ShipSaving vs Warp Agent MCP
A side-by-side look at the ShipSaving and Warp Agent MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose ShipSaving for delivery work as a local process; choose Warp Agent MCP for delivery as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

get_shipping_rates获取多承运商运费报价比价。需提供寄件地址、收件地址、包裹信息和 ship_date。返回所有可用运费方案，标记最便宜和最快选项。search_shipments搜索运单列表，支持多种条件筛选get_shipment_detail查看运单详细信息track_shipment通过追踪号查询物流状态get_insurance_rates查询保险价格。根据保额和服务等级返回保险费率信息。create_draft_shipment标准下单流程第二步：创建运单草稿（不立即付款）。在 get_shipping_rates 之后、pay_shipment 之前调用。保存地址和包裹信息，等用户确认后再付款。pay_shipment对已选报价的运单进行支付，生成面单。可选附带保险信息。void_label退款/作废未使用的面单search_orders搜索订单列表，支持按状态、店铺、日期、关键词等筛选。当用户提供了类似 ID 的内容（如订单号、追踪号、订单ID等），必须通过 hybrid 参数传入进行搜索。get_order_detail查看订单详细信息create_order手动创建订单。【重要】调用此接口前必须先准备好所有信息：1) 如果用户指定了地址簿ID，先调用 list_addresses 获取该地址的完整信息；2) 确认订单号、商品信息（名称、数量、单价）齐全；3) 缺少任何必填信息时必须先向用户询问，不得传空值调用接口。buy_label_from_order通过已有订单打单（购买面单）。当用户要对订单打单时，必须使用此工具，不得使用 create_draft_shipment + pay_shipment 流程。需要先通过 get_shipping_rates 获取 rate_id。- +18 more on the listing page

freight_workflowGet a ready-to-use shipment intake CSV header, results CSV header, and starter prompt for shipment quoting, weekly freight comparison, or invoice review. Guidance only: does not read files, fetch rates, schedule work, or book. Use this when an operator asks how to start or supplies invoices/a shipment sheet.compare_freight_costsCalculate USD cost differences for up to 50 distinct shipments using supplied invoice/quote amounts and explicit comparability evidence. Excludes mismatched or unknown terms, keeps losses, separates quoted opportunities from invoice differences. Does not fetch rates, verify documents, annualize savings, or book. One candidate per shipment per call.van_quoteQuote a cargo van shipment (1-3 pallets, firm price)box_truck_quoteQuote a 26' box truck shipment (1-12 pallets, firm price)ftl_quoteQuote a full truckload (53' dry van). Only origin, destination, and date required.ltl_quoteQuote an LTL shipment — returns Warp's all-inclusive rate FAST (~1-2s) so the user sees a price immediately. The inline quote card shows the Warp rate plus a 'finding other carrier rates…' loading indicator. IMMEDIATELY follow up by calling ltl_market_options with the same parameters to fill in the multi-carrier comparison (~15s). Provide dims + commodity for an exact firm quote; if you don't have dims, quote anyway — it assumes a standard 48x40x48 pallet (FAK, no freight class) for an instant price. Don't block on asking for pallet dimensions; quote first, then pass real dims for an exact rate. When a palletized load could also move by box truck or van, quote LTL alongside those and show the cheapest valid mode. Do not editorialize the results. Do not declare a winner or recommend a specific carrier. Present Warp's quote first, then list market options as context. Let the user decide.ltl_market_optionsMulti-carrier LTL comparison — returns 30+ carrier rates ranked by price (slow, ~15s). Call IMMEDIATELY AFTER ltl_quote with the same parameters; this fills in the 'finding other carrier rates…' section the fast quote card was showing. Useful when the user wants to compare carriers or pick a specific one. Do not declare a winner or recommend a specific carrier; just present the ranked list.compare_modesTHE ONE CALL for "what's the cheapest/best way to ship this?". Prices ALL FOUR freight modes (LTL / full truckload / cargo van / 26' box truck) in ONE keyless call to Warp's all-modes engine and returns a decision-complete recommendation: the winning mode, its rate, transit, a bookable quote_id, the trade-off math against the runner-up, and every mode that couldn't price (with the reason). Prefer this over calling the individual quote tools and comparing them yourself — one round trip, and modes Warp can't serve are returned as explicitly unavailable WITH the reason rather than being dropped, so there is never a silently shortened list to guess from. Dims are optional (a standard 48x40x48 pallet is assumed). Set benchmark_market:true to also rank Warp's rate against the live 30+ carrier market for the lane (adds ~15-25s) — that makes the answer decision-complete: the right mode AND whether the price is actually good. Quote-only: it never books. To book, pass the recommended quote_id to `book` after the user confirms.batch_quotePrice up to 50 lanes in one call for a specified mode per row (defaults to LTL). This returns a Warp rate per row, NOT all-mode or all-carrier comparison. For Compare All use compare_modes per shipment; for LTL carrier alternatives use ltl_market_options. Never imply this tool compared every carrier. Returns a single batch-quote card with one row per lane (origin → dest · mode · pallets · price · transit). Each priced lane keeps its quote_id and can be booked individually with book ("book row 3").bookBook a quoted shipment using any quote_id or option id returned from a quote tool (Warp or market carrier). Requires quote_id + pickup and delivery addresses. Auth required.batch_bookBook MANY already-quoted lanes in ONE call (sequential, one card charge per row). Use this after batch_quote when the user says "book all of them" or "book rows 1, 3, 5" — do NOT call book in a loop. Each row needs a quote_id (the same one batch_quote returned for that row). Pickup/delivery default to the shared addresses at the top level so a single warehouse → many destinations only needs one address pair. Returns a progress card showing per-row Booked/Failed status with tracking numbers.multistop_quoteQuote a multi-stop FTL route: ONE truck visits 3+ stops in order (first pickup → intermediate stops → final delivery). Use for milk runs, pool distribution, or multi-store replenishment on a single truck — for a simple A→B truckload use ftl_quote. Auth required (free account). Coverage is route-dependent — not every route has a rate yet.- +21 more on the listing page
