- 02Look up status by state license number
- 03Review state coverage and CAPTCHA requirements
- 04Return extraction confidence and source evidence
Use cases
- 01Check a license before a distributor order

MCP support
The MCP server exposes license search, lookup, and state coverage tools, plus a compliance-check prompt. Its API requires an X-API-Key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx nexusfeed-mcpMCP_API_BASE_URLNexusFeed API base URLMCP_API_KEYSecretNexusFeed API key. Get one via RapidAPI: rapidapi.com/ladourv/api/abc-license-compliance-apiLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEnexusfeed-mcp
Real-time LTL freight fuel surcharge rates and US state ABC liquor license compliance records — served as normalized, verifiable JSON for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.
Data is extracted from carrier tariff pages and state ABC portals (JS-rendered, CAPTCHAs, session state) that are structurally inaccessible to raw LLM browsing. Every response includes a _verifiability block — extraction timestamp, confidence score, and source URL — so agents can assess data quality before acting.

Verifiability
Every tool response includes:

"extraction_confidence": 0.97,
"raw_data_evidence_url": "https://odfl.com/...",
"extraction_method": "api_mirror",
"data_freshness_ttl_seconds": 604800
}
extraction_confidence >= 0.90is required before using data in compliance-critical decisionssource_timestampwithindata_freshness_ttl_secondsmeans data is fresh from cacheraw_data_evidence_urlis the canonical source — agents can independently verify
Example Usage
Audit an LTL freight invoice:
Use the freight_audit_workflow prompt with carrier="ODFL", invoice_date="2026-04-01",
invoiced_fuel_surcharge_pct="23.5" to check whether the billed rate matches the
published tariff.
Verify a liquor license before a distributor transaction:
Use abc_search_licenses with state="CA" and trade_name="Total Wine" to check
current license status, then abc_lookup_license for the full record with suspension history.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| 401 on every call | MCP_API_KEY is not set or is invalid |
| "Could not reach API server" | MCP_API_BASE_URL not set — should be https://api.nexusfeed.dev |
| TX endpoints return 503 | TX TABC requires 2Captcha configured server-side; use CA, NY, or FL instead |
extraction_confidence < 0.90 | Data quality degraded — verify independently via raw_data_evidence_url |

Comments
New to MCP?
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.
