Terminal49 MCP

Track containers in Claude and ChatGPT

Ask questions about ocean shipments using the Terminal49 data already available to your account. Connect either client to the public Terminal49 MCP server.

What it does

The connector turns shipment questions into calls to 10 public Terminal49 tools. It reads account data and starts tracking only when you ask it to.

  • Live tracking Q&A

    Find a container, open its current Terminal49 record and ask follow-up questions in the same conversation.

  • Demurrage and LFD checks

    Check last free day, pickup availability and holds before a container starts accruing demurrage.

  • Delay analysis

    Review carrier milestones and route legs to understand where a shipment changed or stalled.

  • Fleet views

    List the shipments, containers and tracking requests available in your Terminal49 account.
