Tools
get_parcel_quote— Live shipping rates for one parcel sent from a US origin — inside the US, or to Canada, the UK, Germany or Australia — across USPS, UPS and FedEx, and DHL Express on the German and Australian lanes. Describe the item in plain words and the packed box size and weight are estimated. Give exact dimensions and weight to skip the estimate. Returns up to five purchasable services, each as one checkout t…create_checkout_link— Turns a decided shipment into a payment session for buying its shipping label: the checkout amount and a handoff URL that opens SMKlog checkout prefilled with the parcel. Use it after get_parcel_quote, passing the quote_id that call returned, so the price is reused and no second carrier call is spent. Without a quote_id it prices the shipment live from the fields. The result carries a session_id: …get_checkout_status— Reports where a payment session made by create_checkout_link stands: whether the human has opened checkout, paid, and whether the shipping label exists yet, with the tracking number once it does. Reads SMKlog's own order records only: no carrier call, no quote allowance, nothing changes. Poll it after handing the human the link, minutes apart rather than seconds, because nothing moves until the hu…track_parcel— Track a shipment whose shipping label was bought on smklog.com, by carrier tracking number. Returns the current delivery status, the latest scan events and the estimated delivery date when the carrier reports one. Works for SMKlog labels only — it is not a universal tracker for arbitrary USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL numbers, so a number from any other seller comes back not-found rather than as a status…get_price_index— The SMKlog parcel shipping price index: a monthly repriced basket of six common boxes (1 to 20 lb) shipped from Newark, NJ to five US cities, quoted through the same live USPS, UPS and FedEx pipeline that prices real shipments. Returns the cheapest purchasable service per box and lane with every rate behind it, plus basket averages. Reference data for questions like "what does shipping a shoebox c…
About MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
Browse every MCP server on the APIs.io network or compare with the broader Agent Skill surfaces of the same providers.
Work with this as data
Every MCP server here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
