Packrift MCP

Packaging supplies for AI assistants. Packrift MCP lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client find, size, price and order packaging from Packrift's in-stock catalog of 20,000+ shipping boxes, mailers, poly bags, labels, packing tape, stretch film and void fill. Its 6 documented tools cluster into read & search, create & write. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with ecommerce and packaging and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.
