Available tools 12

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

carrier
carrier_league
Carrier league table — ocean carriers ranked by overall on-time reliability across all tracked lanes.
carrier_reliability
On-time performance and delay distribution for a specific carrier (by SCAC), optionally on a given lane.
port
port_congestion
Fused port-congestion signal for a port (UN/LOCODE): effective level (mild/moderate/severe), expected added wait in days (for ETA-band widening), a 0–1 confidence, and per-source detail — weiyun broad-AIS analysis + IMF PortWatch throughput + our own AIS wait/density.
port_reliability
Congestion and dwell signals for a port (UN/LOCODE) — average wait and vessels at anchor.
active
active_cyclones
Live tropical cyclones (typhoons/hurricanes) currently active on ocean trade lanes — name, basin, category, center position, max wind, pressure and movement, from CMA (NW-Pacific) + NHC (Atlantic/E-Pacific) + JTWC (Indian/Southern Hemisphere) + GDACS (global). Use this to see which storms are at sea right now.
best
find_best_sailings
Decision query: the best upcoming sailings on a lane, ONE per carrier (next bookable departure), ranked. Filter by date window, max transit days, min on-time reliability, cut-off still open, and direct-vs-transshipment. Use this to answer "what should I book?".
compare
compare_lanes
Compare ocean carriers serving an origin→destination port pair, ranked by on-time reliability and transit time. Use this to decide which line to book.
lane
lane_storm_exposure
Whether an origin→destination ocean lane currently passes through an active cyclone's forecast gale field (a "storm-exposed" sailing at risk of weather delay). Omit ports to list every exposed lane.
sailings
find_sailings
Observed and derived upcoming departures on an origin→destination lane, with carrier and frequency.
schedules
get_schedules
Published forward sailing schedules on an origin→destination lane: carrier, vessel, voyage, ETD/ETA and cut-offs, soonest first. Sourced from carrier connectors (and aggregator coverage). Use this to find concrete upcoming departures to book.
transit
transit_time
Observed transit-time distribution (median / p90, in days) for a carrier on an origin→destination lane.
watch
watch_lane
Watch a lane for schedule alerts (PAID): get emailed when a sailing on it is blanked, a booking cut-off is about to close, or a sailing slips. Also alerts on reliability drops. Returns the created watch.

Ocean Schedules — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ocean Schedules do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: active_cyclones, carrier_league, carrier_reliability, compare_lanes, find_best_sailings, find_sailings and 6 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Ocean Schedules mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around carrier and port. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Ocean Schedules working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 234 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Ocean Schedules still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Ocean Schedules?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Ocean Schedules need an API key?
No. Ocean Schedules completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Ocean Schedules?
It answers our handshake in 234 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
