Frequently asked questions
How can I check if a carrier is currently authorized to transport goods?
You can use the get_carrier_authority tool with the carrier's DOT number. This will return the official operating authority status directly from FMCSA records.
Can I find a carrier's DOT number if I only have their business name?
Yes, use the search_carriers_by_name tool. Provide the Legal or DBA name, and the agent will return a list of matching carriers along with their U.S. DOT numbers.
Does this tool show safety ratings and inspection violations?
Yes. The get_carrier_basics tool retrieves safety performance data (BASIC measures), and get_carrier_oos provides data on Out-of-Service orders.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
