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.

About Datalastic Maritime MCP Server

Equip your AI agent with real-time global maritime intelligence through the Datalastic MCP server. This integration provides instant access to detailed information on thousands of vessels and ports worldwide. Your agent can search for ships by name, retrieve exhaustive metadata (including MMSI, status, and flag), and track real-time positions and ETAs for specific vessels. It also allows searching for maritime ports by country to find official UN/LOCODEs. Whether you are managing global logistics, auditing supply chains, or researching maritime traffic, your agent acts as a dedicated port captain and logistics analyst through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Datalastic Maritime tools. Connect 8 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Vessel Search & Specs — Find commercial ships by name and retrieve robust technical dimensions and tonnages.
Navigation Intelligence — Retrieve real-time positions, ETAs, and historical AIS tracking paths for specific vessels.
Geofence Discovery — Find all active vessels and cargo tankers located within a specific circular radius instantly.
Port Insights — Discover maritime ports by country or name and retrieve exact geolocations and UN/LOCODEs.

The Datalastic Maritime MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Datalastic Maritime + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Datalastic Maritime MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Datalastic Maritime tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
