  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 22 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 60 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 60 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    90 of 146 parameters have a description (62%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 22

shipcloud_create_address

WRITE: save an address in the shipcloud address book (no shipment, no cost). Returns its id. It cannot be removed through this server. POST /addresses.

Discovered
shipcloud_create_pickup_request

WRITE: order a carrier (dpd, gls, hermes or ups) to pick up parcels at an address in a time window. A real request goes to the carrier and cannot be cancelled through this server; carriers may bill pickups. Without `shipment_ids` the carrier collects all shipments not yet picked up; return shipments cannot be picked up. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed. POST /pickup_requests.

Discovered
shipcloud_create_prepared_shipment

WRITE: save a shipment in shipcloud WITHOUT buying a label (create_shipping_label=false). Nothing is charged and no carrier is contacted; a prepared shipment can be deleted any time. Returns the shipment id. To buy the label use shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label. POST /shipments.

Discovered
shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label

WRITE, COSTS MONEY: create a shipment AND buy its shipping label at the carrier (create_shipping_label=true). With a LIVE key this charges the shipcloud account (price in EUR excl. VAT; get it first from shipcloud_get_shipment_quote) and creates a real label; with the sandbox key it is free and fake. A label can only be cancelled before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00) with shipcloud_delete_shipment. The request is sent ONCE and never retried: if it times out or fails with a server error, the label may still exist, so check shipcloud_list_shipments with the same reference_number before trying again. An existing-label lookup and same-instance guard reduce duplicates but are not atomic or global: simultaneous requests across Worker instances can buy duplicate labels. Serialize purchases for each reference and check shipcloud after an uncertain result. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed to the purchase; give a unique reference_number. Shipments needing customs papers are not supported here. POST /shipments.

Discovered
shipcloud_create_tracker

WRITE: have shipcloud track a parcel that was NOT created with shipcloud, by the carrier's tracking number (only for your own carrier contracts; carriers dhl, dpd, gls, ups). Creates a tracker; no label, no shipping charge. POST /trackers.

Discovered
shipcloud_delete_shipment

WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: delete a shipment. A prepared shipment (no label) can be deleted any time. For a shipment with a label, shipcloud cancels the label only before the carrier's cut-off (about 17:00-20:00); afterwards it fails. Cannot be undone. Requires confirm=true after the user agreed. DELETE /shipments/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_find_dropoff_locations

Search a carrier's parcel shops, lockers and drop-off points near an address or coordinates (opening hours, distance). Give an address (street, zip_code, city, country) or latitude + longitude. GET /pickup_dropoff_locations.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_account

The shipcloud user behind this API key: id, email, customer number, plan, and the ENVIRONMENT of the key (production = real labels and charges, sandbox = free test labels). Check this before creating labels. GET /me.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_address

One saved address by id. GET /addresses/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_default_address

One of the account's saved default addresses: shipping (the default sender), returns (the default recipient of return shipments) or invoice (the invoice address). GET /default_shipping_address, /default_returns_address or /invoice_address.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_order

One order by id, with delivery address and line items. GET /orders/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_pickup_request

One pickup request by id. GET /pickup_requests/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_shipment

One shipment by id: addresses, packages with tracking events, price, label URL, tracking URL. Sandbox shipments have no tracking events and price 0. GET /shipments/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_shipment_quote

What shipcloud would charge for a shipment (price in EUR excl. VAT). Read-only: nothing is created and nothing is charged. Only works for carrier contracts owned by shipcloud. Use it before shipcloud_create_shipment_with_label. POST /shipment_quotes.

Discovered
shipcloud_get_tracker

One tracker by id, with status and tracking events. GET /trackers/{id}.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_addresses

List the address book (saved addresses with ids usable as `to` / `from`). Filter by any field. Paged. GET /addresses.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_carriers

The carriers this account can use, each with its services, package types, additional services and label formats per service. Use the values when creating shipments. GET /carriers.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_orders

List orders sent to shipcloud (order data with line items, used by the Return Portal and linked to shipments by order_id). GET /orders.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_pickup_requests

List carrier pickup requests with carrier, pickup time window, address and the shipments included. GET /pickup_requests.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_shipments

List shipments (newest first as shipcloud returns them) with carrier, service, price, tracking number, tracking URL, label URL, addresses and tracking events. Filters can be combined. Paged: pass the previous reply's next_page. shipcloud sends no totals, so next_page is a guess (a full page suggests more). GET /shipments.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_trackers

List trackers: shipments created OUTSIDE shipcloud that shipcloud tracks by the carrier's tracking number (only for your own carrier contracts), with status and tracking events. GET /trackers.

Discovered
shipcloud_list_webhooks

List the webhooks configured in the account: target URL, subscribed event types, deactivated flag. Credentials of a webhook are never shown. GET /webhooks.
