Vessel Traffic MCP tools (14)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • carrier_schedule_search

    Search carrier sailing schedules by origin/destination, carrier SCAC/name, cargo type, direct-only flag, and departure/arrival windows. Returns normalized schedules with upstream source metadata.

  • credential_profiles

    List BYOK credential profile labels, provider hints, declared field names, and status. Raw keys are never returned.

  • data_sources

    List available vessel data source adapters, coverage notes, auth mode, and caveats.

  • document_vessel_lookup

    Extract vessel signals (name, IMO/MMSI/callsign, voyage, ports, container numbers, dates) from B/L-style text and return ranked candidates.

  • port_calls

    Return recent port-call events for a vessel by MMSI/IMO or for a UN/LOCODE port. Requires at least one filter.

  • provider_onboarding

    Show safe manual signup, API docs, credential env vars, configured status, and validation steps for provider access. Does not create accounts or issue credentials.

  • provider_status

    List configured vessel data providers, auth state, feature support, quota hints, and caveats.

  • schedule_delay_predict

    Compare planned carrier schedule timestamps with estimated/actual timestamps and return an on-time, at-risk, delayed, or unknown heuristic.

  • vessel_area

    Return latest known positions for vessels inside a bounding box (latMin<=latMax, lonMin<=lonMax) with provider source metadata.

  • vessel_name_resolve

    Resolve a messy vessel name (e.g. from B/L text) to ranked MMSI/IMO candidates with matched/missing signals and confidence.

  • vessel_position

    Return the latest known position for a vessel by MMSI or IMO with source, retrievedAt, observedAt, and freshness metadata.

  • vessel_schedule

    Return scheduled carrier port calls for a vessel by MMSI, IMO, vessel name, voyage number, or carrier SCAC with source metadata.

  • vessel_search

    Search vessels by MMSI, IMO, name, or callsign. Requires at least one identifier; returns normalized identities with provider source metadata.

  • vessel_track

    Return the recent track points for a vessel by MMSI or IMO, optionally bounded by ISO-8601 windowStart/windowEnd.

Install Vessel Traffic MCP in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @tools-mcp/vessel-traffic-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

Vessel Traffic MCP

English | 한국어 | 日本語 | 中文

Vessel tracking and shipping schedules for AI agents.

Vessel Traffic MCP is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for vessel identity lookup, AIS-style positions, tracks, port calls, carrier schedules, vessel schedules, and delay heuristics. It gives Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, MCP Inspector, and other MCP clients one normalized maritime-data tool surface.

Use it when an agent needs to:

  • search/fetch vessel context through generic connector-style MCP tools;
  • resolve a vessel from a name, MMSI, IMO, callsign, or bill-of-lading text;
  • ask where a vessel is, where it has been, or which vessels are in an area;
  • search container-shipping schedules by port pair or vessel;
  • return the original provider and source URL with every live/public result;
  • test maritime workflows safely before buying paid AIS or schedule APIs.

The project does not bypass provider terms, paywalls, CAPTCHA, or access controls. Commercial providers are Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), the default test path is fixture-only, and this is not a navigation product.

Open source under the MIT license. Pre-1.0; APIs and tool surfaces may change.
