NTainers already stores the freight objects your team works: shipments, consols, orders, bookings, documents. MCP is how any compatible agent uses those objects without a one-off integration for each chat tool.
Cargo Chat — Outlook and WhatsApp — is one client on that bus. It is not the only way in.
An agent asking for a shipment sees the same ports, ETA, and parties as Control Centre. No second copy of the truth.
Tenant API keys, not a shared inbox bot. Read and write follow the same tenancy rules as the portal.
Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or an agent you already run. The protocol is MCP. The product is the freight catalog.

Tenant self-serve keys and a Control Centre MCP page are coming next. The backplane is already how we operate the catalog.
