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 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.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query FMCSA Licensing & Insurance tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
