🤖 Bring your own AI agent: the ShipHero AI Toolkit is now available
You can now connect the AI agents you already use to your ShipHero account and query your data in plain language. "Show me orders with an address hold." "What shipped yesterday?" "Which purchase orders arrive this week?" Live answers, straight from your real data.
The AI Toolkit comes in two flavors:
- ShipHero MCP: the fastest way in. Add ShipHero as a connector in Claude (web, desktop, or CoWork), Codex, or any MCP-compatible client and start asking. No GraphQL, no token management. Great for inventory checks, order status, shipment lookups, purchase orders, returns, and daily pick and pack stats.
- Public API Skill: for going deeper. Add it to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any coding agent to write custom queries, build reports, explore the full API, and prototype integrations.
📋 Read-only for now. This release is focused on queries: the MCP ships read-only tools, and the Skill's token setup issues read-only credentials. You can look up anything: orders, inventory, shipments, POs, returns. As a safety measure, creating or updating records isn't part of the toolkit design yet.
💡 Good to know
- AI Toolkit queries draw from the same API credit pool as your other Public API integrations. A credit-hungry session can affect your other integrations, so keep prompts specific: narrow date ranges, exact SKUs, only the fields you need.
- Not sure where you stand? Ask your agent to check your remaining credit quota. There's a tool for that.
The AI Toolkit is in Public Beta, and we'll be adding functionality based on your feedback. Tell us what you'd like it to do next.
