# ShipBob — AI Connector ShipBob publishes 72 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/shipbob/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Commerce & Shopping](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/) # ShipBob Fulfilment orders, inventory and shipments across a ShipBob account Listed in Claude · 72 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://developer.shipbob.com/mcp-server/overview) [shipbob.com](https://www.shipbob.com/) Overview ## What ShipBob does ShipBob is a third-party logistics provider, and the connector reaches the operational data behind an account: orders, inventory, products and shipments across every sales channel and fulfilment centre attached to it. The stated use is answering questions that would otherwise require building a report, spotting SKUs about to run out, investigating orders stuck in exception, or breaking down transit times for a period. Seventy-two tools are published, a large surface even for a logistics platform. Authentication runs over OAuth and is scoped to the account. ShipBob built and maintains it, it carries the partner tier, and the listing says it is included for existing ShipBob merchants. ### Who it is for Fulfilment and supply chain operators running merchandise through ShipBob. ### Tool surface Seventy-two tools are claimed and none are enumerable without an OAuth session, so the balance between reading operational data and changing orders is not observable from here. Availability ## Where ShipBob is listed ShipBob is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. ShipBob has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory ShipBob publishes 72 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 95.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Commerce & Shopping publishes 5, so this one runs 67 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 2nd of 35 by tool count. It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory. ShipBob publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher ShipBob Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Commerce & Shopping Endpoint `https://api.shipbob.com/developer-api/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://developer.shipbob.com/mcp-server/overview) Published tools 72 · 51+ tools band Depth rank in Commerce & Shopping 2 of 35 Snapshot August 2026 ShipBob carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How ShipBob describes it > Manage and get answers about your fulfillment operations in seconds, without opening a dashboard.
