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.
Pydantic AI validates every Freightview tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
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.
The Freightview MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
