How do I get access to the maritime data?

You need a Datalastic API key, which you can obtain at datalastic.com. Once you have it, you can add it to this MCP on Vinkius.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I track the historical movement of a ship?

Yes, the capability allows you to retrieve historical AIS tracking paths and location data for specific vessels.

Does this provide port information?

Yes, you can search for ports by name or country and retrieve their exact coordinates and UN/LOCODEs.

Can I find ships in a specific area?

Yes, you can use the capability to find all active vessels currently located within a specific circular radius.

Can I track a ship using its name?

Yes! Use the search_maritime_vessels capability 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 capability with the 2-letter ISO country code. The response will list ports in that country along with their official UN/LOCODEs.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Datalastic to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Datalastic works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Datalastic to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Datalastic, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Datalastic. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
