What is the NavAPI MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and nautical auditing workflow with NavAPI, the comprehensive source for global shipping and navigation data. By connecting NavAPI to your agent, you transform complex logistics searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for maritime ports, audit nautical distances, and retrieve vessel traffic statistics without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are planning shipping routes or conducting regional maritime audits, your agent acts as a real-time nautical consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and localized.
What you can do
- Port Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution details for thousands of global maritime ports, including country and coordinate metadata.
- Route Oversight — Audit nautical distances between any two ports to maintain a clear view of shipping logistics and scale.
- Traffic Intelligence — Query real-time vessel traffic for specific ports to understand the current industry distribution instantly.
- Chart Discovery — List available nautical charts for specific geographic areas to assist in regional navigation planning.
- Logistics Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime research workflow is always operational.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your NavAPI.com API Key
- Start managing your maritime intelligence through Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Logistics Analysts — monitor port traffic and retrieve nautical metadata straight from your workflow.
- Trade Researchers — verify shipping routes and audit regional distribution without manual searching.
- Ship Operators — perform rapid audits of port distances and identify relevant charts through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate nautical data querying to orchestrate cross-functional logistics teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my NavAPI Key?
Log in to your NavAPI dashboard, and you will find your API Key under the 'API Settings' or 'My Keys' section. Copy and paste it below.
Does it calculate real-world nautical distances?
Yes. The get_port_distance tool calculates the distance in nautical miles (NM) between two ports using established maritime routes.
Can the agent show vessel counts at ports?
Yes. The get_port_vessel_traffic tool provides real-time statistics on the number of vessels currently identified at a specific port.
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 NavAPI 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.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
