Ask your account a question. Or call it from code.
Next Horizon has an MCP server, so an AI assistant can read your orders, parcels, stock, returns and shipping costs, and act on them when you say so. And a REST API, so your own systems can do the same without anyone typing.
Two ways in.
One for the people on your team, one for the systems they run. Both work from your account's live records.
MCP server, for AI assistants
Add Next Horizon to any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol, sign in with your Next Horizon login and ask in everyday language. It sees your account and nothing else. Every account can connect.
REST API, for your systems
For the ERP, OMS, BI tool or internal app that has no connector. Keys are issued per account with the scopes the project needs, and can be revoked at any time. Access is on request.
Sample questions.
Questions you can type, and the account's answers.
| You ask | You get |
|---|---|
| Which orders are still waiting to ship? | Every order without a label yet, with the customer, the destination and the items. |
| Where is order 1042? | Its parcels, the carrier, the latest scan and the public tracking link. |
| Is anything stuck or late this week? | The open alerts, each with the reason and how long the parcel has waited. |
| How much did shipping cost us last month? | Spend per carrier, from the labels bought through us and from imported carrier invoices. |
| Which SKUs are about to run out? | Stock per SKU and location: on hand, committed to orders, and the SKUs that are low against your reorder point. |
| How many returns this quarter, and why? | Returns requested and resolved, the reasons given, and the items that come back most. |
| Ship order 1042. | Live rates first. The label is bought only once you confirm the total. |
| Book a collection for tomorrow afternoon. | The pickup window and its price, booked when you say yes. |
| Open a return for this order. | A return raised against the order and the items coming back. |
It reads your account without asking and spends only after you confirm.
Anything that costs money, a label or a pickup, comes back as a quote with the total first and waits for your confirmation. Buying from a chat also has a daily limit, which caps the cost of a mistaken request.
Connecting the MCP server.
A few minutes, and no developer needed.

Add it to your assistant

Sign in with your Next Horizon login
The assistant works as you, on your account only.
Ask
Start with a question about your orders, parcels or stock.
The REST API, for systems without a connector.
Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, TikTok Shop and eBay connect in a few minutes. When the system is something else, the API is how your developers reach the same records.
- Parcel status inside your customer service tool, so the team stops switching tabs to answer “where is my order”.
- Shipping cost and delivery times in your BI, next to revenue.
- Stock per location read into the system that plans replenishment.
- Labels and returns triggered from your own back office.
Access and keys. Keys are issued on request for your account, with the scopes your project needs, and can be revoked at any time.

Questions we get asked.
Which AI assistants work with the MCP server?
Any assistant that can connect to a remote MCP server. You add Next Horizon as a connector and sign in with your Next Horizon login.
Can the assistant see other accounts?
No. It signs in as you and reads only the account you signed in to.
Can it buy labels without asking?
No. It quotes first and shows the total. A label or a pickup is bought only after you confirm, and buying from a chat has a daily limit.
Who can get API access?
Any Next Horizon customer can ask. Keys are issued for your account with the scopes your project needs, and can be revoked at any time. The MCP server needs no approval.
My store already has a connector. Do I need the API?
Usually not. Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, TikTok Shop and eBay connect in a few minutes. The API is for the systems the connectors do not cover.
