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).
- In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
-
Paste the server URL:
https://cerebrochain.com/mcp. - 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.
- 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 what your account can see. Claude
asks for mcp, the scope that covers every tool; another
client can ask for only the scopes it needs (see
Scopes), and a tool whose scope
wasn't granted refuses to run, without charge.
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
36 tools. Nine can change your workspace — import_items, create_warehouse, create_order, update_order_status, adjust_stock, prepare_label, buy_credits, seed_demo_data, remove_demo_data
— and every other tool only reads:
- Shipping & logistics — compare parcel rates from UPS, USPS, FedEx and DHL Express, quick rate tables between two ZIP codes, shortest-path ordering for delivery stops.
- Your workspace — query inventory and warehouses, fleet status, vehicles, drivers, maintenance, routes, orders, pick and pack lists, and shipments.
- Market intelligence — port congestion (NOAA), global shipping lanes, forex rates (Federal Reserve H.10), energy prices (EIA) and economic indicators (Federal Reserve and EIA).
- Cerebrix AI — demand-forecast questions and supply-chain inference in natural language.
- Write actions — load your items from a spreadsheet (with on-hand counts), add a warehouse, create an order (it reserves its stock), move an order to its next status (canceling releases its stock, shipping consumes it), adjust stock with a recorded reason, prepare a shipping label, get a Stripe link to buy credits, and load or clear a clearly labeled demo warehouse. The connector tells the assistant to state each change and wait for your go-ahead. The assistant never buys a label: it prepares one, and you buy it in the console with one click.
What it costs
Connector calls are metered per call in prepaid credits (1 credit = $0.001), bought by card through Stripe. Reads cost $0.05 a call; analytics, AI and changes to your workspace cost $0.50; loading or clearing demo data costs a read. A label costs the carrier's price plus a $1.00 fee — both come out of your credits when the label is bought, and a label that isn't bought costs nothing. Every tool:
| Tool | Price per call |
|---|---|
query_inventory | $0.05 |
list_warehouses | $0.05 |
query_fleet | $0.05 |
list_orders | $0.05 |
get_order | $0.05 |
get_order_statistics | $0.05 |
get_pick_list | $0.05 |
list_shipments | $0.05 |
track_shipment | $0.05 |
get_kpi_status | $0.05 |
get_financial_metrics | $0.05 |
compare_shipping_rates | $0.05 |
get_freight_rates | $0.05 |
get_port_congestion | $0.05 |
get_shipping_lanes | $0.05 |
get_market_data | $0.05 |
seed_demo_data | $0.05 |

forecast_demand | $0.50 |

get_optimization_recommendations | $0.50 |
optimize_route | $0.50 |
cerebrix_inference | $0.50 |
create_order | $0.50 |
update_order_status | $0.50 |
adjust_stock | $0.50 |
create_warehouse | $0.50 |
import_items | $0.50 |
prepare_label | Free — you buy the label in the console: the carrier's price plus $1.00 |
buy_credits | Free |
get_usage_statement | Free |
get_platform_status | Free |
get_account_status | Free |
get_access_model | Free |
get_security_posture | Free |
get_document_capabilities | Free |
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 US ports look congested right now?" → a port-by-port congestion signal for 16 major ports — 8 in the US, read from NOAA water levels, and 8 international.
- "Put these five delivery stops in the shortest order — here are their coordinates." → the stops reordered into the shortest straight-line path through all five (no traffic, time windows or vehicle capacity).
How access works
- Nine tools can change things. They are listed under What the assistant can do; the connector tells the assistant to state each change and wait for your go-ahead. No tool spends money: a label the assistant prepares is bought only when you click Buy in the console. 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.
- A new workspace starts 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.
