CBP Border Wait Times

No authcbp-border-wait-times

U.S. Customs and Border Protection — live land-border crossing wait times for the ~82 U.S. land ports of entry on the Canadian and Mexican borders. Per crossing, the operational status / delay minutes / open-lane count for commercial-vehicle, passenger-vehicle, and pedestrian lanes, broken down by sub-lane (standard, FAST, NEXUS/SENTRI, ready). Useful for cross-border logistics, supply-chain / freight timing, and field-crew border planning. Upstream is a SINGLE bulk endpoint with no server-side filtering — this connector fetches it once (cached ~10 min) and filters/shapes the result in-process. No auth.

    All land ports of entry with current per-lane wait times (optionally summarized)

    Input schema
    {
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "summary": {
      "type": "boolean",
      "examples": [
