Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant research US, Canadian, and UK moving costs, reviewed movers, licence records, and guides, and file a quote request.

What it does
Haulest exposes read-only tools for moving research: estimate_moving_cost returns a low-to-high cost band from home size and distance; get_route_facts returns driving miles and hours plus route cost ranges; find_movers and get_mover_profile return reviewed companies with ratings, review counts, USDOT numbers, and profile links; check_mover_licence looks up FMCSA census records by USDOT, MC, or legal name in the US and Companies House in the UK; search_moving_guides and get_moving_checklist return guides and checklists. One write tool, request_moving_quotes, files a quote request so licensed movers contact the user with written estimates. Answers come as plain text plus a structured object…
When to use it
Use it when someone is planning a move and wants cost ranges, vetted mover options, licence verification before paying a deposit, or moving guides and checklists. It is aimed at consumer moves in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at haulest.com/mcp; no authentication, API keys, or environment variables are declared. Clients that cannot speak Streamable HTTP can use the haulest-mcp npm bridge or mcp-remote, which need Node.js. Network access is required.
Before you install
request_moving_quotes is a write action that sends the user's contact details to licensed movers so they call and email; it requires consent: true and is rate-limited. Cost ranges are planning estimates, not bids, and Haulest is not a carrier, so a quote conversation is not a booking. Calls are logged with tool name, time, outcome, client product, and a salted short hash of the network address for 90 days; arguments are not logged.

Haulest is a consumer moving research and quote site for the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, run by Panaweb LLC. This server gives any Model Context Protocol client the same research the website publishes: cost ranges, reviewed movers, official licence records, guides, checklists, and a way to request written quotes from licensed movers.

Haulest is not a carrier. It does not operate trucks, a cost range is a planning number and not a bid, and a quote conversation is not a booking.

  • "What would it cost to move a 2-bedroom from Austin to Denver, and who are the best-reviewed movers in Austin?"
  • "Check USDOT 3391195 before I pay a deposit."
  • "Give me the 8-week moving checklist and the guide on binding versus non-binding estimates."
  • "Are there reviewed removal companies in Manchester, and how do I check one at Companies House?"
  • "I have a quote from a low-rated mover. What should I ask them, and can you get me two more written quotes?"

find_moversMovers with dated, attributed reviews in a city, state, province, or country: average rating, review count, newest review, USDOT, profile URLread-only
get_mover_profileOne company in depth: rating, three newest reviews, USDOT and MC with the live FMCSA authority and insurance summary, public phone, what reviewers paid, questions to askread-only, open-world
check_mover_licenceFMCSA census by USDOT, MC, or legal name (US); Companies House by name or number (UK); provincial guidance (Canada); always with the official record URLread-only, open-world

Every tool carries a title and explicit readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint values. Each answer is plain text for the model plus a structured object with the same facts and the haulest.com URL it came from. The server also exposes a plan_my_move prompt and two resources (the full cost dataset as JSON, and an About text).

Exact schemas as served: docs/tools.json. Refresh with node scripts/snapshot-tools.mjs.

Where the answers come from

  • Cost ranges are research planning ranges compiled in September 2026 from published industry tables and public quotes, labelled as such on every answer. Method: https://haulest.com/methodology.
  • Ratings are the mean of real, dated reviews on record. Haulest does not invent totals and does not rank companies by payment.
  • Licence facts come from the FMCSA census and the live QCMobile authority feed, or Companies House, with the official URL to confirm on.

What is in this repository

The server runs inside the haulest.com application, because it reads the same review corpus and official records the website does. This repository holds the public interface:

PathPurpose
bridge/The haulest-mcp npm package: a stdio bridge to the endpoint for clients that cannot speak Streamable HTTP
server.jsonEntry for the official MCP Registry (com.haulest/haulest)
openai-plugin/ChatGPT plugin package (plugin.json, mcp.json, icons), review test cases, and the submission walkthrough

Fair use, privacy, security

Anonymous callers have per-minute and per-day limits per network address; a 429 carries Retry-After. Quote requests are limited per hour and capped per day, and a repeat from the same phone or email within a day returns the existing reference. Partner keys with higher limits: [email protected].

Each call is logged with the tool name, time, outcome, client product, and a salted short hash of the network address for 90 days. Arguments are not logged, and nothing the server returns contains tokens, session identifiers, or other people's contact details. Full text: privacy policy, terms, SECURITY.md.

Issues and contact
