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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Datalastic Maritime tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
