API
Structured data and operations
The target API would query shipments, documents, statuses, costs, partners and business rules through controlled endpoints.
A vision for opening freight data to the agents your teams use
The TMS your agents could connect to
OneChain Headless describes the target interface for IT, data and AI teams. Each API, CLI or MCP access request still needs qualification with the product team.

Interfaces
Three proposed entry points for your AI stack
The Headless program is for teams that want to qualify use of OneChain as an operational system beyond existing screens and exports.
CLI
Repeatable automations
The target CLI would run audits, exports or checks inside repeatable internal workflows.
MCP
Direct connection to AI assistants
The target MCP would let Claude, ChatGPT or internal agents query OneChain through a standardized framework.

Authentication and organization scopes to be defined. Read-only planned by default for analytical use cases. Written opt-in and dedicated approval planned for sensitive actions. Expected traceability of queries and triggered operations.
Your agent stays with you, OneChain keeps freight context
In the target model, your agent queries OneChain, prepares a summary or action, then follows internal approvals before any sensitive write.

Asks a business question
Example: compare ERP and freight costs on Q1 shipments or list files missing a POD.
OneChain
Returns reliable freight data
Shipments, statuses, documents, invoices, rates, partners and exceptions would be exposed according to granted permissions.
Customer workflow
Decides or triggers according to your rules
The agent prepares an email, audit, alert or action, with approval when operational impact requires it.
Use cases
What your agents could do with a headless TMS
These target cases help qualify the needs of data, freight controlling, supply chain and IT teams.
ERP
Reconcile ERP and transport
Identify shipments present in the ERP but incomplete in OneChain, or the opposite.
Invoices
Audit discrepancies at scale
Ask an agent to summarize invoice, forwarder, surcharge or currency discrepancies over a period.
Management
Prepare CFO or supply summaries
Generate an email or memo from consolidated costs, lead times, delays, volumes and emissions.
Exceptions
List what is truly blocking
Surface shipments without booking, without POD, without delivery date or with critical ETA.
BI
Feed your internal tools
Use freight data in Power BI, notebooks, scripts or control workflows.
Agents
Build your own copilots
Give your agents the ability to read freight context before answering or acting.
Guardrails
Access must be framed before opening
Before any opening, the Headless scope must define what would be readable, what would be actionable, by whom and under which approvals.
Read-only target default for analytics
Scopes rights to frame by organization and use case
Opt-in approval planned for sensitive actions
Early access
Ask to join the Headless program
Share your use case: internal agent, IT automation, reporting, invoice audit or ERP reconciliation. We will get back to you with the right access and framing.
