This one needs environment variables set before it will start: VESSEL_MCP_TRANSPORT (Run the package as a local stdio MCP server.), VESSEL_MCP_ENABLE_PUBLIC_PROVIDERS (Optional comma-separated public providers to enable at runtime.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Vessel Traffic MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Vessel Traffic MCP?

Vessel Traffic MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @tools-mcp/vessel-traffic-mcp was installed 38 times last week.

How do I connect Vessel Traffic MCP?

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 runs locally, so the command pulls @tools-mcp/vessel-traffic-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Vessel Traffic MCP?

The npm package @tools-mcp/vessel-traffic-mcp was installed 38 times in the last week. Week over week that is +28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Vessel Traffic MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript, 6 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
