What is the SafeCube Container Tracking MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire maritime logistics and container auditing workflow with SafeCube, the comprehensive source for real-time shipment data. By connecting the SafeCube API to your agent, you transform complex tracking searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve container positions, audit active shipment statuses, and query historical tracking events without you ever touching a logistics dashboard. Whether you are managing supply chain visibility or monitoring regional port delays, your agent acts as a real-time maritime consultant, ensuring your data is always precise and up-to-the-minute.
What you can do
- Container Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution tracking details for any maritime container by number, including status and vessel metadata.
- Shipment Oversight — Audit all active shipments in your account to maintain a clear view of global logistics and scale.
- Event Discovery — Retrieve detailed tracking events for specific shipment IDs to understand the temporal distribution of logistics milestones instantly.
- Logistics Intelligence — Query real-time ETA and position markers to assist in deep-dive supply chain classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your maritime tracking workflow is always operational.

VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my SafeCube API Key?
Log in to your SafeCube account, navigate to the 'API' or 'Integrations' section in your dashboard, and generate a new Bearer Token. Copy and paste it below.
What container formats are supported?
The API supports standard 11-character BIC codes (e.g., TCNU1234567) used by global maritime shipping lines.
Can the agent show real-time ETAs?
Yes. The get_container_tracking tool retrieves the current Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) metadata for specified containers.
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.
