## Description
MCP server for ShipSaving — shipping rates, labels, orders, tracking

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "shipsaving": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","shipsaving"]
  }
}
```

npm run dev

# Debug with MCP Inspector
SHIPSAVING_API_BASE_URL=https://app-gateway.shipsaving.com \
SHIPSAVING_APP_KEY=sk_your_app_key \
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js
```

## Troubleshooting

**"command not found"** — Install Node.js 18+: [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org)

**"Failed to connect"** — Try running the server manually to see error output:

```bash
SHIPSAVING_APP_KEY=sk_your_app_key npx -y shipsaving-mcp
```

If it hangs (waiting for input), the server started successfully. If it errors immediately, you'll see the issue.

To clear the npx cache:
```bash
rm -rf ~/.npm/_npx
```
