How to install Mothership in Claude DesktopDesktop app (MCP config)

Open your MCP config
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add this server

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mothership": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.mothership.com"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Why the wrapper?
This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.
Restart Claude Desktop
The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

How to install Mothership in Codex CLIOpenAI coding agent

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml

toml

[mcp_servers.mothership]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.mothership.com"]

Why the wrapper?
Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.
Run Codex
Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

What tools does Mothership expose?

This server requires credentials before it will list its tools, so we cannot enumerate them here. Connect it in your client to see what it offers.

What the code can do

This is a remote server — nothing is installed or run on your machine, so there is no local code to analyze. What it can reach is described above: your requests go to the provider's host.

Documentation

Full README

Mothership MCP server

Mothership is a freight marketplace for LTL, truckload and local freight. Its MCP server connects your AI assistant to your Mothership account, so you can get rates, track and cancel shipments, find freight classes and check your bills by asking in plain language.

The server is at https://mcp.mothership.com and speaks Streamable HTTP. You sign in with your Mothership account over OAuth 2.1, and the assistant sees only what your account can see. The official MCP Registry lists it as com.mothership/mothership.

This repo also holds the Mothership plugin for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor, which adds Mothership's skills to the server. See Plugins.

What it can do

With the server connected, your assistant can:

Quote LTL, truckload and local freight. It shows each carrier's price and delivery date, with a link to book the rate you pick in the Mothership dashboard. Every quote it gets is saved to your account.
Track a shipment by its Mothership reference, PRO, BOL or pickup number, or your own reference: status, pickup and delivery windows, carrier, cargo, documents and the newest tracking updates.
Find, list and count your shipments by date, status or carrier.
Cancel a shipment. It shows the cancellation fee and refund first, and cancels only after you confirm.
Find the NMFC item for what you ship, read an item's freight classes, and estimate a class from weight and dimensions.
Check whether Mothership serves an address, and whether it's residential or limited access.
Show your invoices, rebills, payment methods and billing details.
Start freight claims, follow them, and accept or rebut a claim decision.
Keep your address book, invite and manage teammates, and set up webhooks.
Search Mothership's help articles and your support conversations.

In clients that support MCP Apps, such as Claude and ChatGPT, quotes and shipments can show as cards.

Connect

Any MCP client that supports remote servers with OAuth can connect to https://mcp.mothership.com. The first time it connects, it opens a Mothership sign-in page, and you approve the client's access. You need a Mothership account. If you don't have one, sign up at https://dashboard.mothership.com/signup.

Clients identify themselves with a Client ID Metadata Document, as Claude, ChatGPT and VS Code do. The server doesn't support dynamic client registration. Cursor signs in with a client ID that Mothership set up for it.

Claude

In claude.ai or the Claude desktop app, add Mothership as a custom connector. On Free, Pro and Max plans:

Go to Customize > Connectors, select + Add, then Add custom connector.
Enter Mothership as the name and https://mcp.mothership.com as the URL, and select Continue.
Keep the authentication settings Claude detects. Under OAuth client, leave Use Claude's published identity selected, since Mothership doesn't support Register automatically.
Select Add, then sign in with your Mothership account.
