What is the Opendock MCP server?

MCP server for the Opendock dock scheduling and warehouse management API. Exposed over MCP by the opendock mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Set the required environment variables before launching Claude Code, or pass them in the MCP config.

Adding it to your client

opendock-mcp on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • Category — Tools
  • General — get_version, get_profile
  • Warehouses — list_warehouses, get_warehouse, get_warehouse_hours, create_warehouse, update_warehouse, delete_warehouse
  • Docks — list_docks, get_dock, create_dock, update_dock, delete_dock, sort_docks, get_dock_availability
  • Appointments — list_appointments, search_appointments, get_appointment, create_appointment, update_appointment, delete_appointment, get_public_appointment
  • Carriers — list_carriers, get_carrier, create_carrier, update_carrier, get_booked_carriers
  • Companies — list_companies, get_company, create_company
  • Orgs — get_org, update_org, update_favorite_carriers
  • Metrics — get_appointment_volume_by_date, get_appointment_volume_by_carrier, get_appointment_volume_by_load_type, get_appointment_volume_by_time_of_day

Configuration

You will need 4 environment variables: OPENDOCK_USERNAME, OPENDOCK_PASSWORD, OPENDOCK_TOKEN, OPENDOCK_API_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Node.js 18+ - An Opendock account with API access

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 9 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Opendock.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the opendock mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Plenty of developer tooling 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. Opendock's toolset — Category, General, Warehouses and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Pollamin; 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.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Opendock to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 9 tools (Category, General, Warehouses, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Opendock directly.
