We couldn’t confirm it starts correctly
We ran the install command but it didn't respond within our test window — this can mean a slow first-time install rather than a real problem.
npx -y container-tracking-mcpNo response to initialize.
This is an experimental automated check and can have false negatives — missing environment variables, a slow cold install, etc. It doesn’t necessarily mean something’s wrong. Last checked 5d ago.

Container Tracking MCP Server
Track ocean containers across 200+ shipping lines from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Container Tracking MCP is an ocean-freight MCP server that lets an AI assistant track a container via MCP across 225 carriers — including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, and Hapag-Lloyd. Track by container number, bill of lading, or booking number to get live milestones, vessel position, ETA, and demurrage & detention free time as DCSA-normalised events. It runs as a hosted remote server, so there is nothing to self-host.
Ask your AI: "Where is container MSCU7349821?" or "Which shipments have demurrage risk this week?"
Supported carriers & coverage
Container Tracking MCP covers 200+ ocean shipping lines (225 carriers). Top lines include:
Maersk · MSC · CMA CGM · COSCO · Hapag-Lloyd · ONE (Ocean Network Express) · Evergreen · HMM · Yang Ming · ZIM · OOCL · Wan Hai · PIL · Hyundai · SITC · KMTC · Matson · Sinokor · Heung-A · Namsung — and 200+ more.
Every carrier is normalised to the DCSA ocean-tracking event standard, so a milestone from any line looks the same to your AI client. Track by:
- Container number (e.g.
MSCU7349821) - Bill of lading number
- Booking number
You get: live milestone events, current vessel name + IMO, live AIS vessel position, ETA with a confidence percentage, demurrage & detention free-time countdown, and port congestion signals.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
getShipmentSummary | Portfolio overview: total active containers, exceptions, arriving soon, and demurrage risk. Use first to see what needs attention. |
getContainerDetail | Full status for one container: current location, route, ETA with confidence %, carrier, vessel name + IMO, complete event history, and an AI-generated narrative. |
getVesselPosition | Live AIS position for a vessel: latitude, longitude, speed over ground, heading, and navigational status (by IMO). |
getDemurrageReport | Demurrage & detention risk: which containers are near or past free days, daily rates, and projected cost if not moved. |
getPortCongestion | Congestion at one or more ports by UN/LOCODE: average vessel wait time, vessels at anchor, and level (low/moderate/high/severe). |
addContainer | Start tracking a new container ID or bill of lading. First status update arrives within ~15 minutes; optional tags organise by client, project, or urgency. |
