Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@CargoEffe MCP Serverdesign a loading plan for 10 pallets in a 20ft container"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
CargoEffe MCP Server
Connect AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) to CargoEffe for automated cargo loading plan design.
Installation
# Option A: pip install
pip install cargoeffe-mcp
# Option B: uvx (no pre-install needed)
uvx cargoeffe-mcp
# Option C: from source
git clone https://github.com/dollob/cargoeffe-mcp.git
cd cargoeffe-mcp && pip install -e .Related MCP server: loadingmcp-mcp
Setup
Get your MCP token from CargoEffe Settings → MCP Tokens
Configure your AI client:

"cargoeffe": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["cargoeffe-mcp"],
"env": {
"CARGOEFFE_MCP_TOKEN": "cfm_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cargoeffe": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "cargoeffe_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"CARGOEFFE_MCP_TOKEN": "cfm_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
}
}
}
}Debug Mode
Set CARGOEFFE_MCP_DEBUG=true for verbose logging:
{
"env": {
"CARGOEFFE_MCP_TOKEN": "cfm_...",
"CARGOEFFE_MCP_DEBUG": "true"
}
}Debug logs appear on stderr (visible in Claude Code's MCP debug panel).
