Container Tracking MCP
This connects Claude and ChatGPT to real-time container shipping data through a streamable HTTP interface. You get vessel positions, demurrage risk assessments, and port congestion metrics without having to wrangle multiple logistics APIs yourself. Reach for this when you're building supply chain tools, automating freight workflows, or need to surface shipping delays and associated costs in your AI applications. The dual transport support (streamable HTTP and SSE) means you can integrate it whether you need request-response patterns or live streaming updates as vessel positions change.

Container Tracking MCP Server
Track ocean containers across 200+ shipping lines from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Container Tracking MCP is an ocean-freight MCP server that lets an AI assistant track a container via MCP across 225 carriers — including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, and Hapag-Lloyd. Track by container number, bill of lading, or booking number to get live milestones, vessel position, ETA, and demurrage & detention free time as DCSA-normalised events. It runs as a hosted remote server, so there is nothing to self-host.
Ask your AI: "Where is container MSCU7349821?" or "Which shipments have demurrage risk this week?"
Supported carriers & coverage
Container Tracking MCP covers 200+ ocean shipping lines (225 carriers). Top lines include:
