Read Lalamove cities, vehicles, quotations and orders; quote, place, tip and cancel deliveries. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"lalamove": {
"url": "https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"lalamove": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://lalamove.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment.
Find them in the Lalamove Partner Portal (partnerportal.lalamove.com) under the Developers tab; switch the environment at the top right to see the sandbox or the production pair. Production keys (pk_prod / sk_prod) need a topped-up wallet. Choose the market the keys were issued for. Your secret is used only to sign requests to the Lalamove API on your behalf; it is never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the Lalamove connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
lalamove_list_cities | read | List cities, vehicles and special requests The cities of the connected market with the vehicle types (serviceType keys such as MOTORCYCLE or CAR), their size and load, and the special requests each vehicle accepts. Use these exact keys in lalamove_create_quotation. GET /v3/cities. |
lalamove_get_quotation | read | Get quotation A quotation by id: stops (with stopId), vehicle, price breakdown, currency, distance and expiresAt (a quotation can be ordered for 5 minutes). GET /v3/quotations/{quotationId}. |
lalamove_get_order | read | Get order One delivery order: status (ASSIGNING_DRIVER, ON_GOING, PICKED_UP, COMPLETED, CANCELED, REJECTED, EXPIRED), price breakdown, driver id, share link, distance, stops with proof of delivery and metadata. Only orders from the last 60 days can be read. GET /v3/orders/{orderId}. |
lalamove_get_driver | read | Get driver and location The driver of an order: name, phone, masked plate number, photo and last known coordinates (updated about every 10 seconds). Lalamove only shares this from 1 hour before the scheduled pickup (or the driver's arrival, whichever is earlier) until the order is completed; outside that window it answers 403. GET /v3/orders/{orderId}/drivers/{driverId}. |
lalamove_track_order | read | Track order Where is my delivery: the order status, stop-level proof of delivery and share link, plus (when a driver has the order and it is on its way) the driver's name and live coordinates. Two reads: GET /v3/orders/{orderId} and, if a driver is assigned and the order is ON_GOING or PICKED_UP, GET /v3/orders/{orderId}/drivers/{driverId}. |
lalamove_create_quotation | write | Get a delivery quotation Price a delivery: 2-16 stops (the first is the pickup, the rest are drop-offs), a vehicle type and optional extras. Returns quotationId, per-stop stopId, the price breakdown and currency, distance and expiresAt (about 5 minutes). It creates a quotation only: nothing is ordered and nothing is charged. Get the vehicle keys from lalamove_list_cities. Show the price to the user before placing an order. POST /v3/quotations. |
lalamove_place_order | write | Place delivery order (charges the wallet) WRITE, SPENDS MONEY: order a delivery from a quotation. In production the total price is charged to the prepaid Lalamove wallet and a driver is dispatched; cancellation is only free within Lalamove's policy. Only call it after the user has seen the quotation price and said yes. confirm_total must equal the quotation total (it is checked against Lalamove, and an expired quotation is refused). The recipients are given in stop order and matched to the quotation's drop-off stops by the tool. The order is placed once: do not retry after an error without checking lalamove_get_order. POST /v3/orders. |
lalamove_add_priority_fee | write | Add priority fee (tip, charges the wallet) WRITE, SPENDS MONEY: add a priority fee (tip) to an order to attract a driver. Only possible before a driver accepts the order. The amount replaces the earlier fee and must be higher than it; the difference is charged to the wallet. Amount in the market's currency (see the order's priceBreakdown.currency). POST /v3/orders/{orderId}/priority-fee. |
lalamove_cancel_order | write | Cancel order WRITE, DESTRUCTIVE: cancel a delivery order. Lalamove only allows it while the order is ASSIGNING_DRIVER, or less than 5 minutes after a driver accepted it; otherwise it answers ERR_CANCELLATION_FORBIDDEN. A cancelled order cannot be revived, only re-placed from a new quotation. DELETE /v3/orders/{orderId}. |
lalamove_change_driver | write | Change driver WRITE: ask Lalamove to replace the driver of an order (no extra fee). Allowed 15 minutes after the driver was matched and before pickup; the order goes back to ASSIGNING_DRIVER and a new driver is looked for. Needs the current driver id from lalamove_get_order. DELETE /v3/orders/{orderId}/drivers/{driverId}. |
lalamove_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
lalamove_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Lalamove tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
lalamove_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on Lalamove (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $19/month or $190/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
lalamove_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's Lalamove Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run lalamove_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this Lalamove server only. Subscribe with lalamove_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with lalamove_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running lalamove_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Lalamove. The server calls the Lalamove API with your own Lalamove access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your API key, API secret, Market and Environment. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Lalamove API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Lalamove.
Yes, if you approve it. 5 of the 10 Lalamove tools can create or change data. The other 5 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Lalamove server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run lalamove_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run lalamove_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run lalamove_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with lalamove_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
