The only load planner that also tells you whether the load is legal to ship.
LoadingMCP is a 3D container and truck load planner with a real compliance engine behind it. It right-sizes the equipment, packs the cargo in 3D, and checks CTU packing, SOLAS VGM, IMDG dangerous-goods segregation, McKee carton crush, axle loads with the US Federal Bridge Formula, centre of gravity and securing — on every plan. Free demo, no login. REST API and MCP server.

How do I plan a container or truck load?
Open the 3D planner, type your cargo (or paste a packing list), and LoadingMCP right-sizes the container or trailer, packs it in 3D with real orientation and stacking rules, computes centre of gravity, and runs the compliance check — returning a "ready to ship" verdict or a list of blockers. It's free in the browser, no login.
Frequently asked questions
Is the demo really free?
Yes - and it's not a stripped-down demo. The full planner runs in your browser with no login and no card: right-sizing, 3D packing, the complete compliance engine, packing-list import, the drag-to-balance CoG, a printable work order, and PDF / Excel / JSON export. A paid plan adds saved projects + history - your loads kept and re-openable - and, on Business, the REST API + MCP so you can plan from your TMS or AI client, plus seats and higher limits.
How accurate is the compliance engine? What standards does it use?
Every check maps to a published standard: CTU Code for packing and securing, IMDG 7.2.4 for dangerous-goods segregation, SOLAS Reg. VI/2 for VGM, the McKee formula for carton crush, the US Federal Bridge Formula and FMCSA for axles, and EN 12195 for road cargo-securing. It is a strong pre-shipment check - but the verdict is decision support, not a legal certificate. The shipper of record stays responsible for the declaration.
Do I need a paid plan to use the API or MCP server?
The MCP server has a public demo key that returns the standard equipment library and heuristic suggestions with no signup, so you can wire it up and test the connection. Running real loads through POST /v1/plan or the plan_load tool against the full optimizer needs a Business plan and an API key.
