Send247 Delivery MCP Server

The Send247 Delivery MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to quote and book UK deliveries through a structured, safe, and auditable interface.

It is designed for ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, and other MCP-compatible clients.

---

What This App Does

The MCP server exposes delivery functionality as tools that an AI assistant can safely invoke:

• Get real-time delivery quotes between UK addresses
• Create (book) a delivery using a previously generated quote
• Enforce confirmation before any irreversible action
• Maintain server-side state so LLM session continuity is not required

This app is intended for end users located in the United Kingdom.

---

Available Tools

get_delivery_quote

Returns delivery options and prices for a shipment.

Typical use

• User wants to know delivery cost
• User compares services before booking

Key properties

• Not read-only (stateful quote caching)
• Open world (uses external delivery providers)
• Non-destructive

---

create_delivery

Creates a delivery booking using a previously issued quote.

Typical use

• User explicitly confirms they want to book a delivery

Key properties

• Writes data
• Open world
• Destructive (creates irreversible delivery bookings)

This tool must only be invoked after explicit user confirmation.

MCP Client Configuration

This MCP server is publicly accessible and can be connected to by any MCP-compatible client.

Authentication and request validation are handled at the gateway level. No client-side API keys are required.

---

ChatGPT / OpenAI MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "send247-delivery": {
      "url": "https://mcp.send247.uk/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Once connected, enable the app in a conversation and prompt normally (for example: “Get a delivery quote from London to Manchester”).

Claude MCP Configuration (Anthropic)

Claude Desktop & Claude Code

Claude runs MCP servers locally and does not yet support direct remote MCP URLs. To connect Claude to send247, we use the official MCP remote bridge (@modelcontextprotocol/remote), which proxies the remote MCP server over stdio.

1. Install MCP Remote: npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/remote

2. Add the following to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "send247-delivery": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@modelcontextprotocol/remote",
        "https://mcp.send247.uk/api/v1/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude will automatically discover available tools via tools/list.

---

GitHub Copilot (VS Code) MCP Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "send247-delivery": {
      "url": "https://mcp.send247.uk/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

When using Copilot Chat, tools will appear when delivery-related prompts are detected.

---

Optional: MCP Manifest (Discoverability)

For platforms or registries that support MCP manifests, you may include the following file:

mcp.json

{
  "name": "Send247 Delivery",
  "description": "UK delivery quotes and booking via the Model Context Protocol",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "endpoint": "https://mcp.send247.uk/api/v1/mcp",
  "capabilities": {
    "tools": true
  }
}

This is optional but improves discoverability.

Safety & Design Guarantees

• No deliveries are created without explicit confirmation
• Quotes expire automatically
• Tool schemas are strictly validated
• Server-side state ensures reliability across LLM sessions
• All write actions are auditable

---

Intended Use

This MCP server is intended for:

• AI assistants offering delivery services
• Agentic workflows that require logistics actions
• End users in the United Kingdom

It is not a general logistics SDK and does not expose raw provider APIs.

---
