Navisphere MCP Server

This server hooks your freight account right up to your AI client. It manages every move in logistics—from finding available loads and figuring out prices, to placing bids and tracking the whole damn thing until it hits its final stop. You handle all this stuff just by talking to your agent.

Finding Loads and Setting Rates

You can search the network for specific freight loads using search_available_loads. Just give it an origin, a destination, and what kind of equipment you need—it pulls up everything that fits. Once you spot a load ID you're interested in, you pull up the full scoop on it with get_load_details, which gives you all the nuts and bolts of that particular freight requirement.

Before you commit to anything, you can run a market query using get_rate_estimate. This tool tells you what a shipment rate should be for that lane right now—it's your gut check before bidding.

When you know the value, you can jump into action. You submit your price on specific loads with submit_bid when you want to bid up a load ID. If another carrier sends you an offer through your account, you accept it instantly using accept_offer. This lets you manage multiple offers without leaving the chat window.

Booking and Setting Up Shipments

Need to start a whole new shipment? You create the record right away with create_shipment, feeding in all the necessary customer API data. For visibility, you can set up real-time alerts using subscribe_webhooks. This means your AI client gets hit with notifications about critical events on certain loads or shipments as they happen.

Tracking and Status Management

For active freight, tracking is a multi-step process. To get the general idea of where things are, you check the known customer shipment ID using track_shipment. This gives you all the main milestones—the big picture stuff. But if you need to know what just happened, you run get_tracking_events, which pulls high-frequency, granular updates for an active load ID, telling you exactly when and where it moved last.

When a shipment hits key operational points, you update the status directly using update_shipment_status. You mark things like 'Loaded' or 'Departed,' keeping your internal records accurate. The system also handles documentation; you attach all required paperwork—like Proofs of Delivery (PODs) and Bills of Lading (BOLs)—to a specific active shipment record using upload_shipment_documents.

This keeps your compliance solid and the billing clean.

How It Works When You Use It

Your AI client acts as the interface, running these tools based on your conversational commands. If you tell it, 'Find me a load from Miami to Atlanta,' it executes search_available_loads. If you follow up with, 'Bid $3,500 on that one,' it fires off submit_bid against the specific load ID found moments before.

It keeps all these steps connected so you don't gotta manually jump between a dozen different screens. You just talk to your agent, and it makes the connections in the background.
