SMKlog Parcel Shipping Rates — Claude Code MCP Server
Quotes live USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL rates for US-origin parcels using plain item descriptions without a scale or API keys. Generates checkout links for postage.
claude mcp add --transport http parcel-shipping-rates https://quote-api.smklog.com/mcpWhat SMKlog Parcel Shipping Rates does
The server pulls live quotes from carriers like USPS and FedEx. You do not need to measure cardboard with a ruler. Pass an everyday item description, and the pipeline estimates package dimensions before pricing. Destinations include domestic US routes along with Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia.
Tool get_parcel_quote fetches live rates alongside counter price comparisons. Tool create_checkout_link outputs a Stripe payment URL for the chosen carrier. Later, get_checkout_status checks order stages without exposing personal customer data. Delivery events for purchased labels stream via track_parcel.
Origin addresses are restricted to the United States. Freight and palletized loads are rejected because the engine handles individual parcel cartons only. Agents cannot spend money on their own. Every postage label requires a person to review declarations and pay through Stripe.
What it helps with
- estimate parcel rates from natural item descriptions without measuring boxes
- compare live quotes across USPS, UPS, and FedEx in a single request
- create Stripe payment sessions for customer shipping purchases
- track delivery milestones for postage bought through SMKlog
- inspect average shipping cost benchmarks across major US transit routes
