Quickstart

Two minutes, no API key. You paste one URL into your assistant, sign in to Freight Right once, and approve what it may do.

The connector URL

Development Live now 
https://dev-mcp.sm.freightright.com/mcp

Sign in with a development Shipment Manager account. This is the URL used throughout these pages, because it is the one that works today.

Production Not live yet 
https://mcp.freightright.com/mcp

Reserved for the production connector. It does not answer yet — pasting it into an assistant today will fail.

Connect in four steps

  1. Add the connector Paste the development URL into your assistant's connector settings — the exact place is below, one tab per client. 
    https://dev-mcp.sm.freightright.com/mcp
  2. Sign in to Freight Right Your browser opens Freight Right. Sign in with your usual Shipment Manager login — the assistant never sees your password, and there is nothing to paste back.
  3. Approve what it may do You get one list, in plain words, of everything the assistant will be able to do. Approve it and you are connected. What each line means.
  4. Ask something Start a new chat. Your assistant shows you when it uses Freight Right.

Where that setting lives

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL → Add → Connect. Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile — they share one list. Full walkthrough: Claude.

Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode → Create → paste the URL, authentication OAuth → Connect. Full walkthrough: ChatGPT.

claude mcp add --transport http freight-right https://dev-mcp.sm.freightright.com/mcp

Then /mcp inside Claude Code → Authenticate.

The exact JSON and TOML for each: developer tools.

Things to try first

  • Where is HBL 12753912?
  • Which of my shipments arrive in the next seven days?
  • Price 2 × 40HC Shanghai → Los Angeles, port to port, I'm importing.
  • Ask Freight Right to quote a full truckload Los Angeles → Monterrey, dry van, 42,000 lb.

A price check asks carriers live

It can take up to a minute. Clients that let you set a tool timeout should allow at least 60 seconds; if yours gives up sooner, the connector hands back a pricing_id and the assistant collects the offers with a second, instant call. Nothing is wasted. See limits.

Disconnect whenever you like

Freight Right → Profile → Connected assistants → Disconnect. The assistant loses access immediately, everywhere.
