SMKlog Parcel Shipping Rates
by smklog · official
Get live USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL shipping prices for a parcel, plus checkout links and tracking.
This is a helper that lets your AI look up real shipping prices for a parcel you want to send from the United States. You describe the thing in plain words, like a guitar in a hard case, and it comes back with prices from USPS, UPS, FedEx and DHL. It is handy if you ship things now and then and do not want to measure boxes or sign up for anything.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat. It cannot look up a shipping price or check where a package is. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill, and this one connects it to SMKlog, a service that sells US shipping labels. Once it is connected, your AI can ask SMKlog for prices and tracking on your behalf, and you get the answers right in the chat.
What this MCP server does
You tell your AI what you want to ship, where it is going, and the ZIP code it is coming from. The AI passes that to this helper, which estimates the packed box and asks USPS, UPS, FedEx and sometimes DHL for live prices. You get back a short list of services you can actually buy, with the total you would pay and the delivery window. It can also make a checkout link for you to pay, check whether that payment went through, and look up tracking for a label bought on smklog.com.

Try asking your AI
- “How much to ship a 12 lb box from 07922 to 90011?”
- “What would it cost to send a full-size acoustic guitar in a hard case from New Jersey to Los Angeles?”
- “Compare USPS, UPS and FedEx for a 5 lb box from Newark to Chicago, which is cheapest and which is fastest?”
- “Give me a link to buy a label for a 24 by 18 by 12 inch box at 22 lb going to 33101”
What it gives back to you
You get a short list of shipping services with the total price, the delivery window, and the carrier's own counter price beside it where one is published. For checkout, you get a link to pay and a session id you can check later. Tracking gives you the delivery status, the scan events, and the carrier's estimated delivery date. Everything shows up as plain text in your chat.
Before you start
Good to know
A quote is a real carrier call that costs money to produce, so ask for one quote per shipment instead of trying many variations, and remember that nothing here buys a label on its own, a person still has to pay.
