Sprout: ask Claude or ChatGPT for a Pea price.
Sprout is Pea's quoting assistant. Add it to Claude or ChatGPT once, then ask for a price in plain English. It answers from the same live pricing engine as this website, GST included, and it only reads prices: it can't book anything and never asks for your name, email or address.
https://pealogistics.com.au/api/public/mcpPaste this into Claude or ChatGPT as a custom connector. No account, key or sign-in needed.
Add Sprout to Claude
On a Free, Pro, Max or Ultra plan (the Free plan allows one custom connector), on claude.ai or the Claude apps:
- Go to Customize → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Name it Sprout and paste the connector URL. If Claude asks how people sign in, choose No sign-in.
- Click Add.
- In a chat, open the + menu, choose Connectors and check Sprout is switched on. Then ask away.
On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it first under Organization settings → Connectors (Add, then Custom), and each member then connects it from Customize → Connectors. Claude's own guide: add a connector that isn't in the directory.
Add Sprout to ChatGPT
ChatGPT adds custom MCP servers on the web, on plans and workspaces that allow them. It moves these menus often, so the names below may differ slightly on your account:
- On chatgpt.com, open Plugins (on some accounts it is Settings → Apps & Connectors). If there is no way to add your own, turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings; on a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace an admin may need to allow it.
- Choose to add a custom MCP server (the + or Create button).
- Name it Sprout, paste the connector URL and choose no authentication.
- Confirm the warning about custom servers and create it. ChatGPT then lists Sprout's five tools.
- In a new chat, type @ and pick Sprout (or switch it on from the + menu), then ask your question.

Things to ask
- “How much to move a 2-bedroom home from Sydney to Melbourne?”
- “What's the cheapest day in the next few weeks to move from Brisbane to Adelaide?”
- “I have a queen bed, a fridge, a 3-seat sofa and 20 medium boxes. How many cubic metres is that, and what would Sydney to Canberra cost?”
- “Quote 3 pallets from Melbourne to Sydney, the heaviest is 600 kg.”
- “Which Pea lanes run daily, and does Pea go to Perth yet?”
What Sprout does
- Prices house moves on every Pea lane, with the same breakdown the quote shows.
- Finds the cheapest pickup days over the coming weeks.
- Prices pallet freight between Pea's hubs.
- Turns a list of furniture and boxes into cubic metres.
- Says which states are serviced and which are coming soon.
What it won't do
- Book, hold truck space or take a payment.
- Ask for personal details. It only receives what a price needs (two cities, the size of the move, a date if you give one) and keeps none of it.
- Price Western Australia, the Northern Territory or Tasmania yet: those routes are coming soon, with a waitlist.
- Price local or regional moves: those need your exact addresses in the quote tool.
The quote tool is the source of truth.
Sprout's prices come from the same engine as the online quote, and every answer links to it. The quote takes your exact addresses, date and access; accepting it fixes the price for the move you described, and it only changes if the volume, access or add-ons differ.
Building something? Sprout speaks MCP (Streamable HTTP, stateless, no auth). For plain JSON there is the public price API.
