pack
pack_boxes
Calculate how many identical boxes fit in a rectangular space, and where. The space is a shipping container, a pallet area, leftover container space, or a larger box. Give the box's L/W/H and EITHER a `container` preset OR the space's L/W/H (all in millimetres - container presets are mm). Boxes mix orientations across regions to pack densely; the plain maximum-load answer uses the exact SmartPacker T solver. Args: box_length: Box length. box_width: Box width. box_height: Box height. container: Container preset instead of explicit space dims (fills the internal usable L/W/H in mm; overrides space_* when recognised). ISO dry: 20GP 20HQ 40GP 40HQ 45GP 45HQ; NA domestic: 53HC 48HC; reefers: 20RF 40RF 40RH; EU pallet-wide: 40HQ-PW 45HQ-PW. Many aliases (20/40/45, 20ft, 40HC, 40', 40 reefer, ...). space_length: Space length (front-back). Use this OR `container`. space_width: Space width (left-right). space_height: Space height (up). count: How many boxes to load. 0 (default) loads the maximum. to_front: Anchor a partial load to the front (else the back). to_left: Anchor a partial load to the left (else the right). to_bottom: Anchor a partial load to the bottom (else the top). box_weight: Weight of one box (optional; same unit as max_weight). max_weight: Max total load weight (optional; 0 = no weight limit). include_image: Set true ONLY when the user wants to SEE or visualize the loading plan / 3D layout (e.g. "show the loading plan", "visualize it", "what does it look like?"). Default false is faster and lighter and still returns `image_url`, a shareable link to the 3D render. When true, the image is ALSO embedded inline (Claude Desktop and Cherry Studio display it; the claude.ai web app shows only the link either way). Returns the maximum that fits, how many were loaded, the fill rate, the region/block decomposition (each block's position, orientation, and grid), any weight limit applied, an `image_url` link to the rendered 3D loading plan, and - when include_image is true - the inline image too.
send
send_feedback
Send a question, suggestion, or bug report about this container-loading tool to the Zhihuo maintainers. Use this when the user wants to ask the tool's authors a question, suggest an improvement (e.g. another container type or output field), or report a result that looks wrong. The note reaches the Zhihuo team. Args: message: The question, suggestion, or bug report, in plain text. contact: Optional email or handle if the user would like a reply. category: Optional tag - "question", "suggestion", "bug", or "other". Returns a short confirmation string.

Zhihuo Container Loading — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Zhihuo Container Loading do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: pack_boxes, send_feedback. 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 Zhihuo Container Loading working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 720 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Zhihuo Container Loading?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Zhihuo Container Loading need an API key?
No. Zhihuo Container Loading completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Zhihuo Container Loading?
It answers our handshake in 720 ms on average, which is faster than 12% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
