Sailing Schedule MCP Server

Compare ocean sailing schedules, transit times, and carrier on-time reliability across 60+ carriers from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

SchedulesMCP is an ocean-freight sailing-schedule MCP server that lets an AI assistant find sailings and rank shipping lines before you book. It covers 60+ carriers, 72,000+ forward sailings, and 5,000+ point-to-point lanes across 255 ports. Carrier reliability is derived from observed actual-vs-scheduled arrivals across 4,200+ scored ocean port calls — not carrier promises. It runs as a hosted remote server, so there is nothing to self-host.

Ask your AI: "Compare Shanghai→Rotterdam carriers by reliability" or "What's the median transit time for Maersk on CNSHA→USLAX?"

Coverage

• 60+ ocean carriers ranked head-to-head on any lane (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, Hapag-Lloyd, ONE, Evergreen, HMM, Yang Ming, ZIM, and more)

• 72,000+ forward sailings — observed and derived upcoming departures

• 5,000+ point-to-point lanes across 255 ports (UN/LOCODE)

• On-time reliability scored from 4,200+ observed actual-vs-scheduled port calls, with median / p90 transit-time distributions

Sister product to TrackingMCP (ocean container tracking) and LoadingMCP (container load planning).

Replace smcp_demo_public with a key from your dashboard for full coverage. Don't add "type": "streamable-http" — Claude Desktop rejects unknown config fields; Cursor/Windsurf infer transport from url. Registry ID: io.github.lxxmng/ocean-schedules.
