Upply MCP

An AI connected to your market

Your usual AI tool is powerful, but isolated. The Upply MCP (Model Context Protocol) gives it access to our market data.

Upply fits the way you work, not the other way around.

Connect once, with nothing to install.

Your AI reasons over our 2 billion market data points, continuously updated.

The connection is secured via OAuth authentication. Your AI only accesses what your Upply account already allows, nothing more, nothing less.

use cases

From AI chat to market data

A few example prompts to get you started.

Try: "Using Upply, list the tools you have access to and what each one is for. Then show me which market indices I can reach, grouped by category."

MCP_Prompt 1_EN
Try: "Here is our list of lanes. Benchmark each one in Upply and return a spreadsheet with origin, destination, equipment, the market low, median and high, and our current rate alongside.

[paste your lanes, one per line: origin, destination, equipment, current rate]

Sort by the gap between our rate and the market median, largest first, and flag which lanes sit above the market and which sit below."
MCP_Prompt 2_EN

Try: "We are tendering the lanes below for next year. Benchmark the contract market for each one in Upply and give me a target rate.

[paste your lanes, one per line: origin, destination, equipment, annual volume]

Return a table with origin, destination, the benchmark range and a recommended target. Flag any lane where the range is unusually wide, since that signals volatility worth negotiating around. End with the assumptions you had to make."

MCP_Prompt 3_EN

Try: "Our cost to run [a reefer truck] from [Valencia, Spain] to [Paris, France] is about [€1,900] per trip.

Benchmark this lane in Upply and tell me the margin I can expect at the market low, median and high. Then compare spot and contract, and tell me which market makes more sense for this lane right now."

MCP_Prompt 4_EN

Try: "Our client contract on [France domestic road] was priced in [January 2025]. I want to ask for a rate revision.

Using Upply Data Hub, pull French diesel prices, the French toll index and the relevant road freight index since that date, all rebased to 100 at [January 2025]. Tell me how much each has moved, and draft a short, factual paragraph I can send my client to support the revision. Stick to what the data shows."
