Freight Right for AI assistants¶
Connect your Freight Right account to Claude, ChatGPT or any other assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol — and ask about your freight in plain language. No API key: you sign in to Freight Right — or create a free account right there — approve what the assistant may do, and disconnect it whenever you like. Customers connect their own organizations; Freight Right administrators, once switched on, connect the whole platform.
- Where is my container from Shanghai?
- Which of my shipments arrive this week?
- Price two 40HC from Ningbo to Long Beach, port to port.
- Ask Freight Right to quote a truckload to Monterrey.
- Ask Freight Right's team for special rates, Shanghai to Los Angeles, over the next two months.
Connect in three steps¶
-
Add the connector
Paste the URL below into your assistant's connector settings — Claude,
ChatGPT or a developer tool.
https://mcp.freightright.com/mcp - Sign in and approve Your browser opens Freight Right. Sign in with your usual Shipment Manager login — or create a free account on that page, it takes a few minutes — and read the one list of what the assistant will be able to do. Approve it.
- Ask something Start a new chat and ask about a shipment, a price or a quote. Your assistant shows when it uses Freight Right.
Set up your assistant¶
Claude Web, desktop and mobile share one connector list. Two clicks and a sign-in.
ChatGPT Developer mode, OAuth — the same URL, the same sign-in.
Claude Code
One command, then /mcp to authenticate.
Agent plugins One command installs the connector and the skills that go with it, in six clients.
Endpoints¶
https://mcp.freightright.com/mcp
Your live Freight Right account: real shipments, real prices, real bookings. This is the URL used throughout these pages, and the one the agent plugins ship.
https://staging-mcp.sm.freightright.com/mcp
For developers testing an integration. Sign in with a staging Shipment Manager account; everything there is test data, and a booking placed there reaches nobody.
What it will and will not do¶
It reads your account Shipments, quotes and live prices — the same things you see in Shipment Manager, for your own organizations.
It can ask us to quote, and ask our team A quote request goes to Freight Right's pricing team, if you approved that capability. A request to our team — a spot rate, a contract, booking help, a shipment problem, a correction, a feature — is sent only after you saw its preview and said yes, and answered by e-mail.
It cannot book anything An assistant only prepares a booking and hands you a link. It is sent when you click, signed in to Freight Right. How that works.
It never sees your password And Freight Right never sees your conversation. Security and data handling.
