Maritime does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.4% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 16

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

shipping

shipping_chokepoint

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_country_flows

Trade partners for a specific country (who they export to / import from). Pass the country as `country` or `query`.

shipping_doc_intel

Query the shipping document intelligence layer: eBL platform adoption (12 platforms), MLETR country adoption (23 countries, 13 enacted), document fraud cases ($11.3B), DCSA standards (10), industry stats (26 metrics). The state of shipping document digitization.

shipping_emissions

Query EU MRV vessel emissions data — CO2, fuel consumption, time at sea for 22,543 vessels (2018-2024). Search by IMO, ship type, or year — or a free-text `query` (7-digit = IMO, else ship type/name).

shipping_fleet

Query tanker fleet database. Accepts structured filters OR a free-text `query` (matches vessel name, IMO, owner, or type).

shipping_freshness

Per-dataset freshness only: pipeline refresh age vs expected cadence, newest record age, source, and status (ok / lagging / stale / empty / unknown). Use before relying on a figure that must be current.

shipping_oil_prices

Get oil price benchmarks (WTI, Brent)

shipping_oil_trade

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_port

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`.

shipping_port_calls

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_coverage

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.

shipping_sanctioned_at_eu

Find sanctioned vessels that called at EU/EEA ports. Cross-references OFAC sanctions with EU MRV emissions data (verifiable IMO-level identity). Filter by year or a free-text `query` (sanctions program e.g. "Iran"/"Russia", flag, or vessel name).

shipping_sanctions

Check vessel/entity against OFAC sanctions

shipping_status

Database statistics plus per-dataset freshness: how recently each dataset was refreshed by our pipeline, how old its newest record is, and whether it is ok / lagging / stale / empty. Call this to decide how much to trust anything else this server returns.

shipping_top_exporters

Top oil exporting countries by value/volume (a ranking — no query needed). Optional `product` or `query` recognizes a product keyword (crude/refined/lng/coal/iron_ore).

shipping_vessel_types

Fleet breakdown by vessel type

Maritime — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Maritime do?

It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: shipping_chokepoint, shipping_country_flows, shipping_doc_intel, shipping_emissions, shipping_fleet, shipping_freshness and 10 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 Maritime 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 422 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Maritime still maintained?

The author archived this repository on GitHub, meaning it is no longer maintained. 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 Maritime?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Maritime need an API key?

No. Maritime completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Maritime?

It answers our handshake in 422 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 Maritime open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
