Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).
claude mcp add --transport http ais-trail 'https://api.aistrail.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. "Bearer <your AIS Trail API key>" for the archive tools (vessel_track, vessel_port_calls, port_calls, vessel_events, lookup_vessels). The live tools work without it.>'{

AIS Trail MCP server
Ship data for AI assistants: live AIS positions, vessel history, port calls, vessel events and sanctions flags. A hosted, read-only MCP server; there is nothing to install.
- Endpoint:
https://api.aistrail.com/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Registry name:
com.aistrail/ais - Docs: https://aistrail.com/docs/mcp/
This repository holds the documentation for the hosted server. The server runs at AIS Trail.
Connect
The live tools work without a key. The archive tools need an AIS Trail API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>. You can get one at https://aistrail.com (the Free plan includes one).
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http aistrail https://api.aistrail.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $AIS_TRAIL_KEY"Clients that take a JSON config (VS Code, Cursor and others):
{
"servers": {
"aistrail": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.aistrail.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_AIS_TRAIL_KEY" }
}
}
}Leave out headers to use only the live tools.
