United Parcel Service shipping API for rates, label generation, package tracking, address validation, pickup scheduling, location finder, and time-in-transit estimates. Covers domestic and international parcel shipping with negotiated and published rates, multiple service levels (Ground, Next Day Air, 2nd Day Air, Worldwide Express, etc.), and OAuth2 client_credentials authentication. Used by e-commerce, logistics, and fulfillment platforms to automate UPS shipping end-to-end.

What you can do with UPS

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use UPS from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect UPS in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its UPS operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
