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## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Sendcloud B.V.

A person signs up at account.sendcloud.com, adds an invoice and sender address, then creates a Sendcloud API integration in the panel, which issues a public and secret key pair. The pair works as HTTP Basic or is exchanged at https://account.sendcloud.com/oauth2/token for a one-hour Bearer token (client credentials, scope `api`). The MCP server uses an OAuth 2.0 sign-in at account.sendcloud.com, found through RFC 9728 metadata, with the same single scope. No partner or sales approval is needed for API v3. |\n| Pricing | Freemium ($31.30 / mo) · Free plan at €0 for up to 20 parcels a month at Sendcloud's carrier rates, and a 14-day trial of paid plans with no card per the pricing page. Lite is €28 a month plus €0.10 a label, Growth €87 plus €0.09, Premium €175 plus €0.08, Pro €639 plus €0.07, Enterprise on request, with 20 per cent off for yearly billing. Carrier postage is extra. There is no sandbox, but 50 Unstamped letter test labels are free. The pricing table has an API access row whose per-plan marks we couldn't read (https://www.sendcloud.com/pricing/). |\n| x402 | No · No x402, MPP or L402 in the developer docs, the OpenAPI specs or the pricing page (checked 2026-10-07). |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Sendcloud's terms and conditions |\n| Docs | https://sendcloud.dev |\n| llms.txt | https://sendcloud.dev/llms.txt |\n| Last release | 2026-10-05 |\n| Surfaces | API v3 at https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3 (104 operations in 29 OpenAPI 3.1 specs) and a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.sendcloud.com/mcp.

Confidence: medium. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 68 | 13.6 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 89 | 14.5 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 71 | 11.5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 49 | 8.6 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 37 | 4.6 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 67 | 5.9 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 62, provenance 81) | 7% | 8.8 | 72 | 6.3 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | 21 and 25 September 2026. The API v3 changelog records `insurance.currency` and `insurance.value` removed from POST /parcels/tracking, and `status_code`, `status_description` and `sub_status_code` removed from tracking event responses, with no earlier deprecation entry for those fields. The changes are documented on the day, so the deduction is the minimum (https://sendcloud.dev/api/v3/changelog.md) | -3 |\n| **Total** | | | | **62 → B** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 68: Graded on API v3 and the hosted MCP server, with the hosted lines. Statuspage at status.sendcloud.com with components for the API, the panel and each carrier and integration (20). 25 incidents between 8 July and 7 October 2026. Twelve are marked major or critical and each concerns one carrier's label announcements, mostly labelled third-party. Platform-side entries are minor, the longest a four-hour integration connection problem on 14 September and 94 minutes of label announcement issues across several carriers on 8 September. None names the Sendcloud API component, so we scored between minor-only and one major (15). Limits published, 1,000 safe and 100 unsafe requests a minute with a burst of 15 a second (15). 429 is documented without Retry-After or backoff guidance. A repeated `external_reference_id` returns the existing shipment (8). The home page claims 99.99 per cent uptime, and no SLA document was found (0). API v3 is the current version and the MCP page carries no beta label (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 89: 29 OpenAPI 3.1 specs for API v3, 104 operations, linked from llms.txt (25). llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every docs page (10). Every operation has a description. Some state limits, such as when a cancellation is rejected, and many are one sentence. MCP tools take their text from the same specs (13). 243 enums, required fields and maxima such as `page_size` up to 100 (13). 216 example blocks and JSON:API error objects with `status`, `code` and `detail`. 429 responses appear only in the Support API spec (13). Versioned v2 and v3 with a dated v3 changelog of 155 entries back to 25 May 2023 (15).\n- Agent ergonomics 71: The MCP server makes one tool per operation, about 98 by the specs for its 24 toolsets, all on by default, which scores 5, and a `?toolsets=` filter enforced on calls adds 10. The API has `page_size` and no field selection (15). Cursor pagination through Link headers and filters by status, tracking number, reference and dates on shipments (18). JSON:API errors, though a carrier failure on a synchronous announce arrives in an `errors` array inside a success response (15). `external_reference_id` deduplicates shipment creation, and the docs say tools carry read-only, idempotent and destructive hints by HTTP method, which we couldn't confirm without an account (16). Shipping rules and defaults cut required fields. No official SDK was found (7).\n- Security \u0026 auth 49: A key pair per API integration, usable as Basic or exchanged for a one-hour Bearer token, and OAuth with PKCE for MCP. The only scope is `api`, which covers the whole account (20). No read-only credential found. The MCP toolset filter is enforced on the server, and annotations let a client prompt before creates and cancels (8). Responses carry text written by others, such as addresses, order data and support tickets. The MCP page says results are reference information only and gives no injection guidance (3). Integration exception logs are in the API. No per-call audit view found (3). ISO/IEC 27001:2022, annual penetration tests, a private HackerOne programme and a disclosure address. No security.txt and no SOC 2 found (15).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 37: No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices and per-label fees are public in euros, from €28 a month plus €0.10 a label to €639 plus €0.07, with sample carrier rates. We couldn't read which plans the API access row covers (17). A Free plan for 20 parcels a month and a 14-day trial, both stated as needing no card, plus free Unstamped letter test labels (20). A person signs up in a browser, adds an invoice address and creates the keys in the panel (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 67: Latest API v3 changelog entry 5 October 2026 (30). 37 dated entries between 9 July and 5 October (20). Closed service with a dated changelog and a help centre with email and chat support. No developer forum or public issue tracker found (9). The MCP server isn't in the official MCP registry, and no official SDK was found. A public Postman workspace exists (3). No packages to assess. The specs change with the changelog (5).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 72: Closed service with terms dated 1 September 2026 naming Sendcloud B.V. and four country entities (15). The privacy policy keeps server logs for at most 7 days and contact forms for 6 years. The DPA deletes customers' order data within 365 days of shipment completion and gives 30 days' notice of new sub-processors. Neither page showed a version date we could read (22). API v2 maintenance mode announced for April 2026, and one endpoint deprecated with a date (9 June 2026). Other deprecated fields are to go \"in a future version\", and no notice-period policy was found (10).

No read-only credential was found in the reviewed documentation\n- Changelog entries of 21 and 25 September 2026 record removed request and response fields on parcel tracking with no earlier deprecation entry\n- No Retry-After header or backoff guidance was found for 429 responses\n- No official SDK was found in the reviewed documentation, and the MCP server isn't in the official MCP registry\n- No test environment. Labels other than the Unstamped letter options are charged unless the carrier accepts a cancellation\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Use API v3 at https://panel.sendcloud.sc/api/v3. The v2 create-parcel endpoint is closed to accounts created from April 2026\n2. Test with `shipping_option_code` `sendcloud:letter` (returns use `sendcloud:letterreturn`). Any other label is billed unless cancelled within the carrier's deadline\n3. Set `external_reference_id` on every shipment so a retry returns the existing shipment (409) instead of a second label\n4. Read the `errors` array on synchronous announce responses. A carrier failure can arrive inside a success status\n5. Connect MCP with `?toolsets=shipments,shipping-options,parcel-tracking,returns` to keep the tool list short. Create and cancel tools act on the live account\n\n## Connect\n\nFirst request:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST --location \"https://account.sendcloud.com/oauth2/token\" \\\n --header \"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\" \\\n -d \"grant_type=client_credentials\u0026scope=api\" \\\n --basic --user your_sendcloud_public_key:your_sendcloud_private_key\n```\n\nClaude Code:\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport http sendcloud https://mcp.sendcloud.com/mcp\n```\n\nMCP client configuration:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"sendcloud\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"url\": \"https://mcp.sendcloud.com/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nThrough letme (picks today, calling later): https://letme.dev/sendcloud. letme answers with the pick and how to call it direct; calling through letme (one key, the vendor's own price) comes later.

Its create-parcel endpoint is closed to new accounts, and llms.txt tells assistants to write v3 code only (source: \u003chttps://sendcloud.dev/docs/getting-started/api-version-guide.md\u003e)\n- Default rate limits are 1,000 GET requests a minute and 100 POST, PATCH, PUT or DELETE requests a minute with a burst of 15 a second (source: \u003chttps://sendcloud.dev/docs/getting-started/rate-limits.md\u003e)\n- Two free shipping options exist for testing, `sendcloud:letter` and `sendcloud:letterreturn`. There is no separate test environment (source: \u003chttps://sendcloud.dev/docs/getting-started/creating-test-labels.md\u003e)\n- status.sendcloud.com lists 25 incidents between 8 July and 7 October 2026.
