Frequently asked questions
Q: Which clients work?
Any MCP client that supports remote servers over Streamable HTTP with custom request headers. This includes: Claude, ChatGPT (OpenAI), Cursor, VS Code, and more.
Q: Do I need to install anything?
No. EasyPost hosts the server. Your client connects to it over HTTPS.
Q: Does connecting change anything in my EasyPost account?
No. The current tools retrieve existing records. They do not create, modify, or purchase anything.
Q: Can I use a test API key?
No. EasyPost MCP sends requests in production mode, so it requires a production API key.
Q: Can I use the same key in more than one client?
Yes. EasyPost rate limits apply to the account, not to each client.
