CerebroChain

MCP Connector

Use CerebroChain from Claude and other AI assistants.

CerebroChain ships a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so AI assistants can compare shipping rates, query your inventory and fleet, run demand forecasts, and read live supply-chain market data — in plain language, with your permission.

Setup

The server lives at https://cerebrochain.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP transport).

  1. In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Paste the server URL: https://cerebrochain.com/mcp.
  3. Claude opens the CerebroChain authorization page. Sign in with your CerebroChain account — email and password, or Google sign-in (the same account you use at app.cerebrochain.com) — and click Approve.
  4. That's it — ask Claude something from the examples below. No CerebroChain account yet? Start a 7-day free trial (no credit card).

Listed on the open MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), Smithery and Glama.

How authorization works

The connector uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration — the standard MCP authorization flow. Your password is only ever entered on cerebrochain.com; the assistant receives a scoped, revocable token, never your credentials. Tokens map to your workspace, so the assistant sees exactly what your account can see, under one scope (mcp).

Building your own agent instead? Machine-to-machine callers can alternatively send a tenant API key in the X-API-Key header. Discovery metadata is published at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.

What the assistant can do

31 tools. Most are read-only; four can change your workspace:

  • Shipping & logistics — compare parcel rates from UPS, USPS, FedEx and DHL Express, quick rate tables between two ZIP codes, AI route optimization.
  • Your workspace — query inventory, fleet status, vehicles, drivers, maintenance, routes, orders and shipments.
  • Market intelligence — port congestion (NOAA), global shipping lanes, forex, commodity prices, FRED economic indicators.
  • Cerebrix AI — demand-forecast questions and supply-chain inference in natural language.
  • Write actions — create an order, adjust stock, book a shipment, and buy API credits. The assistant states what it intends to do and waits for your go-ahead first. Booking a shipment buys a real carrier label and costs real money.

What it costs

Connector calls are metered per call in prepaid credits (1 credit = $0.001), bought by card through Stripe. Four price bands, set by cost to serve:

  • Read — $0.05 per call. Inventory, orders, fleet, shipments, KPIs, shipping rates, port congestion, shipping lanes and market data.
  • AI — $0.50 per call. Cerebrix inference, demand forecasts, bottleneck detection, optimization recommendations and route optimization.
  • Write — $0.50 per call. Create an order, adjust stock.
  • Label — $1.00 per booked shipment, on top of the carrier's own label price.

Every new connector wallet opens with a free 1,000-credit ($1) grant. Platform status, account status, the introspection tools, buy_credits and your own usage statement are never billed.

The six market tools — shipping-rate comparison, freight rates, port congestion, shipping lanes, market data and route optimization — are pay-as-you-go: they work on any account that holds prepaid credits, plan or no plan. Workspace tools (inventory, orders, fleet, shipments, analytics, Cerebrix AI) and every write draw the same credits and also need an active plan or the 7-day free trial.

Example prompts

Try these once connected:

  • "Compare shipping rates for a 12 lb package from 89501 to 30301." → a carrier-by-carrier rate table with the cheapest and fastest options highlighted.
  • "What's my current inventory looking like? Anything low or out of stock?" → a live read of your workspace inventory with stock-status filters applied.
  • "Which major ports are congested right now, and how should that change my inbound planning?" → current port congestion readings plus the assistant's analysis against your lanes.
  • "Optimize a delivery route for these five stops, tightest time-windows first." → an ordered route with ETAs from the route-optimization engine.

Limitations

  • Writes are confirmed, never silent. Four tools can change things — create order, adjust stock, book shipment, buy credits. Each states the intended change and waits for your approval. Booking a shipment purchases a real carrier label and charges real money, so treat that one like a checkout. Everything else is read-only.
  • Your account's scope. Results are limited to the workspace the signed-in account belongs to.
  • Workspace tools need an active plan or trial. Inventory, orders, fleet, shipments, analytics, Cerebrix AI and every write need a live subscription or an unexpired trial; without one they return a payment-required response with the upgrade link rather than data. The six market tools only need prepaid credits (see What it costs). Platform status, account status and the introspection tools are always open.
  • Rate limits apply. Bursty automated traffic gets throttled; sustained high-volume API use belongs on the developer API instead.
  • Fresh workspaces look empty. Inventory and fleet tools return real (possibly empty) data until you've onboarded records — market-data and rate tools work from the first minute of your trial. Ask the assistant to seed a clearly labeled demo warehouse if you'd rather see it populated first.
  • Access tokens expire after 1 hour and refresh automatically; reconnect from the assistant's connector settings if a session is revoked.
