What is the 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.
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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your JSONCargo API Key

Who is this for?
- Supply Chain Analysts — monitor vessel timelines and retrieve arrival metadata straight from your workflow.
- Logistics Planners — verify port locations and audit shipping patterns without manual searching.
- Trade Researchers — perform rapid audits of vessel metadata and identify relevant logistics markers through natural language.
- Operations Leads — automate maritime data querying to orchestrate cross-functional shipping teams smoothly.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my JSONCargo API Key?
Log in to your JSONCargo account, navigate to your dashboard, and you will find your API Key in the 'Access Tokens' section. Copy and paste it below.
What vessel identifiers are supported?
The API supports searching by vessel name, IMO number, and unique JSONCargo identifiers.
Does it support real-time positions?
Yes. The get_current_voyage_details tool retrieves the most recent position and status metadata for active vessels.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
