Perplexity

Query vessel locations from your CLI

`get_vessel_status` fetches real-time coordinates and movement data for any ship directly into your Claude Code terminal. Claude Code runs this MCP server tool to output raw vessel JSON that you can instantly pipe into grep or jq. You can set up Claude Code terminal aliases to check on specific container ships. Claude Code executes the vessel query, parses the status, and prints a clean summary to your console.

Audit voyage histories via terminal commands

`get_vessel_history` extracts historical AIS tracks for any vessel to help you debug shipping delays inside Claude Code. Claude Code pulls this AIS history data and formats it as a CSV or markdown table. You can tell Claude Code to run a quick script comparing planned routes against actual AIS tracks. Claude Code handles the heavy lifting, pulling historical ship coordinates and identifying where the vessel slowed down.

Search ports by country inside Claude Code

`search_ports_by_country` lists all maritime ports in a specific country directly inside your Claude Code session. Claude Code uses this tool to quickly verify port codes during automated deployment scripts. You don't need to open a browser when Claude Code can fetch port coordinates directly. Claude Code finds the harbor, grabs the details, and drops the raw port data right into your terminal buffer.
