Shippingrates MCP Server

MCP server for ShippingRates Shipping Intelligence API — Demurrage & Detention rates, local charges, inland haulage via x402 micropayments. Exposed over MCP by the shippingrates mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Ocean container shipping intelligence for AI agents — real carrier tariff data, detention & demurrage, freight rates, vessel schedules, and total landed cost across 6 major carriers.

ShippingRates gives AI agents access to structured, carrier-sourced data for container shipping decisions — D&D slab breakdowns, local port charges, inland haulage rates, freight rates, vessel schedules, port congestion, and full landed cost calculations.

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by vinaybhosle; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

• Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the shippingrates mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
