What is the ECGrid MCP server?

The ECGrid MCP server connects the ECGrid network to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol, an open standard, so any MCP-compatible assistant can use ECGrid as a set of callable tools. It exposes 41+ purpose-built tools covering interchange and parcel tracking, mailbox and trading partner management, AS2 and SFTP diagnostics, delivery testing, document counts, webhook monitoring, and user administration.

Which AI assistants work with the ECGrid MCP server?

ECGrid works with Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and other MCP-compatible assistants. Chat applications like Claude and ChatGPT connect through the desktop application rather than the browser.

Can AI assistants change or send data through ECGrid MCP?

No. Access is read-only today: assistants can look things up but never change, send, or delete. Authentication is API-key based, and every request is scoped to your existing ECGrid authorization level. Write-capable tools, such as partner onboarding, are on the roadmap.

How do I set up ECGrid in my AI assistant?

Set up once, then just ask. Get an API key from your ECGrid account (new customers start with a quick access request), add ECGrid to the assistant you already use, and paste in your key. Then ask in plain language, like tracing an EDI 850 back to its interchange or checking whether a partner's files arrived.

Interact with your B2B Communications right in your AI chat.

For B2B operators and the teams they serve, ECGrid turns live network questions into instant, interactive answers inside the AI assistant you already use.

What changes for you

This completely changes how you work. For the better.

Interact right in your AI chat.

No portal, no API knowledge, no new tool to learn. Ask in plain language, in the AI assistant you already have open.

Analyze and troubleshoot, not just look things up.

The value is not data in your chat, it is instant analysis. "Why did this fail?" "What is the AS2 MDN saying?" Answered, not just retrieved.

Get to solutions faster, interactively.

Filter, drill down, and resolve inside a live, branded panel. Seconds instead of escalations.

The experience

A live, interactive answer. Right where you already work.

ECGrid does not just drop rows into your chat. Each answer comes back as a rendered panel you can filter, page through, and refresh, all in the assistant you already have open.

It is live today and improving weekly. Industry-leading interactivity, built for the questions you actually ask.

Getting started

Set up once. Then just ask.

If you already work with ECGrid, you are most of the way there. If you are new, there is a short access step first, and then it is the same for everyone.

Step 01

Get your access key.

Already on ECGrid? Request an API key from your account. New to ECGrid? Start a quick access request and we will get you set up.

Step 02

Connect it to your AI.

Add ECGrid to the assistant you already use, then paste in your key. Works with Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and more.

Step 03

Ask in plain language.

"Trace this EDI 850 back to its interchange." "Did partner X's files arrive?" The answer comes back analyzed, right in your chat.

Nothing new to trust.

Read-only access, scoped to the exact authorization you already have. Look things up; never change, send, or delete.
