FleetCollect API & AI Agents

The FleetCollect API is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and ask an AI agent about your fleet in plain language — your IFTA trips and quarterly totals, DQF compliance and expiring documents, dispatch loads, drug-testing status — and vet any motor carrier by USDOT or MC number using live FMCSA data. It is read-only and secured by a per-account API key.

Included with your subscription. Any active FleetCollect plan can generate an API key — there is no per-call charge. A key stops working if the account's subscription lapses.

1. Get your API key

Sign in at app.fleetcollect.net (an active subscription is required).
Open Settings → API Access & AI Agents and click Generate API Key.
Copy the key (fc_live_…) — it is shown only once.

2. The endpoint

The MCP server speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP at:

POST https://app.fleetcollect.net/mcp
Authorization: Bearer fc_live_your_key_here
Content-Type: application/json

List the available tools:

curl -X POST https://app.fleetcollect.net/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fc_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

3. Connect from Claude

Claude Desktop — add a remote MCP server to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fleetcollect": {
      "url": "https://app.fleetcollect.net/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer fc_live_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, point it at the URL above and provide the API key. Claude API / Agent SDK — pass it as anmcp_servers entry with your key as authorization_token.

4. Connect from ChatGPT

ChatGPT connectors are supported via OAuth (rolling out). In the meantime, use the API key flow above from Claude or any MCP-compatible client. The server exposes the searchand fetch tools that ChatGPT connectors expect.
