README

VesselAPI MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes maritime data from the VesselAPI to AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude Code.

Prerequisites

Sign up at dashboard.vesselapi.com
Create an API token in your dashboard
Use the token as VESSELAPI_API_KEY in the configuration below

Resources: Documentation | API Explorer | Dashboard | Contact Support

Features

23 tools covering vessels, ports, location search, emissions, and maritime safety
Vessel search, positions (single and batch), ETA, classification, ownership, emissions, inspections, and casualties
Port search, details, port events (arrivals/departures), and global port event search
Geographic vessel search (bounding box and radius)
NAVTEX maritime safety messages
Manual pagination to control API quota usage

Hosted deployment

A hosted deployment is available on Fronteir AI.

Quick Start

No installation required — just configure your AI client with npx:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vesselapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "vesselapi-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VESSELAPI_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Add the JSON above to the config file for your client:

Client	Config file
Claude Desktop	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows)
Cursor	`.cursor/mcp.json` or `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
Claude Code	`.claude/settings.json` or `~/.claude/settings.json`
Windsurf	`~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
