Shiptrail
Free live AIS ship tracking: find any ship by name, MMSI or IMO, and see who is arriving at a port.
What it does
Shiptrail is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

4 tools offered to AI assistants
search_ships· Find ships by name, MMSI (9 digits) or IMO number (7 digits): every ship with a Shiptrail page, any class, on the map now or heard in the last year. Ships on the map now come first. Use get_ship with an MMSI for the whole record.get_ship· Everything Shiptrail's page shows about one ship, by MMSI: identity, size, position, speed, course and status, destination and ETA, where she came from, recent port calls, particulars and registry facts, photo and its credit, a Wikipedia susearch_ports· Find ports by name or UN/LOCODE. Busy ports come first, with how many ships are in port, en route and lately departed. Use get_port with a UN/LOCODE for its boards.get_port· A port's Arrivals board (ships in port now, then ships en route by ETA) and Departures board (ships that left in the last 48 hours), as its Shiptrail page shows them, by UN/LOCODE. Each row carries the ship's MMSI for get_ship.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
