Carrier Cost Data for AI
AI cannot work with carrier data it cannot reach.
Carrier cost data is fragmented across portals, APIs, SFTP, email delivery, PDFs, CSVs, and carrier-specific formats.
Before AI can explore, analyze, or build with that data, someone has to collect it, maintain every connection, and preserve the underlying detail.
Shiplab handles that layer – continuously collecting carrier-native invoice, shipment, and charge-level data and making it accessible through MCP, API, cloud storage, and managed delivery.
A temporary snapshot
Export, upload, ask—and repeat when the data changes.
Connected carrier context
Give AI more than a carrier data snapshot.
A single invoice, CSV, or carrier export can answer a narrow question. It cannot give AI the broader context across your carriers, accounts, invoices, shipments, and charges.
Shiplab continuously collects detailed carrier-native data into one accessible layer. Through Shiplab MCP, supported AI tools can work with the current records available across your organization—without beginning every question with another export or upload.
Connect once. Query the carrier data already flowing through Shiplab
Ask the data. Literally.
Once your carrier records are accessible to AI, teams can explore available data, investigate changes, generate code, and build workflows without beginning with manual exports or another carrier integration project.
From carrier source to AI context.
Add and manage your carrier connections through the Shiplab management portal or API.
Shiplab continuously collects available carrier data and maintains the source-specific workflows as portals, APIs, files, formats, and delivery methods change.
Connect Shiplab MCP to Claude, OpenAI Codex, or another supported MCP client.
Use your AI environment to retrieve available records, explore carrier data, generate code, and build workflows around your requirements.
Your AI tools may change. Your carrier data layer does not have to.
Shiplab MCP, explained.
What can Shiplab MCP access?
The exact tools and records available depend on your Shiplab organization, carrier connections, and the current MCP release.
This may include organization and carrier context, invoice records, source files, and available shipment- and charge-level data.
Which AI tools are supported?
Shiplab is initially supporting and documenting Claude and OpenAI Codex.
Support may expand as additional MCP-compatible clients are tested and validated.
How is MCP different from the Shiplab API?
The Shiplab API is designed for direct programmatic integration into applications, products, and data systems.
MCP is designed to let supported AI tools and agents discover and use available Shiplab data and capabilities through prompts and agentic workflows.
They are complementary access methods.
Does Shiplab MCP provide parcel auditing or analytics?
No. Shiplab provides the carrier-data infrastructure and access layer.
The AI tool, application, or workflow you connect determines how the data is analyzed, summarized, visualized, or used.
Do I need a Shiplab account?
Yes. Shiplab MCP works with carrier connections and data managed through your Shiplab organization.
Does MCP replace my existing data delivery?
No. MCP is an additional access method.
You can continue using Shiplab’s API, cloud storage, data lake, S3, or managed file-delivery workflows alongside MCP.
