Query ocean container status from your terminal

The `get_container_tracking` tool retrieves live location coordinates, vessel names, and ETA updates for any container ID. Claude Code executes this query directly from your CLI, bypassing the need to log into web dashboards. You can pipe this raw JSON output into terminal utilities like jq or use your agent to format the shipping status into a clean terminal table. It brings physical logistics data directly into your command-line workflow.

Automate supply chain audits via CLI

The `get_shipment_events` tool lists every recorded event for a specific shipment ID, from terminal gate-in to final delivery. Claude Code uses this event list to run automated audits on carrier transit times. You can ask your agent to parse these logs and flag any shipment that spent more than 48 hours at a transshipment port. This automates the tedious task of identifying bottlenecks in your supply chain.

Monitor active shipments via terminal-based MCP Server

The `list_active_shipments` tool fetches a list of all containers currently in transit under your SafeCube account. Claude Code queries this list to give you a quick snapshot of your active logistics operations. This tool is perfect for shell scripts. You can have your agent check the list of active shipments, cross-reference them with your local manifest, and highlight any discrepancies in seconds.
