Why this exists
Freight pricing is normally hidden behind quote forms. This server exposes published tariffs so an AI agent can answer "how much does it cost to move 20 m3 from Barcelona to London" with a real number, cite the source, and then submit the order on the user's behalf.
Every figure comes from a published tariff table. Nothing is modelled, extrapolated or invented — if a route does not publish a pallet rate, the server says so instead of guessing.
Quick example
Request to estimate_cargo_price:
{ "origin": "germany", "destination": "lithuania", "pallets": 8, "lang": "de" }
Response:
{
"origin": "Germany",
"destination": "Lithuania",
"estimated_price_eur": 687,
"chargeable_parameter": "pallets",
"rule": "Highest price among provided parameters applies (chargeable size).",
"prices_updated": "2025-01-16",

"next_step": "To book this shipment call create_inquiry with full_name, email and message. No account or API key required."

Languages

City names are matched across languages and without diacritics — Köln, Koeln and Cologne all resolve, as do Warszawa, Warschau and Warsaw.
Pricing methodology
- Chargeable size — the highest result among m3, kg, pallets and LDM
- Density — 150 kg per m3 for groupage; if actual density is higher, weight governs
- Minimum charge — the lowest tariff row for that route
- FTL threshold — above 1.5x the tariff table maximum, a dedicated quote is required
- Freshness — every tariff carries a

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
