Shippo for AI agents

Shippo is a shipping API for ecommerce merchants to generate labels, compare carrier rates, and track packages. Online sellers use it to automate fulfillment across multiple carriers. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

Shippo in three steps.

01Your users connect ShippoThey sign in to Shippo on Arc0 Connect, under your brand, and approve the access you ask for.
02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “create Batch” can wait for the user, and “delete Webhook” can be denied outright.
03Any agent can actYour agent calls Shippo through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.

POLICY.TS

await arc0.policies.set('shippo', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // create_batch
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_webhook
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Shippo connects.

Users sign in to Shippo on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Shippo OAuth app, or bring your own so the Shippo consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.

The same Shippo connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Shippo and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Shippo with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Shippo to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Shippo actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Shippo?

Q03

Which Shippo actions can my agent take?

95 in total: 56 read, 31 write and 8 destructive, such as “create Batch”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Shippo?

Yes. Actions like “delete Webhook” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Shippo too?

Yes. The same Shippo connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
