Datalastic MCP Server

Official MCP server for Datalastic — real-time vessel tracking, port data, marine weather, and maritime intelligence for any MCP-compatible AI client.

The server is hosted at mcp.datalastic.com — no local installation required.

What it does

25 tools across six categories:

• Live vessel positions — track ships in real time by MMSI, IMO, or name
• Vessel registry — specs, dimensions, flag, and tonnage for 750,000+ vessels
• Port data — global port and terminal directory with UN/LOCODEs
• Area search — all vessels currently within a radius of any point or port
• Marine weather — current conditions and 7-day forecasts at any location
• Maritime intelligence (Maritime Reports add-on) — ownership, inspections, casualties, dry dock, engine specs, sale & purchase transactions, schematic sea routes, and estimated open-ocean positions

Getting started

Sign in with your Datalastic account (recommended)

No API key needed. Add https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp as a remote server in your client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datalastic": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

When you connect, your client opens a browser window to sign in with your Datalastic account — approve and you're connected.

API key

Sign up at datalastic.com/pricing, then add the X-Api-Key header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datalastic": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Per-client configuration examples (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI) are in the GitHub repo.
