Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/starshipit updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Commerce # Starshipit MCP server for AI agents. actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Starshipit and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 42 Starshipit actions (16 reads, 22 writes and 4 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Starshipit credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Starshipit's limits and records every call. [Connect Starshipit free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "starshipit.products.list", intent: "check which Starshipit account is connected" } # List products · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 42 actions in one signed file - 16 read look, never change - 22 write create and update - 4 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first Set up ## Connect Starshipit in three steps. 1. 01 ### Add actionlake to Claude. 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 Starshipit. Header credentials. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key. - `api_key` Starshipit API key (Settings > API) - `subscription_key` Starshipit subscription key (Settings > API) ``` account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "starshipit" } # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you ``` 3. 03 ### Make the first call. 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: "starshipit.products.list" } # list products · read · 1 upstream call check { action: "starshipit.products.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Starshipit at a glance **Sign-in** Header credentials.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 10 of Starshipit's 10 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once. | Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `starshipit.products.list` List products | List products. | read | `commerce.product.list` 112 connectors | | `starshipit.products.create` Add a product | Add a product. | write | `commerce.product.create` 92 connectors | | `starshipit.orders.list_unshipped` List unshipped orders | List unshipped orders. | read | `commerce.order.list` 82 connectors | | `starshipit.orders.create` Create an order | Create an order. | write | `commerce.order.create` 67 connectors | | `starshipit.products.delete` Delete products | Delete products. | destructive | `commerce.product.delete` 80 connectors | | `starshipit.addresses.list` List address book entries | List address book entries. | read | this connector | | `starshipit.orders.list_shipped` List shipped orders | List shipped orders. | read | this connector | | `starshipit.rates.quote` Get shipping rates | Get shipping rates. | read | this connector | | `starshipit.orders.import` Create orders in bulk | Create orders in bulk. | write | this connector | | `starshipit.shipments.clone` Clone a shipment | Clone a shipment. | write | this connector | | `starshipit.addresses.create` Add an address book entry | Add an address book entry. | write | this connector | | `starshipit.manifests.create` Manifest shipments by tracking or order number | Manifest shipments by tracking or order number. | write | this connector | Try it ## Prompts to paste into Claude. Each one names the Starshipit actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it. 1. Read read Which Starshipit orders from the last seven days are still unfulfilled? calls `starshipit.orders.list_shipped` 2. Write write Add a product in Starshipit. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it. calls `starshipit.products.create` Governance for Starshipit ## Destructive actions wait for a yes. 4 Starshipit actions are destructive. These are all of them: - Delete products `starshipit.products.delete` - Delete an order `starshipit.orders.delete` - Delete address book entries `starshipit.addresses.delete` - Delete all products `starshipit.products.delete_all` 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 starshipit.products.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete products? **intent:** the user asked me to delete products run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _starshipit-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "starshipit-agent", allowed_actions: ["starshipit.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "starshipit.products.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "starshipit.orders.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "starshipit.addresses.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative. Scoped to Starshipit only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person. Cost ## What Starshipit costs on actionlake. Every Starshipit action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Starshipit refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free.

The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "starshipit" } lists exactly what to paste. **Can an AI agent delete or change things in Starshipit?** Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 4 Starshipit actions are destructive, including delete products, delete an order and delete address book entries. 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 Starshipit API limit?** actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Starshipit service file: 2 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (14 Starshipit actions can be), which never reaches Starshipit. **What does a Starshipit action cost?** One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (42 Starshipit actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Starshipit 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 Starshipit API does it cover?** The Starshipit API (REST, api.starshipit.com) at api.starshipit.com. It is built from Starshipit's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 42 actions in 10 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0). **Does actionlake keep my Starshipit data, and where?** actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 10 minutes, 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 Starshipit 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 Starshipit Shares the most action names with - [Mintsoft 9](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mintsoft) - [ShipHero 8](https://actionlake.com/connectors/shiphero) - [Etsy 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/etsy) - [Extensiv 3PL Warehouse Manager 7](https://actionlake.com/connectors/extensiv-3pl-warehouse-manager) - [Linnworks 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/linnworks) - [Salesforce B2C Commerce API (SCAPI) 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/salesforce-b2c-commerce-api-scapi) Joins with, on shared entities - [SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/sap-s-4hana-cloud-public-edition) - [Square 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/square) - [Mailchimp 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/mailchimp) - [Cin7 Core 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/cin7-core) - [Kintsugi 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/kintsugi) - [Katana Cloud Inventory 3](https://actionlake.com/connectors/katana-cloud-inventory) 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.
