Quickstart

Get up and running with the Autena API in minutes.

1. Get your credentials

All requests require authentication. Create credentials from the Dashboard under Platform Configuration > API Keys.

You'll receive:

• API Key (atn_*) — for REST API requests
• Client ID + Client Secret — for OAuth token exchange (used by MCP clients)

Store all credentials securely. The API key and client secret are only shown once.

2. Make your first request

REST API

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer atn_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  https://api.autena.ai/v1/shipments

MCP (for AI tools)

If you're connecting an LLM client, the MCP server endpoint is:

https://api.autena.ai/v1/mcp

See Examples for ready-to-copy configs for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom agents.

3. Track a shipment

curl -X POST https://api.autena.ai/v1/shipments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer atn_YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "transport_mode": "ocean",
    "carrier": "MAEU",
    "identifiers": {
      "mbl": "MEDU1234567"
    }
  }'

4. Get shipment status

curl https://api.autena.ai/v1/shipments/{shipment_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer atn_YOUR_API_KEY"
