Neutral freight reference + validation layer for AI agents — ADR dangerous goods, HS codes, airlines, airports, UN/LOCODE, Incoterms, identifier
Neutral freight reference + validation layer for AI agents — ADR dangerous goods, HS codes, airlines, airports, UN/LOCODE, Incoterms, identifier validation and freight math. Every tool declares a typed output schema and returns a. That is what the freightutils mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
FreightUtils is the neutral freight reference layer for AI agents — authoritative dangerous-goods, customs, location and freight-calculation data an agent can call and cite, from primary sources (ADR 2025 / UNECE, HS 2022 / WCO, IATA-regulated airline prefixes). Neutral by design: no freight to sell and no carrier to push, so an agent can trust it as ground truth regardless of who carries the load.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at freightutils-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Calculators — The Calculators tool exposed by this serverValidation — The Validation tool exposed by this serverComposite — The Composite tool exposed by this serverSubscription — The Subscription tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: FREIGHTUTILS_API_KEY, FREIGHTUTILS_API_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of payments and commerce servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Freightutils MCP's toolset — Calculators, Validation, Composite and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by soapyred; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
