Overview

AI-generated overview

Estimates Canada–US cross-border costs — duties, tariffs, taxes and fees for parcels and freight — and reports which border rules are in force.

What you can do
  • Estimate door-to-door cost for a single parcel between Canada and the US, including duty, tariffs, surtaxes, sales tax and carrier fees, with a suggested tariff code from a plain product description.
  • Quote duties, taxes and fees for goods entering Canada or the US by parcel or freight (truck, rail, air, ocean), flag banned items, and show who pays under the Incoterm.
  • Check which Canada and US border rules are currently in force, with rates, start dates and whether each list was verified against official text.
  • See what shoppers and sellers actually paid and how long parcels took on a route, based on real reports where enough exist.
When to use it
Useful when deciding whether to buy from or ship across the Canada–US border and you want a cost estimate before committing, or when you need a quick read on current tariff measures and real-world route outcomes.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at app.othermile.com; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared.
Before you install
Estimates are informational and may not match the final amount charged; verify against official rules before relying on them for a purchase or shipment. Route insights are only shown when enough reports exist, so coverage may be thin.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Othermile border costs 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/io.github.NagiUnlimited%2Fothermile/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
