Claude¶
Claude on the web, the desktop apps and mobile share one Connectors list: set it up once and it is there everywhere you use Claude.
- Open Settings → Connectors In Claude, open your profile menu → Settings, then Connectors.
-
Add a custom connector
Choose Add custom connector and paste the connector URL:
Leave everything else as it is — there is no key, secret or scope to fill in.
https://dev-mcp.sm.freightright.com/mcp - Connect and sign in Click Add, then Connect. Your browser opens Freight Right: sign in with your Shipment Manager login and approve the list you are shown.
- Ask Claude about your freight Start a new chat. Claude shows a plug icon when it uses the connector, and tells you which tool it called.
Permissions¶
Claude asks you before a tool that changes something runs, and you can set each tool to Always allow, Needs approval or Blocked in the connector's settings. Two things are worth knowing:
- Freight Right's read tools change nothing. Price checks call carriers live and use part of your monthly allowance, so they are worth leaving on Needs approval if you want to watch them.
- A booking can never be sent by Claude, whatever you set: it can only prepare one and give you a link. Why that is true.
If Claude says it needs more permissions¶
That happens when you connected before a capability existed. Settings → Connectors → Freight Right → Reconnect, and approve the updated list. Nothing is ever added to an existing connection silently.
Endpoints¶

Sign in with a development Shipment Manager account. This is the URL used throughout these pages, because it is the one that works today.
https://mcp.freightright.com/mcp
Reserved for the production connector. It does not answer yet — pasting it into an assistant today will fail.
