You can access MarineTraffic vessel tracking data through an MCP server that exposes practical tools to retrieve real-time vessel positions, vessel details, searches, and area-based vessel lists. This server lets you plug MarineTraffic data into MCP clients and automate queries for fleets, port visits, and voyage analyses.

How to use

To use this MCP server, connect your MCP client to the local stdio server configuration. Run the server locally and point your client to the node process that serves the MCP index. Use the available tools to fetch vessel information, search vessels by name or identifier, retrieve individual vessel positions or details, and obtain lists of vessels within a geographic area. You can combine these tools to build workflows that monitor fleets, track specific vessels, or generate area-based vessel inventories.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js 18 or higher and a MarineTraffic API key.
