About Kargo MCP Server
Connect your Kargo logistics account to your AI agent and optimize your supply chain and loading dock operations through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Kargo tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Shipment Tracking — List all shipments for your facility and get real-time status updates and carrier info.
- Order Management — Access facility-wide customer orders and their current status.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch complete metadata for specific shipments or orders using their unique numbers.
- Data Synchronization — Push order and shipment payload data directly to Kargo's Unified Endpoint to keep systems in sync.
- Facility & Device Oversight — List all business facilities and monitor the status of active IoT devices (cameras, sensors).
- Audit Logs — Review the history of data payloads pushed to the platform.
The Kargo MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
