Vesselapi Mcp Server
VesselAPI MCP Server
Connect your AI assistant to real-time maritime data. The VesselAPI MCP Server gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools access to vessel tracking, port activity, and maritime safety information - all through natural language.
What You Can Do
Ask your AI assistant questions like:
- "Where is the Ever Given right now?"
- "Show me all vessels near the Port of Rotterdam"
- "What ships arrived at Singapore last week?"
- "Get the emissions report for IMO 9811000"
- "Are there any NAVTEX warnings in the North Sea?"
Available Tools
Vessels - Search by name, IMO, MMSI, flag, or type. Get positions, ETAs, classification, ownership, emissions, inspection history, and casualty records.
Ports - Search ports worldwide. View arrivals and departures by port or by vessel.
Location - Find all vessels within a bounding box or radius of any coordinate.
Safety - Retrieve NAVTEX maritime safety messages including navigational warnings and weather forecasts.
