Vesselapi Mcp
This server connects Claude to VesselAPI's maritime intelligence platform with 23 tools covering vessel tracking, port operations, and emissions data. You can search vessels by IMO or MMSI, pull real-time positions and ETAs, query port arrivals and departures, get inspection records and casualties, and search by geography using bounding boxes or radius queries. It also surfaces NAVTEX safety messages and supports batch position lookups. Reach for this when you need to monitor shipping movements, analyze port traffic patterns, track vessel compliance history, or build maritime logistics workflows. Requires a VesselAPI key from their dashboard. Manual pagination keeps you in control of API quota usage.
