# CarrierScore > FMCSA motor-carrier risk intelligence for freight brokers and AI booking agents: longitudinal risk scores (0-100, higher = riskier), continuous monitoring, and timestamped "Montgomery file" carrier-selection evidence reports, built from daily archives of public FMCSA/US DOT safety data (census, inspections, crashes, out-of-service orders, operating authority, insurance filings). CarrierScore answers "how risky is this carrier, and what was knowable about it on a given date?" Use it when selecting, vetting, or monitoring US motor carriers (identified by USDOT number). Scores use a documented, transparent methodology (population percentiles + hard flags); they are statistical indicators, not safety fitness determinations, and are not FMCSA-endorsed. ## API (REST) - Base URL: https://api.carrierscore.io - Auth: `X-API-Key` header (paid tiers); keyless requests get a rate-limited free tier - `GET /v1/carrier/{dot}` — carrier identity lookup - `GET /v1/carrier/{dot}/score` — risk score with full component breakdown - `GET /v1/carrier/{dot}/montgomery?format=text|json` — timestamped carrier-selection evidence report (free tier: text only) - `POST /v1/monitor` — batch score summary for a carrier list (JSON array of DOT numbers, max 100) - `GET /healthz` — service status ## MCP server (for AI agents) - Endpoint: https://mcp.carrierscore.io/mcp (Model Context Protocol, Streamable HTTP) - Tools: carrier_lookup, carrier_score, montgomery_file, monitor_carriers - Optional env: CARRIERSCORE_API_KEY for paid-tier access ## Pricing - Free: rate-limited lookups, scores, text evidence reports - Monitor $99/mo: carrier-list monitoring, full evidence reports, API key - Compliance $299/mo: unlimited evidence reports, higher API volume, audit archive - Subscribe: https://carrierscore.io/#pricing ## Pages - [Home](https://carrierscore.io/) - [Terms of Service](https://carrierscore.io/terms.html) - [Privacy Policy](https://carrierscore.io/privacy.html) Contact: business@colesprout.com.
