ShipTag in AI assistants
Connect your ShipTag account to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini and create shipments in a chat: compare rates, pay on a link on ShipTag's page, print the label and track it.
What the assistant can do
- Compare carrier rates for your parcel (Aramex, SMSA, J&T, RedBox and more), cheapest and fastest first, with cash-on-delivery fees.
- Create a shipment from your description, in Arabic or English, with cities like "جدة" recognised.
- Give you a payment link for each shipment: you pay on ShipTag's page, by card or from your wallet, and the carrier is booked automatically.
- Fetch the label for printing, track shipments, and report late shipments and unpaid orders.
Shipments start in Saudi Arabia. The price shown is what the wallet is charged; paying by card adds VAT, and the payment link shows both.

https://mcp.shiptag.com/mcpOn first use the app asks you to sign in with your ShipTag account and approve its access. No API key is needed.

}Nothing is ever paid from the chat
- Creating a shipment charges nothing: the order is saved unpaid.
- You pay only on a link ShipTag issues and you open yourself: by card on ShipTag's page, or from your wallet after signing in. The assistant never sees your card and cannot pay.
- Before any cancellation the assistant shows a preview with the refund, and waits for your explicit yes.
- Returns are booked in the ShipTag portal, from the order's page.
- Wallet top-ups happen only in the ShipTag portal. The assistant cannot add or withdraw funds.

Privacy and access
The server reads only what a tool needs from your account: orders, shipments, wallet and carriers. It never sees your conversations, only what the assistant sends to a tool, such as a recipient's address.
It works on every plan, and the app connects to your live account. You can disconnect it at any time in the ShipTag portal under Settings, then Connected apps.
Details are in the privacy policy: https://shiptag.com/en/privacy-policy
For developers
On plans that include the API, instead of signing in you can send an API key as Authorization: Bearer. A SANDBOX key simulates everything with no carrier and no money. Create keys in the portal under Settings, then Developers. API reference: https://api3.shiptag.com/reference
