Modern type-safe API clients for shipping carriers
Features • Packages • Quick Start • Documentation • Contributing
🚀 Overview
A production-ready monorepo containing enterprise-grade TypeScript API clients for shipping carriers. Built with modern architecture patterns, each client features plugin-based design, full type safety, and transport-agnostic implementation.
🎯 Why Carrier API?
- ✨ Type-Safe: Complete TypeScript coverage with strict typing
- 🔌 Plugin Architecture: Use only what you need, tree-shake the rest
- 🌐 Universal: Works in Node.js, browsers, and edge runtimes
- 🎨 Transport-Agnostic: Bring your own HTTP client
- 🤖 AI-Ready: MCP server for Claude and other AI assistants
- 📦 Zero Config: Sensible defaults, works out of the box

Transport Implementations
@shopana/novaposhta-transport-fetch
Fetch-based HTTP transport for Nova Poshta API client.
Features:
- 🌐 Cross-platform (Node.js, browsers, edge runtimes)
- ⚙️ Configurable headers and fetch implementation
- 🚫 AbortSignal support for request cancellation
- 📦 Minimal dependencies
- ⚡ Lightweight and fast
npm i @shopana/novaposhta-transport-fetch
🚀 Quick Start
Nova Poshta API Client
import { createClient, AddressService, ReferenceService, TrackingService } from '@shopana/novaposhta-api-client';
import { createFetchHttpTransport } from '@shopana/novaposhta-transport-fetch';
// Create client with plugins
const client = createClient({
transport: createFetchHttpTransport(),
baseUrl: 'https://api.novaposhta.ua/v2.0/json/',
apiKey: process.env.NOVA_POSHTA_API_KEY,
})
.use(new AddressService())
.use(new ReferenceService())
.use(new TrackingService());
// Use the namespaced API
const cities = await client.address.searchCities({ FindByString: 'Київ', Limit: 10 });
const cargoTypes = await client.reference.getCargoTypes();
const tracking = await client.tracking.trackDocument({ Documents: ['20450123456789'] });
console.log('Found cities:', cities.data.length);
console.log('Package status:', tracking.data[0].Status);
MCP Server for AI Assistants
Add to your .mcp.json or Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"novaposhta": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "-p", "@shopana/novaposhta-mcp-server", "novaposhta-mcp"],
"env": {
"NOVA_POSHTA_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Then ask Claude:
- "Track Nova Poshta package 20450123456789"
- "Find warehouses in Kyiv with POS terminals"
- "Calculate shipping cost from Kyiv to Lviv for 5kg parcel"
🏗️ Architecture
All carrier clients in this monorepo follow a consistent, battle-tested design pattern:

│ Your Application │
└──────────────┬──────────────────────────┘

┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Plugin-based API Client │

Key Principles
- 🔌 Plugin-based: Connect only the services you need
- 🎯 Type-safe: Complete TypeScript coverage with inference
- 🎨 Transport-agnostic: Use fetch, axios, or custom HTTP client
- 🌳 Tree-shakeable: Optimal bundle size - only what you use
- 📛 Namespaced API: Clean, organized method calls
- 🧪 Testable: Mock transport layer for unit tests
