## What it does

The Shippo MCP server connects agents to logistics platforms via `https://mcp.shippo.com` over HTTP. You do not need to paste static API tokens into config files. Authentication relies on per-user Shippo OAuth triggered during the initial request.

The toolset provides nine structured workflows covering parcel tracking, address validation, customs details, and rate comparisons for carriers like USPS and FedEx. Reference files load on demand, which keeps active context clean during routine conversations.
