  • An AfterShip account with access to the organization you want to connect.

Sign in

Authenticate with AfterShip:

This opens your browser and starts the OAuth flow. Choose the AfterShip organization you want the agent to work with, then return to the terminal — Claude Code stores the token automatically. No credentials need to be written into any config file.

Verify

Start a new conversation and ask:

Claude should list the available tools without calling any of them — such as list_shipments, get_shipment, list_returns, and so on. If Claude reports it has no such connector or lists no tools, reopen Settings → Connectors and confirm AfterShip Post-purchase shows as connected.

Troubleshooting

  • Tools do not appear after install. Re-run claude mcp login aftership-post-purchase; the OAuth flow may not have completed on the first attempt.
  • Wrong organization data. Remove the server with claude mcp remove aftership-post-purchase, add it again, and re-run claude mcp login aftership-post-purchase, selecting the correct organization during OAuth.
