Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 1 capability

FAQ

Questions FMCSA SaferWeb owners ask.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    What kind of carrier data can my agent retrieve?

  • 04

    Can I search for carriers by name?

    Yes. You can search using a USDOT number, an MC/MX number, or the legal company name.

    Is the data real-time?

    The MCP provides access to the official FMCSA SAFER system records.

  • 06

    Can I look up a trucking company using just its legal name?
