How to Use the Datalastic Maritime MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I search vessels by name in Windsurf?

Yes, Cascade uses searchmaritimevessels to find ships by their names. It then automatically pulls their real-time status without you asking twice.

Q: Does the Datalastic Maritime MCP Server support multi-step port analysis in Windsurf?

It does. Windsurf chains searchportsbyname and getportdetails to locate a harbor and verify its docking specs in one go.

Q: How do I install this MCP Server in Windsurf?

Add the server configuration to your mcpconfig.json file. Cascade instantly detects the new tools and starts using them during your chats.

Perplexity

Map vessel clusters with Windsurf Cascade

`find_vessels_in_radius` identifies ships within a specific circular radius to let Cascade plot coordinates automatically. You connect this MCP server to give Windsurf's Cascade a coordinate, and it immediately runs this tool to grab the exact latitude and longitude of every vessel nearby. Windsurf's Cascade doesn't stop at just listing those ships. The Cascade agent chains this data to map out shipping lanes, tracking how many bulk carriers or tankers clog up a specific zone.

Track historical vessel voyages instantly

`get_vessel_history` pulls past AIS track and location data for any ship you need Windsurf to audit. Cascade uses this tool to reconstruct historical voyages step-by-step, showing you where a vessel stalled or changed course. Instead of manual lookups, you ask Cascade to find anomalies in a ship's past route. Cascade runs the query, grabs the history, and pinpoints exactly when the vessel deviated from its scheduled path.

Query port details and country-wide harbors

`get_port_details` fetches coordinates and operational specs for specific maritime ports directly into Windsurf. Cascade combines this with `search_ports_by_country` to build a complete inventory of harbors for your Windsurf logistics planning. You specify a region, and Windsurf's Cascade runs the search, parses the port codes, and validates whether a specific vessel can dock there based on its size.
