Details

From the project README

Freightview MCP by usefulapi

Use your Freightview account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Rate, book, track and cancel LTL, parcel and truckload shipments, and read account carriers and locations. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://freightview.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://freightview.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http freightview https://freightview.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "freightview": {
      "url": "https://freightview.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Freightview credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/freightview/

On first connect you provide a Freightview client ID and a Freightview client secret (Freightview → User settings → API Integration). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.

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.
