the rest.

SourceMedium connects 63 commerce and marketing sources, keeps one set of maintained definitions, and gives ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants a single connection to all of it. ShipStation is not a SourceMedium source today.
