# EasyPost MCP connector Connecting EasyPost to Elaichi lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent create shipments, compare rates, verify addresses, refund labels and track parcels, each action restricted per tool and recorded in an audit log. Source: https://elaichi.ai/connectors/easypost/ ## Facts | | | | --- | --- | | Application | EasyPost | | Category | Logistics | | AI tools | 106 | | Authentication | Connects with an API key | | Bring your own OAuth app | No | | MCP endpoint | https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp | | Works with | Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent | | Tools advertised by name | No. Connected tools are never listed one by one, however few there are. The endpoint advertises `search_tools` and `execute_tool` instead | ## What you can ask once EasyPost is connected - Compare rates for a 2 lb box to Austin, Texas - Refund the labels we bought last week that never shipped - Verify this address and create a shipment to it ## Connect EasyPost in Elaichi This happens once for the organization, before any client is involved. 1. Open Connections, choose Add connection, and pick EasyPost. 2. Optionally set Share with, then press Connect. 3. Paste an EasyPost API key. One person generates a token in EasyPost and pastes it once. Everyone else works through Share with, and never sees it. Credentials are vaulted and nobody, including the AI, reads them back. The connection becomes a toolbox immediately, so you can curate which EasyPost tools are exposed, rename them, or freeze arguments before anyone points a client at it. ## EasyPost MCP connector for Claude Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Customize, then Connectors. 2. Press Add. 3. Name it, paste the MCP server URL, then Continue. 4. Sign in and approve. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it once. Everyone else turns it on for themselves. ## EasyPost MCP connector for ChatGPT Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open Plugins, then press the + button. 2. Name it and paste the endpoint into Server URL. 3. Leave Authentication on OAuth, then tick the risk acknowledgement. 4. Press Create, then sign in and approve. Works on the web today. The plugin directory lives at chatgpt.com/plugins. ## EasyPost MCP connector for Cursor Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Open `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. 2. Add the endpoint under `mcpServers`. 3. Reload Cursor, then sign in and approve. Set up per machine, so repeat it on each computer you work from. ## Connect EasyPost to any MCP client Endpoint: https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp 1. Add the endpoint as a remote MCP server. 2. Sign in and approve. The Elaichi Agent already has these tools, with nothing to set up. ## What the consent screen decides Only Read is granted by default, which is not enough to call a EasyPost tool. Over MCP there is no trusted place to confirm a write in the moment, so the consent screen is the standing approval rather than a formality. Grant Read and Run tools. Think hard before granting Delete, which reaches into connected apps and cannot be undone. ## What teams do with EasyPost through Elaichi ### Compare rates before buying a label Fulfillment. Give the destination and package size, see the smart rates and estimated delivery dates side by side, then buy the EasyPost label at the rate you pick. ### Answer where is my order in seconds Support. Look up a shipment by its ID or create a tracker for a customer's parcel, and read back the latest status in plain language while they are still on the call. ### Batch the afternoon's shipments for one pickup Warehouse. Group the day's shipments into a batch, buy them together, generate the labels and produce the scan form the carrier needs at the dock. ### Refund labels that never shipped Finance. List the shipments bought this month, find the ones that never left the building, and request refunds on their labels before the carrier window closes. ### Verify addresses before anything goes out Ecommerce. Check a customer's address against carrier records and catch a missing apartment number or wrong ZIP code before a label is printed. ### Insure high-value shipments as they are created Operations. Add insurance to a shipment of expensive goods at the moment it is bought, so nothing valuable leaves without cover. ## Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for EasyPost All three can connect EasyPost to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls.

First connect EasyPost in Elaichi by pasting your EasyPost API key, which takes about a minute, with no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account and EasyPost shipments, addresses, batches and trackers are available in Claude. ### Does EasyPost work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude? Yes. Once EasyPost is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect EasyPost once and every client picks it up. ### What can an AI agent actually do with my EasyPost data? It can create an EasyPost shipment, compare carrier rates and delivery dates, buy the label, insure it, refund it if it never ships, and create a tracker to follow the parcel. It can also verify an address before anything is printed, and group shipments into a batch with labels and a scan form for pickup. Short, concrete asks such as compare rates for this box to Denver work better than long paragraphs. ### Does connecting EasyPost give the AI access to everything in my account? No. The EasyPost connection runs with the access of the API key that was entered and nothing beyond it, and each person reaches it only after signing in to Elaichi as themselves. Elaichi can narrow that access with roles and restrictions, and it can never widen it. ### Can my team share one EasyPost connection? Yes. One person connects EasyPost in Elaichi and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles or sees the EasyPost API key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who bought, refunded or tracked each shipment. ### Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in EasyPost? Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow looking up EasyPost shipments and verifying addresses while blocking refunds, insurance or deleting batches. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt can reach it. ### What happens to an EasyPost connection when someone leaves? Offboarding that person in Elaichi ends their access to EasyPost at once, in every client they used. A shared EasyPost connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove EasyPost entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together. ### Does the EasyPost MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients? Yes. EasyPost is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs. ### Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for EasyPost? Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use EasyPost. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every EasyPost call. ### How is Elaichi different from Composio for EasyPost? Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to EasyPost: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call. ## All 106 EasyPost tools Every tool below is callable through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp once EasyPost is connected, subject to the toolbox it is in and the restrictions on the caller. - **Create a EasyPost shipment** (Create).
