They cannot reliably answer "which Texas reefer carriers are running Samsara and growing 20% YoY" by reading the web. The data is scattered across FMCSA filings, social media, broker forums, and proprietary technology adoption databases. Without a structured source, the agent guesses. AlphaLoops is that source. The MCP server gives any AI agent direct, structured access to 2.7 million carriers across 200+ fields, with sub-100ms response times. Carrier intelligence becomes a tool call instead of a research project. Section 03 · The MCP server ## 30+ tools, every facet of carrier intelligence The full carrier dataset exposed as discrete tools an LLM can call. Six categories cover every workflow. LOOKUP Identity and authority Resolve any DOT or MC. Authority history, BMC-91 filings, officer roster, address graph. SEARCH Discovery and filtering Filter the carrier graph by fleet size, geography, equipment, technology, growth, authority age. SCORE ICP and ranking Rank by similarity to a reference set or natural-language criteria. ICP fit, risk, displacement value. SAFETY FMCSA, fleet, inspections CSA BASICs, inspection history, crash records, OOS rates, VIN-level equipment, full tech stack. FRAUD Risk and fraud signals Chameleon detection, MC sale watchlist, equipment sale signals, federal litigation, AI-flagged signals. CONTACT Decision-makers Verified emails and phones for owners, ops VPs, IT directors, CFOs across 2.7M carriers.
