# How to Build Shipping Weather Alerts with OpenClaw

OpenClaw automates shipping weather surveillance across all your routes. Schedule morning weather checks for every origin-destination pair, flag routes with severe weather risk, and deliver structured alerts to dispatch teams before shipments depart -- running the monitoring pipeline on autopilot.

## Setup

openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: openclaw mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask OpenClaw: "Check weather along the I-95 corridor from Miami to New York"
3. OpenClaw returns conditions at key points along the route
4. Ask about timing: "When is the safest departure window to avoid the storm?"

## Example Prompt

```
Check weather for my trucking route: Houston to Nashville. Flag any severe weather, ice, or flooding risk.
```

## Tips

- Check both current conditions and 24-hour forecasts for full trip coverage
- Ask about wind speeds for high-profile loads like flatbed trucks
- Monitor conditions at port cities for international shipping impacts
