NexusFeed MCP server

Lets your AI check US liquor license records and LTL freight fuel surcharge rates for you.

This is a helper that connects your AI to two sets of public business records: US state liquor license databases and LTL freight fuel surcharge rates. It is handy if you work in logistics, compliance, insurance, or merchant onboarding and you often need to look up a license or a fuel rate. Instead of you hunting through state websites, your AI does the lookup and hands you a clean answer.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to NexusFeed, which pulls data from state liquor license portals and carrier tariff pages. Once it is connected, you can just ask your AI a question and it will go fetch the answer for you.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like whether a liquor license is still active, or what the current fuel surcharge is for a carrier. Your AI sends that request to this helper. The helper talks to the NexusFeed service, which has already gathered the data from state ABC portals and carrier tariff pages. You get back a clean answer with the license status, address, expiration date, or the fuel surcharge percentage, plus a note about how fresh and reliable that data is.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Is Total Wine's California liquor license still active?”, the NexusFeed MCP server connects it to NexusFeed, and you get back license status and fuel rate.

“What is the current fuel surcharge for ODFL this week”
“Audit this LTL invoice: carrier ODFL, invoice date April 1 2026, billed fuel surcharge 23.5 percent”

What it gives back to you

You get back a short answer in the chat, like the license status, the business address, the expiration date, or the fuel surcharge percentage. For fuel rates, you can also get a history table going back several years. Every answer comes with a small block showing when the data was pulled, how confident the system is in it, and a link to the original source so you can double-check. If something looks off, you can ask your AI to explain that block.

Before you start

What you need

An API key from NexusFeed, which you get by subscribing on RapidAPI (there is a free plan with 10 requests a day)
The uvx tool installed on your computer, or Python with pip if you prefer
The Claude desktop app or another AI tool that supports MCP servers

Good to know

The data comes from outside sources and can be slightly out of date, so for anything important like a compliance decision, check the confidence score and the source link before you rely on it.

Install it with your AI
