Common questions

Is Freightgate MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.1.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.

What can I use instead?

Payment

ShippingRates uses the x402 protocol — the internet's native payment standard for AI agents.

Currency: USDC (stablecoin, always $1.00)
Networks: Base Mainnet (EVM) + Solana Mainnet
Facilitator: PayAI — free, no API key needed
Settlement: Instant (~200ms)
No API keys, no accounts, no subscriptions

Your agent sends a request → gets HTTP 402 with payment terms → signs USDC payment → retries with proof → gets data. All handled automatically by x402 client libraries.

Supported x402 Client Libraries

TypeScript: @x402/fetch or @x402/axios
Python: x402 package (httpx / requests)
Go: x402 Go module
