An experiential testbed showcasing the possibilities of OCEANS-X with AI through MCP, turning raw maritime APIs into interactive conversations, movement replays, and automated maritime workflows.
MCP
Put an AI agent over OCEANS-X data so anyone can ask about vessel movements in plain words and get structured answers back. chatPort's AI Chat Assistant is the live reference build.
Wire OCEANS-X position data through MCP into your own monitoring tools — plot live vessel movements, overlay weather, and replay a vessel's track. chatPort's Vessel Map is the reference build.
An AI agent chains OCEANS-X's vessel, schedule and clearance MCP servers to hand ship agents a pre-filled Pre-Arrival Notification (PAN) and General Declaration (GD) — for more streamlined submissions.
Built on the open Model Context Protocol — the same standard used to connect AI assistants to external tools across the industry. The OCEANS-X MCP integration shown here is an early research preview, not a production service.
OCEANS-X exposes live maritime data as APIs. What sets this apart from a standard integration is the AI agent in the middle — it reasons over those tools through the Model Context Protocol, turning a plain-English request into the right sequence of calls. Each use case above is a different endpoint of the same chain.
Live vessel positions, schedule details, and port clearance, exposed as APIs.
The Model Context Protocol wraps those APIs as standardized tools an AI agent can call — the same idea others now market as “connectors”.
An AI agent interprets a request, decides which tools to call, and turns the results into a structured answer or action.
The use cases above — the chat assistant, live maps, and pre-filled port clearance — are all endpoints of this same chain.
chatPort is a prototype that explores what becomes possible when the OCEANS-X platform is connected to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It started as a way to ask about vessel movements in plain English, and grew into a small set of references for how the same data can power live maps and streamline port clearance.
The chat assistant is open to everyone. The Vessel Map and MCP Workflow Explorer are available for demo — tell us a little about what you want to explore and we'll be in touch.
