What you can do with this MCP connector
This server gives your AI agent real-time access to global maritime intelligence. You can use it to search for ships by name using search_maritime_vessels, or find vessels in a specific area using find_vessels_in_radius. For a ship's specs, you can pull advanced technical dimensions, tonnage, and other data with get_vessel_pro_specs. To see where a vessel is right now and what it's doing, use get_vessel_status.
You can also grab a ship's full movement history and location data by running get_vessel_history. When you need to pinpoint a port, you can search for one by name with search_ports_by_name or by country using search_ports_by_country. To get the precise coordinates and details for any known maritime port, use get_port_details.
How Datalastic Maritime MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Datalastic server and input your API key.
- 2 Ask your AI client to perform a query (e.g., 'What is the status of vessel X?').
- 3 The server executes the correct tool call and returns the structured maritime data to your client.
The bottom line is, you talk to your agent like a logistics analyst, and it handles the complex database lookups for you.
Who Is Datalastic Maritime MCP For?
This is for the global supply chain manager, the port operations team, and the trade compliance officer. If your job involves tracking physical goods across international waters, this tool is non-negotiable. You're the person who needs to know where a container is, what its paperwork says, and if the port it's going to is even open.
Tracks cargo vessels, verifies delivery schedules, and checks if the receiving port has the necessary codes.
Analyzes global shipping patterns, maps vessel distributions, and gathers data on specific maritime zones.
Verifies vessel flag information, checks metadata, and ensures international shipment details meet regulatory standards.
What Changes When You Connect
- Real-time status updates: Use
get_vessel_statusto get a vessel's current location and operational status immediately. You don't have to check multiple dashboards to see if a ship is running or stopped. - Historical tracking: Run
get_vessel_historyto map out a vessel's full journey. This lets you analyze movement patterns and pinpoint when a ship was last in a specific area. - Find anything in a zone:
find_vessels_in_radiusinstantly lists every vessel and tanker in a specific geographical zone. This is critical for immediate area assessment, like searching for nearby cargo ships. - Verify port details: Use
get_port_detailsto pull exact geolocations and UN/LOCODEs for any port. This avoids manual cross-referencing and confirms the terminal's exact location. - Deep vessel data:
get_vessel_pro_specsprovides robust technical specs, including dimensions and tonnages. You get the deep dive data needed for load planning or structural audits. - Global port search:
search_ports_by_countrylets you find all terminals in a given country. This is better than guessing and provides a reliable list of major ports and their codes.
Real-World Use Cases
A ship needs a rapid status check.
A port operations team needs to know if the 'Ever Given' is currently moving and where. They ask their agent: 'What is the current status and ETA for vessel MMSI X?' The agent runs get_vessel_status and returns the ship's live status and estimated arrival time, solving the query in one go.
Tracking a container through a complex route.
A logistics coordinator needs to confirm a vessel's entire journey. They ask the agent to check the vessel's history. The agent uses get_vessel_history to build the AIS track and location data, allowing the coordinator to audit the full path taken, from departure to arrival.
Planning a search in a restricted zone.
A maritime researcher needs to find all ships in a small, sensitive area. They use the agent to run find_vessels_in_radius around the coordinates. The agent immediately returns a list of all vessels and cargo tankers within that circle, letting the researcher scope the area accurately.
Need to verify an international port code.
A trade compliance officer is preparing paperwork for Brazil. They ask the agent to list major ports in 'Brazil'. The agent uses search_ports_by_country, returning the correct UN/LOCODEs and coordinates for terminals like Santos and Paranaguá, making the paperwork compliant.
The Tradeoffs
Searching only by name
Just asking, 'Tell me about the ship called Ever Given.' This only uses search_maritime_vessels and gives basic metadata. It doesn't tell you where it is now or if it has broken down.
→
First, use search_maritime_vessels to confirm the vessel ID. Then, run get_vessel_status to get its live location, and finally, use get_vessel_pro_specs to review its tonnage.
Ignoring the radius search
Manually searching for all vessels near a specific coordinate on a map interface. This is slow and limited to the platform's visible dataset.
→
Use find_vessels_in_radius. You give it the coordinates and the radius, and it instantly pulls every vessel and tanker within that exact circle, regardless of what your map shows.
Assuming a single tool works for everything
Asking one tool to provide both the port code and the ship's live position. The tools are specialized, and you need to call them separately.
→
Use search_ports_by_country to get the port code and coordinates. Then, use get_vessel_status to get the ship's current location. Combine the data points yourself in your client.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your workflow requires combining live vessel tracking with static port data. You need to answer questions like: 'Are there ships near Port X, and what are their specs?' If you only need to look up a single, known port code, get_port_details is enough. If you just need to find a ship by name, use search_maritime_vessels. Don't use this if you just need to know the weather forecast; you'll need a separate weather API. The core strength is the ability to stitch together real-time location (get_vessel_status), historical movement (get_vessel_history), and terminal data (get_port_details) in a structured sequence.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 8 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Tracking a ship's journey shouldn't require five different data portals.
Before Datalastic, checking a ship's status meant opening the port authority site for the destination, then opening a separate vessel tracking site using its MMSI, and finally cross-referencing its specs on a third database. You'd spend minutes copying IDs and switching tabs.
Now, your agent uses Datalastic Maritime. You ask it for the vessel's status, and it returns the live location, ETA, and the full metadata packet—all in one response. It's a single query that covers the entire data lifecycle.
Datalastic Maritime MCP Server: Full Tracking & Port Insights
You no longer have to manually search for port codes across multiple country-specific databases. The agent handles `search_ports_by_country` and `search_ports_by_name` to return exact UN/LOCODEs and geolocations immediately.
This isn't just data retrieval. It means your automation can programmatically confirm a terminal's existence and location before any physical shipment moves. It makes the entire process reliable.
Common Questions About Datalastic Maritime MCP
How do I use `search_maritime_vessels` to find a ship? +
You simply ask the agent to search by name. Just provide the vessel's name in your prompt, and the agent runs search_maritime_vessels to find its metadata and MMSI number.
What is the difference between `get_vessel_status` and `get_vessel_history`? +
The difference is time: get_vessel_status gives you the ship's current, real-time location and status. get_vessel_history retrieves the full record of past AIS tracking data for that vessel.
Can I find ships in a specific area using `find_vessels_in_radius`? +
Yes. find_vessels_in_radius takes a set of coordinates and a radius (in miles/km) and returns every vessel within that exact circle. This is useful for immediate zone analysis.
Which tool should I use to find port codes? +
Use search_ports_by_country or search_ports_by_name. The agent handles both, giving you the official UN/LOCODEs and coordinates for the port you need.
How do I use `get_vessel_pro_specs` to find a ship's dimensions and tonnage? +
It gets advanced technical specs for a vessel. This tool returns dimensions, tonnage, and other detailed build information that simple searches miss.
What kind of input is needed for `search_ports_by_country`? +
You need a valid two-letter country code (e.g., 'US' or 'BR'). This tool returns all major ports and their UN/LOCODEs within that country.
Can I use `get_vessel_history` for a vessel that has been decommissioned? +
The tool requires a valid vessel identifier (like MMSI). If the vessel is decommissioned, it won't return historical AIS data.
What is the difference between `get_port_details` and `search_ports_by_name`? +
Use search_ports_by_name to find a port by its common text name. Use get_port_details when you already have the port's unique identifier or need precise coordinates.
Can I track a ship using its name? +
Yes! Use the search_maritime_vessels tool with the vessel's name. It will return a list of matching ships with their MMSI numbers, which you can then use for real-time tracking.
What is an MMSI number? +
MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity. It is a unique 9-digit number used to identify a vessel's radio equipment and is the primary identifier for AIS tracking.
How can I find the official code for a port? +
Use the search_ports_by_country tool with the 2-letter ISO country code. The response will list ports in that country along with their official UN/LOCODEs.
