ShippingRates is an MCP server with 26 tools an agent can call, among them shippingrates_cfs_tariffs, shippingrates_congestion, shippingrates_congestion_news. It answers at https://mcp.shippingrates.org/mcp/ over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.
Ocean shipping intelligence: D&D, freight rates, vessel schedules, port data. 24 tools, 6 carriers.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
shippingrates_cfs_tariffs | Get Container Freight Station (CFS) handling tariffs — charges for LCL (Less than Container Load) cargo consolidation and deconsolidation at port warehouses. Use this for LCL shipments to estimate warehouse handling costs. Returns per-unit Inputs: port, service, cargo_type, x_payment |
shippingrates_congestion | Get certified port-authority congestion measurements for a specific port. Only fields explicitly published by the authority are populated; unavailable measurements remain null and an unpublished severity remains "unknown". The current certi Inputs: port, days_back, x_payment |
shippingrates_congestion_news | Get certified shipping-disruption publications from reviewed official port-authority sources. The current publisher denominator is the official Port of Rotterdam and Port of Los Angeles news series. Every article in each finite collection w Inputs: port, severity, days_back, limit, x_payment |
shippingrates_dd_calculate | Calculate demurrage and detention (D&D) costs for one carrier in one country. Use this when the user needs a detailed cost breakdown for a specific carrier. Returns free days, per-diem rates for each tariff slab, and total cost. This is the Inputs: line, country, container_type, days, direction, charge_type |
shippingrates_dd_compare | Compare demurrage and detention costs across ALL available carriers for the same country, container type, and detention days. Use this for freight procurement and carrier selection — it answers "which carrier has the cheapest D&D in this co Inputs: country, container_type, days, x_payment |
shippingrates_dd_countdown | Given a container's carrier, country, container type and ARRIVAL DATE, report how many free days remain, the first chargeable day, the per-diem once charging starts, cost accrued so far, and a forward cost projection. Use this to answer "ho Inputs: line, country, container_type, direction, arrival_date, port |
shippingrates_facilities | Search India's current official ICEGATE Inland Container Depot (ICD) and Container Freight Station (CFS) directory by source-published facility code, name, and type. Use this to resolve an official ICEGATE ICD/CFS code or facility name. Opt Inputs: type, state, code, rail_connected, x_payment |

shippingrates_inland_compare | Compare inland haulage rates across ALL available carriers for a port-to-ICD/city pair — sorted cheapest first. Use this for carrier selection on inland legs — answers "which carrier offers the cheapest trucking/rail from port X to city Y?" Inputs: origin, destination, container_type, weight_bracket, delivery_mode, icd_code |
shippingrates_inland_haulage | Get inland haulage (trucking/rail) rates for moving containers between a port and an inland location. Use this when you know the specific origin port and destination and need rate quotes. Returns route-specific rates by container type inclu Inputs: origin, destination, container_type, mode, delivery_mode, icd_code |
shippingrates_inland_search | Search for available inland transport routes (road/rail haulage) from port to inland destinations for a specific carrier. Use this to discover what haulage routes a carrier offers in a country. For example, search "ahmedabad" to find routes Inputs: line, country, keyword, delivery_mode, icd_code, x_payment |
shippingrates_lines | List reviewed shipping-line identities that currently have live D&D coverage, with per-country record counts. Use this to discover which carrier-country D&D combinations are currently available before querying a tariff tool. FREE — no payme |
shippingrates_local_charges | Get local charges at a port for a specific carrier — Terminal Handling Charges (THC), documentation fees (BL/DO), seal fees, and other port-specific charges. Use this when calculating total shipping costs at origin or destination. Combine w Inputs: line, country, port_code, x_payment |
shippingrates_port | Look up port details by UN/LOCODE — name, country, coordinates, timezone, and terminal facilities. Use this to validate port codes or get port metadata. If you don't know the UN/LOCODE, use shippingrates_search with the port or city name fi Inputs: code, x_payment |
shippingrates_rates | Get current certified freight benchmark observations between two ports, optionally filtered by container type. These are official published market indices, not carrier spot quotes or contracted rates. An unsupported lane returns an empty ra Inputs: origin, destination, container_type, x_payment |
shippingrates_regulatory | Get recent shipping regulatory updates and compliance requirements for a specific country — customs regulations, documentation requirements, trade restrictions, and policy changes. Use this to stay current on regulatory changes that may aff Inputs: country, limit, x_payment |
shippingrates_reliability | Get the latest certified public schedule-reliability highlights for a carrier. Use this for carrier selection and high-level benchmarking. Only metrics explicitly published in the source highlight are returned; unpublished carrier delay or Inputs: line, trade_lane, x_payment |
shippingrates_risk_score | Get a deterministic route-risk score (0-100) from current certified port-congestion measurements and explicit official disruption advisories. Unknown inputs contribute zero points. A route is scored only when at least one current, source-pu Inputs: origin, destination, x_payment |
shippingrates_search | Search current customer-published ShippingRates datasets by keyword. Matches certified port codes/names, reviewed carrier identities, published transit services, and published local-charge names/carriers. Uncertified families remain empty a Inputs: keyword |
shippingrates_stats | Get current counts from ShippingRates customer-published datasets. Use this before calling data tools. Counts include only certified dependencies that are currently publishable; uncertified or unavailable families report zero instead of fal |
shippingrates_surcharges | Get carrier-specific surcharges — BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor), CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor), PSS (Peak Season Surcharge), EBS (Emergency Bunker Surcharge), and more. Use this to understand surcharge exposure for a carrier in a specif Inputs: line, country, direction, x_payment |
shippingrates_total_cost | Calculate a published multi-component shipping-cost estimate from certified dependencies: freight benchmark observations when available, surcharges, origin/destination local charges, requested demurrage/detention exposure, FX, and transit c Inputs: line, origin, destination, container_type, detention_days, x_payment |
shippingrates_transit | Get estimated ocean transit times between two ports across all available carriers. Use this for quick transit time comparison between ports — answers "how long does it take to ship from A to B?" Returns carrier-specific transit durations, s Inputs: origin, destination, x_payment |
shippingrates_transit_schedules | Get detailed transit schedules for a specific carrier — service codes, routing via transhipment ports, transit days, and sailing frequency. Use this when you need routing details beyond just transit time — e.g., which transhipment ports are Inputs: carrier, origin, destination, max_days, x_payment |
shippingrates_vessel_schedule | Get upcoming vessel arrivals and departures at a specific port. Use this to check what vessels are expected at a port — useful for booking planning and tracking.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://mcp.shippingrates.org/mcp/. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
