Nexusfeed Ltl

PyPI version Python 3.12+ License: MIT

Real-time LTL freight fuel surcharge rates and US state ABC liquor license compliance records — served as normalized, verifiable JSON for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.

Data is extracted from carrier tariff pages and state ABC portals (JS-rendered, CAPTCHAs, session state) that are structurally inaccessible to raw LLM browsing. Every response includes a _verifiability block — extraction timestamp, confidence score, and source URL — so agents can assess data quality before acting.

Tools

ltl_get_fuel_surcharge	Weekly fuel surcharge % for ODFL, Saia, Estes, ABF, R+L, TForce, XPO, SEFL, Averitt — DOE diesel price and up to 5 years of history
ltl_list_carriers	Carrier coverage metadata (SCAC codes, update schedule, extraction method)
abc_search_licenses	Search CA, TX, NY, FL license databases by trade name, owner, or address
abc_lookup_license	Point-in-time license status by state-issued license number
abc_list_states	State coverage, latency, and CAPTCHA requirements

Workflow Prompts

Prompt	Description
freight_audit_workflow	Multi-step LTL invoice audit against published carrier tariffs
license_compliance_check	Compliance verification before distributor orders, insurance binding, or merchant onboarding

LTL only:

Streamable HTTP (Smithery / remote clients)

Server	URL
LTL tools	https://api.nexusfeed.dev/mcp-ltl/
ABC tools	https://api.nexusfeed.dev/mcp-abc/

Pass your X-API-Key header on every request. Server metadata (no auth):

Verifiability

Every tool response includes:

"_verifiability": {
  "source_timestamp": "2026-04-05T09:00:00Z",
  "extraction_confidence": 0.97,
  "raw_data_evidence_url": "https://odfl.com/...",
  "extraction_method": "api_mirror",
  "data_freshness_ttl_seconds": 604800
}

• extraction_confidence >= 0.90 is required before using data in compliance-critical decisions
• source_timestamp within data_freshness_ttl_seconds means data is fresh from cache
• raw_data_evidence_url is the canonical source — agents can independently verify

Example Usage

Audit an LTL freight invoice:

Use the freight_audit_workflow prompt with carrier="ODFL", invoice_date="2026-04-01",
invoiced_fuel_surcharge_pct="23.5" to check whether the billed rate matches the
published tariff.

Verify a liquor license before a distributor transaction:

Use abc_search_licenses with state="CA" and trade_name="Total Wine" to check
current license status, then abc_lookup_license for the full record with suspension history.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
401 on every call	MCP_API_KEY is not set or is invalid
"Could not reach API server"	MCP_API_BASE_URL not set — should be https://api.nexusfeed.dev
TX endpoints return 503	TX TABC requires 2Captcha configured server-side; use CA, NY, or FL instead
extraction_confidence < 0.90	Data quality degraded — verify independently via raw_data_evidence_url
