Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that gives an assistant US freight carrier intelligence from public FMCSA data: new-authority lead feeds, carrier lookups, safety screens, U

What you can do
Pull feeds of newly authorized US trucking carriers, including new entrants and carriers with no factor lien yet, with contact and fleet details and factoring verdicts. Search that new-authority set by state, fleet size, since-date, email availability, for-hire status, financeable verdict and insurance. Look up one carrier's full safety and contact profile by USDOT number. Screen a carrier's risk for underwriting or vetting, with out-of-service rate, inspection history, FMCSA rating and flags. Detect likely reincarnations of deactivated carriers by shared phone or address. Re-grade a list of USDOT or MC/docket numbers against the live record.
When to use it
Useful for trucking insurance agents, factoring companies, brokers and vendors who want lead lists of newly authorized carriers or quick risk triage on a carrier before onboarding, vetting or underwriting.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package install, environment variables or headers are declared. The manifest declares no authentication. Network access to the provider's endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The manifest declares no authentication, so anyone who can reach the endpoint may query it. Results are triage signals from public FMCSA data, not guarantees, and the server itself notes the risk verdict is not a guarantee. Carrier rows include contact details such as email and phone; handle them according to applicable rules.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Freight Intel in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.dropwatchhq%2Ffreight-intel/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

new_authority_feed

Return US trucking carriers newly granted FMCSA operating authority, newest first. The broker/factoring lead signal: each carrier just became able to legally haul. Pre-qualified for factoring: each carrier carries financeable (GO/WAIT/NO/UNKNOWN), forHire (has broker/shipper receivables to factor), authorityStatus (Active/Pending), insuranceStatus + insurer (BIPD on file), and owner/principal name — derived from the FMCSA census + L&I authority/insurance datasets. Filter by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable verdict, and insured.

ParameterslimitsincestateforHireinsuredhasEmailfinanceablemaxPowerUnitsminPowerUnits

carrier_lookup

Full safety + contact profile for one carrier by USDOT number: identity, fleet, authority status, roadside safety record, FMCSA rating, email/phone.

Parametersdotrequired

search_carriers

Search the new-authority carrier set by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable verdict (GO/WAIT/NO), and insured. Returns pre-qualified, lead-ready carrier rows. For an arbitrary DOT use carrier_lookup.

ParameterslimitsincestateforHireinsuredhasEmailfinanceablemaxPowerUnitsminPowerUnits

safety_screen

Risk verdict for a carrier by USDOT number for insurance underwriting / shipper vetting: out-of-service rate vs national average, inspection history, FMCSA rating, authority status, flags. A transparent triage signal from public FMCSA data, not a guarantee.

Parametersdotrequired

new_carriers

Newly-authorized US motor carriers (FMCSA new entrants), newest first — the new-carrier LEADS feed for trucking insurance agents, factoring companies, and ELD/fuel-card/equipment vendors selling to new carriers. Each row: USDOT, legal/DBA name, address, phone, EMAIL (where on file), fleet size, authority type/status, plus factoring pre-qualification (forHire, financeable, authority/insurance status) and the safety layer (out-of-service rate / inspection history where the carrier already has a roadside record; honest-null with a 'no inspection history yet' flag for true new entrants). Alias of new_authority_feed. Filter by state, fleet size, since-date, has-email, forHire, financeable, insured. Leads from public FMCSA census — verify before outreach; respect DNC / CAN-SPAM.

ParameterslimitsincestateforHireinsuredhasEmailfinanceablemaxPowerUnitsminPowerUnits

carrier_risk_lookup

Risk-screen one carrier by USDOT number for insurance underwriting / factoring vetting: out-of-service rate vs national average, inspection history, FMCSA rating, authority + insurance status, flags. Honest-null with a 'no roadside inspection history' flag for brand-new carriers. Alias of safety_screen. A transparent triage signal from public FMCSA data, not a guarantee — verify against SAFER for underwriting decisions.

Parametersdotrequired

switch_signal

The real-time factor-SWITCH lead feed — the edge RigDig's static annual UCC buckets cannot show. PRIMARY = VIRGIN: a fresh authority with NO factor UCC-1 lien on record yet — the populated everyday flow, first factor to call wins (no factor yet — live). SECONDARY = TERMINATED: a UCC-3 termination just hit the carrier's factor lien (carrier now factor-free — highest-value lead). UCC-3 terminations are genuinely RARE — surfaced when they occur; an empty terminated list is honest, not a dead feed. Omit type to get the default (leads with `primary`=virgin, carries `secondary`=terminated). UCC coverage is partial and marked HONESTLY per state (uccCoverage); a carrier in a non-covered state is never labelled 'virgin'. Filter by type and state.

Parameterstypelimitstate

chameleon_check

Chameleon / reincarnation entity-resolution: new authorities that share a phone or physical address with a recently-DEACTIVATED carrier (a likely reincarnation of an outfit that lost authority). Filing-agent / registration-service clusters are down-weighted. Returns a 0-100 score + match basis. A review signal, not proof of fraud.

ParameterslimitstateminScore

regrade_list

Re-grade a list of carriers (USDOT numbers and/or MC/docket numbers) against the live FMCSA/L&I record plus our switch-signal and chameleon layers. Each carrier returns a triage verdict and flags: already-factored, authority-revoked, insurance-lapsed, chameleon, virgin (no factor yet), or switch-lead (just terminated its factor). The 'wow' demo for factoring companies vetting their own lead list.
