Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Shippo

Ask your AI what it costs to ship a parcel, where a package is or which orders still need a label, and it reads the answer from Shippo. It can create shipments and compare carrier rates, buy labels, validate addresses, schedule pickups and request refunds for labels you did not use.

Try asking

“What does it cost to send a 2 kg box, 30x20x15 cm, from our warehouse to this address?”

Questions

What can the AI do in Shippo?

It can read shipments, rates, labels, refunds, orders, addresses, carrier accounts, parcel templates and tracking status. It can create shipments, addresses and orders, validate addresses, buy labels, schedule pickups and request refunds for unused labels.

Does the AI see my Shippo credentials?

No. Your Shippo API token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with rates and tracking only. Buying a label charges your Shippo account, and a label refund cannot be undone, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Shippo account.

Does buying a label cost money?

Yes. When the AI buys a label, your Shippo account is charged just as if you bought it yourself. You can require approval for label purchases, or try things first with a Shippo test token. If a label goes unused, the AI can request a refund, and the label then becomes invalid.
