How can I check if a vehicle is currently moving?

Use the `get_vehicle_location` tool. It returns the last known GPS coordinates, speed, and heading for the specified vehicle ID.

Can I update a driver's status through the agent?

Yes. Use the `update_driver_status` tool and provide the new duty status (e.g., 'On Duty', 'Driving', or 'Off Duty') to keep your logs accurate.

How do I access shipping documents for a load?

Use the `list_documents` tool. It retrieves all scanned paperwork associated with your shipments, allowing your agent to audit or summarize the contents.

About Axle MCP Server

Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire logistics operation with Axle, the comprehensive fleet management platform. By connecting Axle to your agent, you transform complex supply chain monitoring into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly track real-time vehicle locations, audit driver duty statuses, monitor shipment progress, and retrieve essential shipping documents without you ever touching a heavy transportation dashboard. Whether you're managing a local delivery crew or a national trucking network, your agent acts as a real-time dispatch coordinator, ensuring your fleet is always moving and compliant.

LangChain's ecosystem of 500+ components combines seamlessly with Axle through native MCP adapters. Connect 12 tools via Vinkius and use ReAct agents, Plan-and-Execute strategies, or custom agent architectures. with LangSmith tracing giving full visibility into every tool call, latency, and token cost.

What you can do

Vehicle Tracking — List all vehicles in your fleet and retrieve real-time GPS locations and technical health details.
Driver Management — Audit driver profiles, monitor current duty statuses (On Duty, Driving, etc.), and check available Hours of Service (HOS).
Load Orchestration — Monitor shipment progress, list active loads, and update shipment details dynamically via natural language.
Document Retrieval — Access scanned shipping documents and paperwork associated with specific loads for instant auditing.
System Health — Quickly verify connection status and logistics network integrity directly from your chat interface.

The Axle MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LangChain in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
