Perplexity

Automate quoting in Cursor

Write scripts that fetch rates using `request_rates` while you code. Cursor executes these calls in real-time to give you actual API data. Stop relying on hardcoded mocks. You get live carrier responses that help you test your logic against real-world freight scenarios.

Integrate carrier data into your app

Pull carrier info directly into your codebase using `get_carrier_details`. Your AI assistant can now write functions that process your specific carrier list. Use `list_connected_carriers` to see exactly who is available. It makes building custom dashboards significantly faster.

Build tracking features with Freightview

Embed live shipment updates into your software by calling `get_shipment_details`. You can now trigger logic based on the actual status of a shipment. Your code stays synced with your operations. It’s the easiest way to handle logistics data programmatically.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
