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.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect EasyPost to Claude?

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.
