Datalastic Vessel Tracking & Maritime Intelligence
Datalastic MCP Server
Official MCP server for Datalastic — real-time vessel tracking, port data, marine weather, and maritime intelligence for any MCP-compatible AI client.
The server is hosted at mcp.datalastic.com — no local installation required.
What it does
25 tools across six categories:
- Live vessel positions — track ships in real time by MMSI, IMO, or name
- Vessel registry — specs, dimensions, flag, and tonnage for 750,000+ vessels
- Port data — global port and terminal directory with UN/LOCODEs
- Area search — all vessels currently within a radius of any point or port
- Marine weather — current conditions and 7-day forecasts at any location
- Maritime intelligence (Maritime Reports add-on) — ownership, inspections, casualties, dry dock, engine specs, sale & purchase transactions, schematic sea routes, and estimated open-ocean positions
Getting started
Sign in with your Datalastic account (recommended)
No API key needed. Add https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp as a remote server in your client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"datalastic": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp"
}
}
}
When you connect, your client opens a browser window to sign in with your Datalastic account — approve and you're connected.
API key
Sign up at datalastic.com/pricing, then add the X-Api-Key header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"datalastic": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://mcp.datalastic.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-Api-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Per-client configuration examples (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI) are in the GitHub repo.
