Fr8Labs MCP server · Live

Connect ChatGPT and Claude
to your freight system

Fr8Labs runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so the AI assistant your team already uses can read your freight data and prepare real work — jobs, quotes, invoices — under your own login, with a person confirming every change.

Remote MCP OAuth sign-in Company-scoped Human-confirmed writes

One of the first freight forwarding systems with its own MCP server.

What your AI can do in Fr8Labs

Each connector is switched on per person by your company admin.

Fr8Labs Analytics

Live

Ask anything. Build dashboards.

  • Ask questions about your freight and finance data in plain English
  • Build and edit dashboards, and schedule reports to your inbox
  • Financial views (P&L, ageing, invoices) for people your admin grants finance access

One click from the ChatGPT app directory. Custom connector in Claude.

Fr8Labs Actions

Live

Do the freight work.

  • Create jobs — including straight from a bill of lading
  • Build quotes, raise invoices and reconcile vendor costs
  • Update tasks and shipment status across jobs

Every change is proposed first and saved only after you confirm it in the conversation.

Fr8Labs Notifications

Live

Alerts and statements, set up by asking.

  • Draft alerts from your data, then preview and test them before they go live
  • Pause, resume or retire alerts in a sentence
  • Set up statement-of-account emails for your customers

For teammates your admin gives Notifications access.

Fr8Labs Accounting

Early access

Journals, invoices and payments — with a finance sign-off.

  • Non-job journals, sales and purchase invoices, and payments
  • Only for people your company appoints for finance
  • Every posting is a dry run you confirm; closed periods stay locked

Ask us to switch it on for your finance team.

The AI proposes. You confirm. Fr8Labs saves.

  1. 1

    Ask

    “Create an export job from this BL and add the charges from our rate card.”

  2. 2

    Review

    The assistant shows exactly what it will save — parties, routing, containers, charges.

  3. 3

    Confirm

    You say yes. The job is saved in Fr8Labs under your own user — not a shared bot account.

Your permissions. Your company. Your call.

Your own login

People sign in with their Fr8Labs account. The assistant never sees a password, and it can only do what that person can do.

Your company only

The company is set on our server from the login — never by the AI. No connector can reach another company’s data.

Admin-controlled access

Your admin switches each connector on per person. Finance data and accounting need their own grants.

Clean offboarding

When a user is deactivated, their AI connections are revoked with it.

Connected in three steps

  1. Get access. Your company admin switches on the connectors you need in Team Access.
  2. Add Fr8Labs to your assistant. In ChatGPT, search the app directory for “Fr8Labs Analytics”. For the other connectors, we send your team the connector details.
  3. Sign in and ask. Log in with your Fr8Labs account, then ask your first question.

Common questions

Does Fr8Labs have an MCP server?

Yes. Fr8Labs runs a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude can work directly in your freight system. Three connectors are live for customers — Analytics, Actions and Notifications — and Accounting is in early access.

Which AI assistants can connect to Fr8Labs?

ChatGPT and Claude connect with OAuth — you sign in with your own Fr8Labs login. Fr8Labs Analytics is listed in the ChatGPT app directory; the other connectors are added as custom connectors. Developer tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect with an API token issued by Fr8Labs.

Can the AI change my freight data without asking?

No. When an assistant creates a job, quote or invoice, it first shows you exactly what it will save, and nothing is written until you confirm. Accounting postings run as a dry run first, and closed accounting periods stay locked.

Who at my company can connect an AI assistant?

Your company admin decides, person by person, in Team Access. Financial data and accounting need their own grants on top of that. When someone leaves and their account is deactivated, their connections are revoked.

Can the AI see other companies’ data?

No. Your company is set on our server from your login — never by the AI — and every connector only reaches what your own Fr8Labs permissions allow.

How is the MCP server different from the Fr8Labs Open API?

The Open API connects systems: developers build integrations between your software and ours. The MCP server connects AI assistants: a person works through ChatGPT or Claude, and the assistant uses Fr8Labs on their behalf, under their login. Most forwarders use both.
