About Freightview MCP Server
Connect your Freightview account to any AI agent to automate your LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight quoting and logistics management through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Freightview is a centralized platform that connects shippers with all their carriers in one place. This MCP server enables you to request real-time rates, monitor active shipments, and oversee your logistics network directly through natural conversation.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Freightview tools. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
Key Features
- Real-time Quoting — Request freight rates from all your connected carriers simultaneously by providing origin and destination details.
- Shipment Tracking — List all active shipments and fetch detailed tracking metadata including current transit status and estimated delivery.
- Carrier Oversight — Access and list all carriers connected to your account to maintain full visibility of your logistics partners.
- Logistics Directory — Access your saved address book and item catalog to facilitate faster and more accurate quoting.
- Webhook Integration — Monitor active webhooks configured for real-time status updates and automated logistics notifications.
- Account Metadata — Fetch detailed account attributes and contact information to maintain full context of your shipping operations.
- Audit & History — Retrieve historical quotes and shipment details for better cost analysis and reporting.
