Vessel tracking API — live ship positions.
Live vessel positions from AIS — name, type, speed and coordinates, updated continuously.
The call
Keyless over MCP, or one REST call with a free key. Every datapoint is provenance-stamped and citeable.
# REST (free key)
curl -H "X-API-Key: $KEY" "https://dynamicfeed.ai/shipping?scope=vessels"
# MCP (keyless) — point any client at https://dynamicfeed.ai/mcp, then call:
shipping_status(scope="vessels")Sample response
{ "name": "EXAMPLE VESSEL", "mmsi": 123456789, "lat": 59.3, "lon": 24.1,
"speed_kn": 12.4, "observed_at": "2026-06-03T13:00:00Z" }Why live data
Maritime positions are pure post-cutoff state. This streams live AIS so logistics and trade agents work from current positions, not last year's.
Use it for
- Logistics and supply-chain agents
- Port and traffic monitoring
- Trade-flow dashboards
