Description

fmcsa_carrier_lookup

Look up a US motor carrier (trucking/bus company) in the FMCSA census by USDOT number, MC/docket number, or company name. Keyless. Returns legal & DBA name, physical address, active/inactive status, interstate/intrastate operation, hazmat flag, fleet size (power units, trucks), driver counts, and cargo types carried. Set by to "dot", "mc", or "name" with the value in value. For carrier authority (broker status) use fmcsa_operating_authority; for safety scores use fmcsa_safety_snapshot.

fmcsa_search_carriers

Search US motor carriers by company name (partial, case-insensitive) in the FMCSA census, ranked by fleet size. Keyless. Returns USDOT number, legal/DBA name, city/state, power units, drivers, and status. Optionally filter by 2-letter state. Use fmcsa_carrier_lookup for full detail on a returned USDOT number.

fmcsa_operating_authority

Get a carrier's FMCSA operating authority by USDOT number: the MC docket number and the status of its common-carrier, contract-carrier, and broker authority (Active / Inactive / Pending / Revoked). Keyless. Answers "is this carrier authorized to operate / broker freight" — the legal authority to haul, complementing the census (fmcsa_carrier_lookup) and safety (fmcsa_safety_snapshot).

fmcsa_safety_snapshot

Get the FMCSA safety profile for a carrier by USDOT number: safety rating, out-of-service status, driver/vehicle inspection & OOS rates, crash counts, and SMS BASIC categories (Unsafe Driving, HOS, Vehicle Maintenance, ...) with violation counts and percentiles. Requires an FMCSA webKey (free at mobile.fmcsa.dot.gov/QCDevsite/docs/apiAccess) — the gateway supplies a platform key, or pass your own via _apiKey.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fmcsa": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fmcsa/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Fmcsa data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
