- 1Install in one click
Pick ShipStation from the marketplace. WorkAist handles API key and stores the credentials encrypted — no JSON keys to paste.
- 2Tools auto-generated
ShipStation exposes 6 MCP tools to every agent in your workspace: create_label, track_parcel, list_shipments, get_rate, and more. Each tool is a typed function, not a brittle script.
- 3Data flows to your graph
Historical shipping records sync to your private knowledge graph. Agents query relationships across all connected sources, not just ShipStation in isolation.
- 4Your agents take action
Your AI agent picks the right tool, runs it under your access policies, and answers in plain language — with a full audit trail of every ShipStation call.
ShipStation is shipping software you can connect to WorkAist in minutes. Through the open MCP standard, your AI agents sync orders, update inventory and generate shipping and fulfilment steps — autonomously, under explicit permissions, with no manual hand-offs. ShipStation authenticates via a secure API key, and because WorkAist is self-hosted under AGPL-3.0, your data never leaves your own infrastructure.
Authentication & setup

FAQ
Can a WorkAist AI agent really automate ShipStation end-to-end?▼
Yes. The connector exposes read and write tools through Model Context Protocol. AI agents call them through plain-language instructions in a CLAUDE.md file — no glue code.
How does this differ from using the ShipStation API directly?▼
The connector adds permission isolation, audit logging, cost tracking per agent, and reversible PII redaction at the LLM boundary. It also presents ShipStation as part of a unified Knowledge Graph alongside your other tools.
What does it cost?▼
WorkAist is open-source under AGPL-3.0 and self-hosted, so the connector itself is free. You pay only for ShipStation's own API costs (if any) and the LLM tokens your agent consumes.
Is my ShipStation data sent to a third party?▼
No. WorkAist runs in your own infrastructure. Data flows from ShipStation → your WorkAist instance → the LLM you choose. Sensitive fields can be tokenized before reaching the LLM.
What if ShipStation changes its API?▼
The connector is versioned and published openly. When ShipStation ships breaking changes, we bump the connector version and the marketplace UI surfaces the upgrade as a one-click apply.
