MCP

Give your agent ShipStation tools

Every ShipStation action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's ShipStation account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),
  {
    requestInit: {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
        "x-pd-project-id": "{project_id}",
        "x-pd-environment": "production",
        "x-pd-external-user-id": "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
        "x-pd-app-slug": "shipstation",
      },
    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// e.g. run Create Order:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "shipstation-create-order",
  arguments: {
    orderNumber: "Order Number",
    orderDate: "Order Date",
  },
})

API PROXY

Call the ShipStation API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the ShipStation API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://ssapi.shipstation.com/users/",
})

// Any allowed ShipStation endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

SDK

Run ShipStation actions from your backend

Connect a user's ShipStation account once, then run Create Order on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "shipstation-create-order",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    shipstation: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    orderNumber: "Order Number",
    orderDate: "Order Date",
  },
})

MULTI-APP

Use ShipStation with other popular apps

Most products don't stop at one integration. Pair ShipStation with the other apps your users rely on, and ship use cases that span both.
