nexusfeed-mcp
Real-time LTL freight fuel surcharge rates and US state ABC liquor license compliance records — served as normalized, verifiable JSON for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.
Data is extracted from carrier tariff pages and state ABC portals (JS-rendered, CAPTCHAs, session state) that are structurally inaccessible to raw LLM browsing. Every response includes a _verifiability block — extraction timestamp, confidence score, and source URL — so agents can assess data quality before acting.

Verifiability
Every tool response includes:

"extraction_confidence": 0.97,
"raw_data_evidence_url": "https://odfl.com/...",

"data_freshness_ttl_seconds": 604800
}
extraction_confidence >= 0.90is required before using data in compliance-critical decisionssource_timestampwithindata_freshness_ttl_secondsmeans data is fresh from cacheraw_data_evidence_urlis the canonical source — agents can independently verify
Example Usage
Audit an LTL freight invoice:
Use the freight_audit_workflow prompt with carrier="ODFL", invoice_date="2026-04-01",
invoiced_fuel_surcharge_pct="23.5" to check whether the billed rate matches the
published tariff.
Verify a liquor license before a distributor transaction:
Use abc_search_licenses with state="CA" and trade_name="Total Wine" to check
current license status, then abc_lookup_license for the full record with suspension history.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| 401 on every call | MCP_API_KEY is not set or is invalid |
| "Could not reach API server" | MCP_API_BASE_URL not set — should be https://api.nexusfeed.dev |
| TX endpoints return 503 | TX TABC requires 2Captcha configured server-side; use CA, NY, or FL instead |
extraction_confidence < 0.90 | Data quality degraded — verify independently via raw_data_evidence_url |
