What changed 6

Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 29 October 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.

30 Oct a tool changed the parameters it asks for2 times that day plan_load
29 Oct a tool description was rewritten2 times that day export_plan
29 Oct 2 tools changed the parameters they ask for export_plan, plan_load
and 2 more, back to 29 October 2026

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Container Loading every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

export
export_dg_paperwork
Draft the dangerous-goods paperwork for a load from its cargo lines: an IMDG 5.4.1 transport-document description per DG line (UN, proper shipping name, class, PG, marine pollutant), the 5.3 placards + marks required, and the 5.4.2 container/vehicle packing-certificate statements. Input is a "loadingmcp.packing-list" document. This is a DRAFT from the curated DGL — it lists the fields a DG-competent person must still complete (flash point, net explosive mass, unverified PSN) and is never signed.
export_plan
Export a load as a machine-readable LOADING WORK ORDER: a numbered stuffing sequence (which SKU, where, in what order and orientation), the securing/bracing action list, a securing shopping list per container (`securingBom`: straps, airbags, timber, bars, with quantities, specs and the work-order steps each goes to; recommendations to verify with the carrier), the key declarable figures (VGM, axle load, centre of gravity), and an optional per-retailer inbound-packaging check (Amazon FBA / Walmart). Feed it to a WES/TMS, a robotic palletiser, or a printable worker sheet. A real API key packs it with the production PackingSolver optimizer (the same plan plan_load returns for the same cargo); the public demo key uses the offline preview packer; `engine` in the result says which one ran. This is decision support to MEET published retailer/carrier specs — verify in your own portal; it is not a retailer certification.
equipment
list_equipment
List the standard container, truck, ULD and pallet types LoadingMCP can plan loads into, with internal dimensions (mm) and max payload (kg).
import
import_packing_list
ERP/TMS on-ramp: take a versioned "loadingmcp.packing-list" document (a WMS/ERP export — cargo lines + equipmentCode) and return a load plan + a container manifest. Parsing is fail-explicit: an invalid document returns the exact per-line issues, never a silently-dropped row. Pairs with plan_load's output for a full round-trip.
plan
plan_load
Compute a 3D load plan for cargo into a container or truck: containers used, utilization (volume & payload %), centre of gravity, crush-protection violations, and a securing checklist (round cargo that rolls, soft cargo that slumps). Cargo `type` drives realism — drums/pipes hex-nest, big bags/sacks load on top and are never crushed. Omit `equipmentCode` to auto right-size to the cheapest container that fits. A real API key runs the production PackingSolver optimizer; the public demo key uses the offline preview packer.
suggest
suggest_containers
Given total cargo volume (m³) and weight (kg), suggest how many of which container to use — a quick volume/weight estimate. For an exact, dimension-aware plan with utilization, CoG and securing, use plan_load (which can also auto right-size).

Container Loading — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Container Loading do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: export_dg_paperwork, export_plan, import_packing_list, list_equipment, plan_load, suggest_containers. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Container Loading working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 199 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Container Loading?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Container Loading need an API key?
No. Container Loading completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Container Loading?
It answers our handshake in 199 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Container Loading open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.loadingmcp.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
