Easyship, B (68.8)\n\nMulti-carrier shipping platform from Easyship. Its public API and hosted MCP server quote courier rates, create shipments, buy labels, validate addresses, track parcels and book pickups across what Easyship says are 550+ courier services. Per-resource read and write scopes, separate sandbox tokens, a 132-operation OpenAPI contract and a 25-tool hosted MCP server with read-only and destructive annotations on every tool. No idempotency keys or Retry-After were found, the MCP server has no test mode, and the API changelog's last entry is dated 30 October 2025.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/easyship · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/easyship.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/easyship.json\n- Capabilities: shipping.rates, shipping.labels, shipping.tracking, shipping.address-validation, shipping.returns · endpoint: `https://public-api.easyship.com`\n\n### 314. Sendcloud, B (62)\n\nShipping platform for European online shops from Sendcloud B.V. in Eindhoven. Its API v3 and hosted MCP server quote carrier rates, create labels, validate addresses, track parcels and handle returns across the carriers an account has enabled. API v3 has 29 public OpenAPI 3.1 specs, an llms.txt index, a dated changelog and a hosted MCP server with toolset filtering. OAuth has one scope, `api`, so a credential can't be limited to reading. The changelog records response fields removed from tracking events on 25 September 2026 with no earlier deprecation entry.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/sendcloud · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/sendcloud.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/sendcloud.json\n- Capabilities: shipping.rates, shipping.labels, shipping.tracking, shipping.address-validation, shipping.returns · endpoint: `https://mcp.sendcloud.com/mcp`\n\n### 317. Shippo, C (61.9)\n\nMulti-carrier shipping API from Shippo. It quotes rates, buys labels, validates addresses, tracks parcels and creates return labels across the carriers it connects, through a REST API, official SDKs and a hosted MCP server. Per-label and per-call prices are public, test keys are self-serve, and the OpenAPI spec, llms.txt and Markdown docs are open to a fetch. Label purchase has no idempotency key, API keys carry no scopes, and the status page logged carrier-side incidents on most days between July and October 2026.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/shippo · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/shippo.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/shippo.json\n- Capabilities: shipping.rates, shipping.labels, shipping.tracking, shipping.address-validation, shipping.returns · endpoint: `https://api.goshippo.com`\n\n### 382. ShipStation API, C (59.3)\n\nMulti-carrier shipping API from ShipStation, an Auctane brand. API v2 at api.shipstation.com/v2 quotes rates, buys and voids labels, validates addresses, tracks parcels and creates return labels, with batches, manifests, pickups and inventory. A public OpenAPI 3.1 contract with 173 operations, Markdown docs for agents and a free ShipStation API plan with a sandbox make a first rate quote or test label reachable without a contract. One API key carries full account access, with no scopes, read-only mode or idempotency keys on label purchases.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/shipstation · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/shipstation.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/shipstation.json\n- Capabilities: shipping.rates, shipping.labels, shipping.tracking, shipping.address-validation, shipping.returns · endpoint: `https://api.shipstation.com/v2`\n\n### 468. EasyPost, C (54.3)\n\nEasyPost is a multi-carrier shipping API from Simpler Postage, Inc. Its REST API quotes carrier rates, buys labels, verifies addresses, tracks parcels and files refunds and insurance claims, with a hosted read-only MCP server in early release. Docs written for agents (llms.txt, a Markdown copy of each page, a JSON page index), seven official SDKs and free test keys make the REST API easy to start on. No OpenAPI spec or idempotency keys were found, every key has full account access, and the status page shows a connectivity outage on 23 July 2026 that affected all operations.\n\n- Page: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/easypost · Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/easypost.md · JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/easypost.json\n- Capabilities: shipping.rates, shipping.labels, shipping.tracking, shipping.address-validation, shipping.returns · endpoint: `https://api.easypost.com/v2`\n\n## How we test this category\n\nThe same parcel quoted between the same two addresses on each listing's test mode, a label bought for the cheapest tracked service and the shipment followed to delivery. We check the rates returned, address validation, tracking events and refund of an unused label. In this run listings are graded from public evidence against the published checklist. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.\n\n",
