What it does
This server solves container and truck load planning by taking plain-English descriptions of shipments and returning which containers the cargo fits in, how full each is, and a link to a 3D visualization. It is for logistics applications, freight planners, and AI assistants that need to answer questions about whether cargo fits into specific container types.
- Determine whether 500 cartons fit in a 40-foot container, accounting for stacking rules, orientation, and weight limits.
- Plan a mixed shipment of pallets and boxes across multiple container types and get an optimal container mix.
- Generate an interactive 3D load plan showing exactly how items are arranged inside containers, including empty gaps.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
