SONAR launches MCP, bringing freight market intelligence inside your AI assistant

SONAR’s new MCP connector lets compatible AI assistants like Claude and Copilot answer freight market questions in plain language, drawing on SONAR data and tools for rates, capacity, lanes, carrier safety and more.

SONAR has launched SONAR MCP, a connector that puts its freight market intelligence directly inside compatible AI assistants like Claude, Copilot and more. The rollout to SONAR customers began the week of Nov. 9, 2026.

Instead of moving between dashboards and memorizing index tickers, transportation teams can now ask a question in plain English and get an answer grounded in SONAR data.

SONAR MCP is SONAR’s connector built on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard that lets AI models and agents connect to outside tools and data. Anthropic introduced the protocol in November 2024, and it works much like an API built for AI.
