What it is
LoadingMCP plans container and truck loads in 3D, selecting equipment and arranging cargo according to orientation and stacking rules. It checks plans against CTU packing, IMDG 7.2.4 segregation, SOLAS VGM, McKee carton crush, axle loads and the US Federal Bridge Formula. Users can paste Excel packing lists or upload CSV files and map columns. The planner calculates centre of gravity and eccentricity, and can rearrange cargo toward a target balance. It can produce a securing list covering dunnage, airbags and blocking, plus a numbered stuffing work order. Plans export as PDF, Excel or JSON. The hosted MCP server connects with Claude, Cursor and Windsurf, while a REST API can be used from a TMS. A free browser plan includes the 3D planner and compliance verdict without login or card. Starter and Business plans are quoted to volume; real loads through REST API or production MCP optimization require a Business plan and API key. Compliance results support decisions but are not legal certificates.
