How to Use the Freightview MCP in Mastra AI
Automate complex freight quoting and tracking workflows with automatic retries using Mastra AI.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Freightview MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect Freightview to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate LTL Quoting in Mastra AI
Freight APIs fail constantly. Building an MCP workflow in Mastra AI means you get built-in exponential backoff when `request_rates` hits a rate limit or times out. Your agent pulls the product dimensions using `list_item_catalog`, requests the rates, and filters the results via `list_freight_quotes`. If a carrier throws an error, the workflow automatically retries without you writing custom loop logic.
Branching Logic for Shipment Failures
You need a system that reacts when things go wrong on the dock. Your Mastra workflow can poll `get_shipment_details` and branch conditionally based on the transit status. If a load is delayed, the agent automatically triggers `list_contacts` to find the warehouse manager, then sends an alert. You build resilient logistics pipelines that actually handle edge cases.
Human-in-the-Loop Carrier Selection
You probably don't want an AI booking a ten-thousand-dollar freight load completely unsupervised. This MCP Server integrates directly with Mastra's requireToolApproval feature. The agent gathers options using `list_connected_carriers` and prepares the booking. Before it finalizes anything, execution pauses. A human reviews the choice, clicks approve, and the workflow resumes.
