What is the VesselAPI MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime research and vessel auditing workflow with VesselAPI, the comprehensive source for global shipping data. By connecting VesselAPI to your agent, you transform complex logistics searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly track vessels by IMO number, audit upcoming port schedules, and retrieve real-time AIS positions without you ever touching a maritime dashboard. Whether you are conducting supply chain research or monitoring global trade flow, your agent acts as a real-time maritime consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and up-to-the-minute.
What you can do
- Vessel Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution details for any vessel by IMO number, including flag, type, and build metadata.
- Schedule Oversight — Audit upcoming port calls and historical schedules to maintain a clear view of maritime logistics.
- Position Intelligence — Query real-time AIS positions to understand the current geographic distribution of vessels instantly.
- Port Discovery — List global maritime ports and retrieve localized metadata to assist in geographic planning.
- Logistics Monitoring — Check API status and monitor your data usage to maintain strict control over your research volume.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my VesselAPI Key?
Log in to your VesselAPI dashboard, and you will find your API Key under the settings page. Copy and paste it below.
Does it support real-time AIS data?
Yes. The get_vessel_position tool provides the latest AIS position received for the specified vessel IMO number.
Can the agent show port schedules?
Yes. Use the get_vessel_schedules tool to retrieve upcoming port calls and arrival/departure metadata for any vessel.
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 VesselAPI 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.
