Logistics Freight Intelligence MCP Server

What is Logistics Freight Intelligence?

Logistics Freight Intelligence is an MCP server that delivers real-time route disruption forecasting, trade sanctions screening, freight cost volatility analysis, and border delay prediction through 8 specialized tools. It is built for 3PLs, customs brokers, supply chain analysts, and freight forwarders who need structured risk data integrated directly into their AI workflows. The server orchestrates 9 authoritative data sources in parallel (NOAA, GDACS, OFAC, OpenSanctions, UN COMTRADE, Exchange Rates, BLS, World Bank, OECD) and synthesizes each query into a scored, labeled result without requiring subscriptions or API keys beyond an Apify token.

How to use Logistics Freight Intelligence?

Add the server URL https://logistics-freight-intelligence-mcp.apify.actor/mcp to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) and include your Apify API token as a Bearer header. Ask natural language questions such as “What is the route disruption risk for the Gulf Coast freight corridor?” – the assistant automatically selects the appropriate tool. To automate recurring checks, use Apify’s built-in scheduler and set webhooks for threshold alerts.
