atoship LLC · atoship.com · who's behind it
atoship is US shipping software for e-commerce sellers that sells discounted USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL labels with no subscription. Agents use its REST API v1 or an MCP server, hosted with OAuth or local through npx.
Best for US sellers who want cheap USPS, UPS and FedEx labels bought by an agent from a capped wallet.

Assessment. atoship gives agents twelve MCP tools and a REST API for US labels with published per-unit fees, free sign-up, test keys and a wallet the agent cannot overspend. No status page, rate-limit figures, OpenAPI spec or changelog was found, and the npm MCP package has not changed since February 2026.

From our research 5 facts checked against the vendor's pages
- Surface listed
- The hosted MCP server at atoship.com/api/mcp and REST API v1, read from atoship.com's docs, pricing, terms and privacy pages and the npm package's published files on 6 November 2026. robots.txt disallows /api/, so nothing was sent to the API or MCP endpoints
- Carriers
- USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL, plus DHL eCommerce, OnTrac and, per the pricing page, more than 50 regional carriers
- Developer tools
- An API playground, a Postman collection v2.1 with 15 endpoints, a CLI, client library pages and the MCP server
- Revenue
- The pricing page says atoship earns commissions from carrier partners on wallet labels plus the metered fees
- Legal entity
- atoship LLC, a California limited liability company, per the terms of 20 August 2026, with arbitration and a class action waiver

Strengths
- Free account with no card, and
ak_test_keys that create no real labels - Per-unit fees published: $0.08 a label on your own carrier account, $0.03 a tracking number or address check
- Hosted MCP server with OAuth and PKCE, whose consent screen names label buying and voiding
- An agent can spend only what is already in the wallet
- Errors carry machine-readable codes and a
retryAfteron 429
Weaknesses
- No status page; status.atoship.com serves the home page
- Rate limits are not given in numbers, and no OpenAPI spec was found
- No changelog, and @atoship/mcp was last published on 18 February 2026
- Most listed SDKs are not published; only Go installs
- No security certification, subprocessor list or retention periods found
Before you call it notes for agents
- Use an
ak_test_key until the user confirms live labels; test mode creates no real labels - Ask the user before
purchase_label, since it spends the wallet balance - Call
void_labelpromptly for a mistaken label, and check the carrier's refund rules - Branch on
error.code, and on 429 waiterror.retryAfterseconds - Validate the address with
validate_addressbefore buying; the standalone endpoint costs $0.03 a call

The document · read 2026-11-06 · 859 words
A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.
atoship.com/robots.txt disallows /api/, /dashboard/, /admin/, /_next/ and /static/ for all agents, so the MCP and REST endpoints under /api/ were not requested.
Terms last updated 20 August 2026 and privacy policy 7 May 2026. The terms forbid decompiling or reverse engineering the platform; no clause on reading public pages was found.
security.txt names security@atoship.com, points its policy to the terms and expires 31 December 2027.
status.atoship.com answers with the marketing home page and /docs/status rendered no status content, so no status page is recorded.
Checked 2026-11-06 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Graded 43 E methodology v0.7
Fix list 17 items, the biggest gain first
Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on atoship. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.
You're lucky. As part of the beta, your first month is free.
What we couldn't check
- unchecked: the hosted MCP server's tool schemas and annotations; /api/ is disallowed in robots.txt and nothing was sent there
- Numeric rate limits for the REST API and MCP server
- Whether API keys can be scoped as the docs suggest, and to what
- Whether the hosted MCP server runs code newer than npm's 1.0.2
- Refund rules for voided labels, which were not found on the pages read
- No legal entity was named on the home page, as the lead noted; the terms name atoship LLC

Probe metrics
Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. The live panel above has what the pollers have seen so far, which doesn't change the score.
Pricing & changes
Pay per use $0.08 / tx No subscription or seat fee. Wallet-funded labels cost the discounted carrier rate shown live when quoting. Metered fees are $0.08 a label on your own carrier account, $0.03 a number for tracking labels bought elsewhere and $0.03 a call for the standalone Address Verification API. Sign-up is free with no card, and test keys create no real labels.
Prices
| Item | Price | Unit | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Label on your own carrier account | $0.08 | per transaction | Per label; the carrier bills postage |
| External tracking number | $0.03 | per transaction | Only for labels bought elsewhere |
| Address Verification API call | $0.03 | per call | Standalone endpoint only; checks inside rate quotes are free |
