About JSONCargo Maritime MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and vessel auditing workflow with JSONCargo Maritime, the comprehensive source for real-time shipping data. By connecting JSONCargo to your agent, you transform complex logistics searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for vessels, audit current voyage statuses, and retrieve detailed port metadata without you ever touching a maritime portal. Whether you are conducting supply chain research or monitoring regional trade constraints, your agent acts as a real-time maritime consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
Google ADK natively supports JSONCargo Maritime as an MCP tool provider — declare the Vinkius Edge URL and the framework handles discovery, validation, and execution automatically. Combine 4 tools with Gemini's long-context reasoning for complex multi-tool workflows, with production-ready session management and evaluation built in.
What you can do
- Vessel Auditing — Search for thousands of maritime vessels by name or IMO number and retrieve detailed metadata, including flags and types.
- Voyage Oversight — Audit the current status and position of vessels to understand the temporal distribution of maritime logistics instantly.
- Port Discovery — Browse global ports and their location codes (LOCODEs) to maintain strict organizational control over trade routes.
- Logistics Intelligence — Retrieve unique vessel identifiers to assist in deep-dive supply chain classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
The JSONCargo Maritime MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Google ADK in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
