Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 11 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Tracking shipments used to mean opening five different tabs just to get one status update., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
You know the drill. You need a single shipment's ETA, but you have to log into Pando's main dashboard, click 'Shipments,' find the ID, then maybe open a separate tab to check the carrier list, and if that doesn't work, you might even cross-reference it with an old spreadsheet. It takes time, clicks, and sometimes, nothing.
With this MCP server, you just ask your AI client: 'What is the status of shipment #123?' The agent runs `get_shipment_details`, pulls all that metadata—carrier, route, current location—and gives you a single, clean summary right where you are talking. No tabs needed.
Pando MCP Server: Get full control over logistics from chat.
Before this, scheduling new transport required emailing the ops team a request form, hoping they could get the necessary indent details and confirming capacity manually. It was slow, prone to human error, and left people waiting for confirmations all day.
Now, you just ask your agent to 'Create an indent for three trucks from Delhi tomorrow.' The agent handles the `create_indent` call, notes which carriers are notified, and gives you a confirmation ID. You move faster—period.
What your AI can actually do with this
Pando lets your AI agent take over complex logistics operations right in your chat window. You don't gotta jump between a dozen separate tabs or portals; you just talk to your agent and it handles the heavy lifting using Pando's core transport management system tools.
Getting Shipment Status: Tracking Your Goods
You can get comprehensive information on specific shipments by calling get_shipment_details, which pulls all the necessary status data for a single tracking number. If you need a summary of everything moving right now, use list_shipments to pull a quick overview list of every shipment recorded in Pando.
Managing Vehicle Placement: Indents and Routes
When you need a vehicle placed somewhere, your agent can handle it immediately. You'll ask it to create a new indent using create_indent, passing all the required data as a clean JSON string. If that indent already exists, you don't wanna guess—you can retrieve specific details for an existing request with get_indent_details.
To see what indents are currently active across your whole network, just call list_indents.
For planning the movement itself, the system keeps track of all configured routes via list_routes, letting you know exactly where things gotta go. You can also manage vehicle availability by listing every registered vehicle with list_vehicles, or checking out which transport carriers are active in your system using list_carriers.
Mapping Location Data: Knowing Your Nodes
To keep tabs on your physical footprint, you've got access to master warehouse and location data. Use list_locations to pull a complete list of every physical site configured in Pando, giving you total visibility into all your supply chain nodes.
Inventory Lookup: Materials Database Access
Need to know what materials you're tracking? The agent can access the registered materials database by calling list_materials, which pulls up a full list and provides unit metadata for every product you handle.
System Integrity Checks
Before you start, you should always check that the connection is solid. You can verify if Pando's API connection is active and working using check_api_status.
Your AI agent acts like a dedicated logistics coordinator for your team. It pulls data from shipment tracking, vehicle allocation records, master location lists, and material databases—all without you ever leaving your chat window. You get full control over fulfillment orchestration by accessing every tool in Pando's system.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is: your AI acts as an API wrapper, translating complex logistics requests into simple conversation.
Subscribe to the Pando MCP Server. Then, enter your API Token into your client's settings.
Your AI agent runs the necessary tools (e.g., list_shipments) through natural language commands.
The agent synthesizes the data from multiple endpoints and gives you a clear answer in the chat interface.
Who is this actually for?
This is for the Operations Manager who gets sick of jumping between five different dashboards just to check on a single shipment. It's for the Supply Chain Planner who needs to automate vehicle indent creation and track materials without writing boilerplate code. If your job involves constant visibility checks across multiple systems, this server saves you hours.
Uses list_shipments to quickly pull summaries of all active deliveries and monitors vehicle availability using list_indents without leaving the chat.
Automates planning by running create_indent for new routes, cross-referencing materials from list_materials, and checking route feasibility via list_routes.
Uses list_locations to search physical warehouse nodes and checks system health using check_api_status before running any major logistics query.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop checking status manually. By using list_shipments and get_shipment_details, you get real-time updates on individual deliveries without opening a browser tab.
Never lose track of equipment again. You can list all available vehicles with list_vehicles or check fleet capacity and carrier details via list_carriers in one conversation.
Planning vehicle movements is fast. Instead of filling out forms, you just ask the agent to create_indent, which handles the request submission instantly.
Inventory checks are immediate. Use list_materials to pull unit metadata directly into your workflow, so you don't have to consult a separate ERP system.
See your whole network at a glance. The ability to search and list master locations via list_locations gives instant visibility of every warehouse node.
See it in action
Tracking an Emergency Shipment
A shipment is delayed, and you need the latest info. Instead of calling customer service or logging into a tracking portal, you ask your agent to use get_shipment_details for that specific ID. The agent returns the precise status, last known location, and expected delay time instantly.
Bulk Fleet Planning
It’s Monday morning, and you need 15 trucks moved from Warehouse A to Hub B over three days. You ask your agent to run list_routes first, then use the data to bulk-create indents via create_indent, ensuring all required vehicles are accounted for.
Auditing Inventory Records
The finance team needs a manifest of all specialized parts used last quarter. You ask your agent to run list_materials and filter by unit type. The agent returns the metadata list, allowing you to quickly verify billing data without running separate reports.
Verifying System Health Before Peak Season
Before a major holiday rush, you need assurance that all systems are ready. You start by checking check_api_status and then run list_locations to confirm every node is still active in the system. This preempts potential downtime.
The honest tradeoffs
Manual Status Check
Opening the Pando website, finding the shipment tracking page, pasting the ID, hitting enter, and repeating that process for every single delivery.
Just ask your agent to use get_shipment_details with the shipment ID. The agent handles the multi-step lookup and gives you one clean summary.
Guessing Indent Details
Trying to remember if an indent was for a truck or a trailer, and manually cross-referencing old emails with the internal fleet list.
Use get_indent_details on the specific ID. It pulls all required specifics—vehicle type, date, origin, destination—into one place.
Fragmented Data Gathering
First checking available carriers with one tool, then listing vehicles separately, and finally trying to cross-reference them in a spreadsheet.
Ask the agent: 'List all available transport options for this route.' The agent uses multiple tools (list_carriers, list_vehicles) behind the scenes and gives you the combined answer.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use Pando if your job requires multi-step data orchestration. If you need to check a shipment status, and then list nearby warehouses, and finally create an indent—this server handles that entire sequence in one chat turn. It’s designed for complex visibility workflows.
Don't use it if you only need simple reporting, like generating a basic PDF manifest from data already loaded into your internal database. For pure read-only queries against static records, a dedicated database query tool is better. If all you need is to view the name of one specific location, using list_locations via the agent works, but if you are running thousands of simple lookups daily, consider an API client that bypasses the conversational layer entirely.
Questions you might have
How do I check if my Pando API token is correct using the check_api_status tool? +
Run check_api_status first. This simply verifies that your credentials are active and that the connection to Pando's system hasn't dropped out, ensuring you don't waste time on failed requests.
What is the difference between list_shipments and get_shipment_details? +
list_shipments gives you a summary list of all shipments. Use it when you want to see how many shipments exist or which ones are active. get_shipment_details requires a specific ID and returns every piece of granular data about one single shipment.
Can I use list_locations to find nearby warehouses? +
Yes, you can run list_locations to get the master list. If your agent supports filtering, you can narrow down the search by region or name to help pinpoint specific facilities.
How do I create an indent request using the create_indent tool? +
You need to provide the data in a JSON string format. The agent will guide you on what fields are required (like origin, destination, and vehicle count) before running create_indent.
Which tool should I use if I just want to see all available carriers? +
Use the list_carriers tool. It pulls a list of every transport company registered with Pando, which is helpful for planning and rate comparisons.
How do I use get_indent_details if I need to track the status of a specific vehicle indent? +
It retrieves the full history for that request. You just pass the unique indent ID, and it shows all associated metadata—including expected transit times or any changes in assigned carrier details.
Can list_materials help me find unit metadata for a specific inventory item? +
Yes. The tool lets you search by material code or name. It returns detailed records, including the current count of units and any associated storage location data across your network.
What operational metrics does list_vehicles provide about capacity and status? +
The function lists all registered vehicles, returning details beyond just the plate number. You get critical operational metrics like vehicle type (e.g., refrigerated or closed body) and its current availability status.
Can my AI automatically find the status for a specific shipment by its ID? +
Yes! Use the get_shipment tool with the Shipment ID. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, including carrier name, current stage, and expected delivery dates in seconds.
How do I find my Pando TMS API Token? +
Log in to your Pando TMS dashboard, navigate to your Profile or Developer settings, and you will find your unique secret token under the 'API Info' section.
What is a vehicle 'indent'? +
An indent is a formal request within the Pando platform to assign a specific vehicle for a shipment. You can track their lifecycle from placement to fulfillment via the AI.
