Available tools 9

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

series
query_series
Fetch the observations of a series. Periods that fall inside a suspension are withheld and counted, never silently dropped. If the whole requested span is suspended the call fails with the reason and the finding reference.
search_series
Find series by plain-language terms across names, descriptions, instruments and units.
agreement
check_agreement
What the cross-instrument checks say. Trimtab runs independent instruments against each other; where they disagree, one is wrong. Returns the recorded checks touching a series, their latest result, and any resulting suspension.
describe
describe_series
Full detail for one series: what it measures, its unit, its source and method, how it should be cited, what it covers, and its current trust state.
gateway
gateway_conditions
Current conditions at monitored container gateways: vessels at berth and at anchor, broken down by vessel class (container / bulk-general / tanker / other), with container-terminal breakdown. Own-recorded AIS; coverage disclosed in every response.
has
has_vessel_berthed
Whether a vessel has berthed (moored) at any monitored gateway within a lookback window. Returns the berthing event(s) with timestamps and terminal when known.
instruments
list_instruments
The catalogue: every Trimtab instrument and the series it publishes, with provenance grade (observed / reported / modelled), time horizon, coverage, and whether each series is currently fit to publish. Start here.
recent
recent_events
Recent detected events (ZONE_ENTER/LEAVE, ANCHOR_START/END, BERTH_START/END, DEPARTED, SEMANTIC_NOTE) at monitored gateways.
vessel
vessel_status
Last observed status of a vessel by name (partial ok) or MMSI: position, physical state (underway/anchored/moored), zone, terminal if berthed at a known container terminal, speed, declared destination.

Trimtab Ais — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Trimtab Ais do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_agreement, describe_series, gateway_conditions, has_vessel_berthed, list_instruments, query_series and 3 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 →
Is Trimtab Ais 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 426 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Trimtab Ais?
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 Trimtab Ais need an API key?
No. Trimtab Ais completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Trimtab Ais?
It answers our handshake in 426 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Trimtab Ais open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
