Ship Intelligence MCP

An MCP server providing signed global shipping and commodity data, including sanctions screening, vessel emissions, oil and LNG trade flows, and chokepoint status. It offers tools for querying OFAC/UN sanctions, EU port calls, AIS coverage, and fleet rankings, with cryptographic verification of data integrity.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

shipping_oil_trade
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Query bilateral oil trade flows (EIA US imports/exports + Eurostat). Accepts structured filters OR a free-text `query` (matches country/notes). NOTE: this is import/export flow data, NOT chokepoint throughput — for Hormuz transit volumes use shipping_chokepoint.

shipping_chokepoint
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Maritime chokepoint intelligence for Hormuz, Suez, Malacca, or Bab el-Mandeb. Returns authoritative EIA baseline throughput (barrels/day, % of global), a live AIS snapshot (vessels/tankers/moving/stationary) for the chokepoint, sanctioned vessels currently detected there, and dark-fleet behavioural signals (loitering + AIS gaps). This is the tool for "how is Hormuz doing".

    }
  }
}
shipping_port
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

What this service holds about ONE port, and how good the evidence is. Returns NGA World Port Index identity (UN/LOCODE, coordinates, harbour class, channel/anchorage/pier depths), the evidence grade for our movement data (origin = the authority publishes its own board / custody = a third party publishes it / measured = AIS inference only, asserted by nobody / none), what we do NOT hold, and what happened the last time we fetched the port's own website. Pass a port name, UN/LOCODE, or WPI port number as `query`.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "port": {

    },
    "unlocode": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  }
}
shipping_port_calls
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Berth-level vessel movements harvested from port authority movement boards: vessel, IMO, arrival/departure, berth, agent, declared last/next port. Each row carries its source and whether the channel was TLS-verified. This is TESTIMONY from the port, distinct from the AIS-inferred port_visits behind other tools. Pass a port name or an IMO as `query`.

shipping_port_calls input schema
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "imo": {

    "query": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Port name or 7-digit IMO"
    }
  }
}
shipping_port_coverage
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Coverage ledger across all 2,951 ports: how many we hold at each evidence grade, how many publish a machine-readable movement board, and what happened when we checked those that do not. Call this to find out what this service does NOT know about ports before relying on what it does.

  "type": "object",

  }

shipping_doc_intel
