What is the 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.
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.

Why Cursor?
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.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Can I track a ship using its name?
Yes! Use the search_maritime_vessels tool with the vessel's name. It will return a list of matching ships with their MMSI numbers, which you can then use for real-time tracking.
What is an MMSI number?
MMSI stands for Maritime Mobile Service Identity. It is a unique 9-digit number used to identify a vessel's radio equipment and is the primary identifier for AIS tracking.
How can I find the official code for a port?
Use the search_ports_by_country tool with the 2-letter ISO country code. The response will list ports in that country along with their official UN/LOCODEs.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
