No: the server works without sign-in

Describe a shipment in plain English — quantities, dimensions, weights, stacking limits, fragile or non-tiltable items, a preferred container — and get back which containers it fits in, how full each one is, anything that did not fit, and a link to an interactive 3D load plan.

Backed by a real 3D bin-packing solver, not volume arithmetic. Asked whether 500 cartons fit in a 40-foot, an assistant without this divides one volume by another, which ignores stacking rules, orientation and weight limits and overstates what fits by a wide margin on real cargo.

Works on the first call with no account: the demo credentials are real and shared. Set your own API key and username for higher limits and multi-container optimisation.

How to connect

How to connect container-loading to Claude

The server address to paste into Claude settings:

https://container-loading--emperon.run.tools

  1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
  5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

Authorization

After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

How to connect container-loading to ChatGPT

The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

https://container-loading--emperon.run.tools

  1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
  2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
  3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
  4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
  5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
  6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

Authorization

On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

How to connect container-loading to Cursor

The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

https://container-loading--emperon.run.tools

Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

Manually:

  1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
  2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
  3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

Authorization

If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

pack_shipmentWork out how a shipment fits into shipping containers, trucks or pallets, using a real 3D bin-packing solver. Describe the cargo in plain English -- quantities, dimensions, weights, and any constraints such as fragile, non-tiltable, max stack height or a preferred container type -- and get back which containers are needed, how full each one is, anything that did not fit, and a link to an interactive 3D load plan. Use this instead of estimating from volume. Volume arithmetic ignores stacking rules, orientation and weight limits, and overstates what fits by a wide margin on real cargo.
