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.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Datalastic Maritime into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Datalastic Maritime and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 8 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
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.
