How to Connect Nova Poshta to Claude — via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → Nova Poshta, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

Nova Poshta + Claude

Nova Poshta (Нова Пошта), Ukraine's parcel carrier: track up to 100 waybills at once, find cities and branches or parcel lockers, calculate delivery price and date, and list your own shipments. Tracking and lookups work without an API key.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

(none — public API)

Step 1 — Get credentials

1. Tracking, city and branch search, price and delivery-date calculation work without a key: there is nothing to set up.
2. Only nova_poshta_list_shipments (your own waybills) needs a key. In the Nova Poshta business account at new.novaposhta.ua open Settings → Security, click Create key, accept the API terms and put the key in NOVA_POSHTA_API_KEY. A key is valid for one year; an expired key makes every call fail, so renew it or clear the variable.
3. nova_poshta_track_parcels takes up to 100 waybill (TTN) numbers. Add the sender's or recipient's phone to get the full record; without it you get the status only.
4. For price and delivery date, resolve the city with nova_poshta_search_settlements and pass its DeliveryCity value (not Ref) to nova_poshta_get_delivery_price or nova_poshta_get_delivery_date, with a service type: Warehouse (branch), Doors (address) or Postomat (parcel locker).

Dates are DD.MM.YYYY, weight is in kg and the declared value in UAH. Nova Poshta answers HTTP 200 even when a call fails, so the assistant reads success and errors; an unknown tracking number comes back as "Номер не знайдено" (number not found). Texts are in Ukrainian, and many records also carry a Russian DescriptionRu.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
3. Enter a name, e.g. Nova Poshta, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
