Claude
ChatGPTMCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT use real tools — and Europarcel's MCP server makes parcel shipping one of them. Connect it once, then simply ask: "Send a 2 kg parcel with Hermes from Berlin to Vienna." Your assistant fetches live prices, books the Hermes shipment, and hands you the label and tracking number — you stay in the chat, and you confirm before anything is booked.
Hermes earns its place in your MCP shipping setup as the price-conscious option: for small, light parcels it is often the cheapest of the six carriers, and its dense PaketShop network suits customers who prefer picking parcels up around the corner. Offer it alongside a premium carrier and let each order take the service it actually needs.
One integration instead of six: connecting Hermes to MCP through Europarcel means DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx all arrive with it — one account, one label workflow, one tracking page for every shipment. Prices start at €4.99 within Germany and €7.99 to the EU, and you pay per shipment with no monthly fee. The MCP integration goes live with our launch — the waitlist below gets you early access and launch offers.
Integration FAQs
?How do I integrate Hermes into MCP?
Connect Europarcel's MCP server to Claude or ChatGPT once; Hermes and five more carriers are then available to your assistant in plain language — no Hermes contract or developer work needed.
?What does Hermes shipping via MCP cost?
The MCP integration itself is free — you only pay for the shipment. Europarcel prices start at €4.99 within Germany and €7.99 for Germany ↔ EU, insurance included. You compare Hermes's live offer with five other carriers before every booking — no subscription.
?Can I create Hermes labels directly from MCP?
Yes — ask your assistant to book the shipment and it returns the Hermes label as a PDF plus the tracking number, ready to print.
?Do my customers get Hermes tracking automatically?
Yes. The Hermes tracking number flows back into MCP as soon as the shipment is booked, and every Europarcel shipment is also trackable on one unified tracking page — regardless of carrier.
?Can I offer other carriers besides Hermes in MCP?
That's the core of Europarcel: the same integration covers DHL, Hermes, DPD, GLS, UPS and FedEx. Every shipment picks the best offer — by price, speed or service — instead of being locked to one carrier.
