FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How do I track a specific shipment using its ID?

You can use the 'get_shipment' tool and provide the Flexport Shipment ID. The agent will return the most recent status, location, and estimated arrival dates for that shipment.

02

Can I retrieve commercial invoices for customs purposes?

Yes! The 'list_commercial_invoices' and 'list_documents' tools allow you to access the necessary paperwork for customs clearance. You can even use 'download_document' to get a temporary link to the actual file.

03

Is it possible to filter invoices by shipment?

Absolutely. Use the 'list_shipment_invoices' tool and provide the Shipment ID. The agent will retrieve all freight billing documents associated with that specific cargo movement.

04

How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?

Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.

05

Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?

Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query Flexport tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.

06
