--- title: "ShipHero MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 203 ShipHero actions through one MCP server: products, orders, users, shipments. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/shiphero updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Commerce # ShipHero MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to ShipHero and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 203 ShipHero actions (72 reads, 99 writes and 32 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the ShipHero credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces ShipHero's limits and records every call. [Connect ShipHero free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month.

Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us. `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` 2. 02 ### Connect ShipHero.

Check before a write. Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free. ``` do { action: "shiphero.products.list" } # list products · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "shiphero.products.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` ShipHero at a glance **Sign-in** Session login. actionlake opens the session and renews it when it expires. **You provide** `refresh_token` **Limits we pace to** 7,000 calls per 5 minutes, per connection **API covered** ShipHero (warehouse management, fulfillment and 3PL) API 2026-10`public-api.shiphero.com` **Built from** ShipHero's documentation, read 23 October 2026[developer.shiphero.com](https://developer.shiphero.com/getting-started/) [developer.shiphero.com](https://developer.shiphero.com/schema/) [developer.shiphero.com](https://developer.shiphero.com/shiphero-ai-toolkit/) **Service file** Version 1.0.0, signed (Ed25519) **Cached reads** 72 of 72 reads, for up to an hour; a write clears what it affects **Shared entities** 3, so ask can line ShipHero up with your other systems **Data** Processed and stored in Sydney, Australia.

Show me exactly what you will send before you save it. calls `shiphero.products.create` Governance for ShipHero ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 32 ShipHero actions are destructive. The first 10: - Product delete `shiphero.products.delete` - Order cancel `shiphero.orders.cancel` - Bill delete `shiphero.bills.delete` - Webhook delete `shiphero.webhooks.delete` - Purchase order cancel `shiphero.purchase_orders.cancel` - Inventory transfer `shiphero.inventory.transfer` - Bill add ad hoc charge `shiphero.bills.add_ad_hoc_charge` - Tote transfer to location `shiphero.totes.transfer_to_location` - Wholesale order transfer picks to staging `shiphero.wholesale_orders.transfer_picks_to_staging` - Kit clear `shiphero.kits.clear` A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after. do shiphero.products.delete confirm_policy: **human** Product delete? **intent:** the user asked me to product delete run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _shiphero-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "shiphero-agent", allowed_actions: ["shiphero.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "shiphero.products.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "shiphero.orders.cancel", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "shiphero.bills.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to ShipHero only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What ShipHero costs on actionlake.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "shiphero" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in ShipHero?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 32 ShipHero actions are destructive, including product delete, order cancel and bill delete. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it. **Will an AI agent use up my ShipHero API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the ShipHero service file: 7,000 calls per 5 minutes per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (72 ShipHero actions can be), which never reaches ShipHero. **What does a ShipHero action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (41 ShipHero actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls ShipHero refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000. **Which ShipHero API does it cover?** The ShipHero (warehouse management, fulfillment and 3PL) API 2026-10 at public-api.shiphero.com. It is built from ShipHero's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 203 actions in 1 area, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my ShipHero data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your ShipHero credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models. **Which AI clients can use it?** Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names. ## More connectors like ShipHero Shares the most action names with - [ShipBob 17](https://actionlake.com/connectors/shipbob) - [Veeqo 16](https://actionlake.com/connectors/veeqo) - [Mintsoft 15](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mintsoft) - [AfterShip 14](https://actionlake.com/connectors/aftership) - [Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager 13](https://actionlake.com/connectors/extensiv-3pl-warehouse-manager) - [Etsy 11](https://actionlake.com/connectors/etsy) Joins with, on shared entities - [HaloPSA 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/halopsa) - [Salesforce Sales Cloud 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/salesforce-sales-cloud) - [Odoo 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/odoo) - [ERPNext (Frappe) 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/erpnext-frappe) - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-dynamics-365) - [Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central) Browse - [All Commerce connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/commerce) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
