          "Cache `GET /couriers`. It is limited to one request a second and returns the whole courier list, and courier auto-detection usually makes `courierCode` unnecessary",
          "Check for `quota_limit_reached` and `no_active_subscription`. `POST /tracking/search` needs a separate per-call plan, and the free plan blocks at 10 shipments a month"

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**Ship24.** The REST API and the hosted MCP server share one public OpenAPI 3.1 spec, numbered rate limits with Retry-After, and tracker creation that is idempotent by payload. No status page, SLA or security certification was found, API keys carry no scopes, and the API agreement and data processing agreement named in the terms aren't published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Easyship\n\n1. Use a sand_ token against https://public-api-sandbox.easyship.com for API tests. Production rejects sandbox tokens, and sandbox allows 6 requests a minute\n2. The MCP server calls production only. Create the shipment without buy_label first, then call create_label once the user confirms the courier and price\n3. Don't retry a timed-out label purchase blindly. There's no idempotency key, so read the shipment's label_state first\n4. Give every item a category or an hs_code. The API rejects shipments and rates requests that have neither\n5. Stay under 60 requests a minute and 10 a second, and wait for the next window on 429\n\n### Ship24\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer apik_...` to `https://api.ship24.com/public/v1`. The same key works on the MCP server, which lists tools without a key but answers 401 on calls\n2. Store the `trackerId` or set a unique `clientTrackerId`. Tracking numbers aren't unique, and any changed field on a repeat `POST /trackers` creates a second tracker that uses quota\n3. Allow up to 60 seconds for the first `POST /trackers/track` or `POST /tracking/search` call, since results are fetched from the courier synchronously\n4. Cache `GET /couriers`. It is limited to one request a second and returns the whole courier list, and courier auto-detection usually makes `courierCode` unnecessary\n5. Check for `quota_limit_reached` and `no_active_subscription`. `POST /tracking/search` needs a separate per-call plan, and the free plan blocks at 10 shipments a month\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Easyship or Ship24?\n\nEasyship scores 68.8 (B) on agent readiness against Ship24's 55 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Ship24 leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Easyship and Ship24 need an API key?\n\nEasyship takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Ship24 needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Easyship and Ship24 without installing anything?\n\nYes. Easyship has a hosted endpoint at https://public-api.easyship.com and Ship24 at https://api.ship24.com/public/v1.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/easyship-vs-ship24.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/easyship-vs-ship24.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"easyship\", \"b\": \"ship24\"}`.
