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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
