SchedulesMCP — Ocean Schedules & Carrier Reliability MCP Server

Compare ocean carrier sailing schedules, transit times, and on-time reliability before you book — 60+ carriers, 72,000+ forward sailings across 5,000+ lanes and 255 ports — straight from your AI client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client).

A sister product to TrackingMCP. Reliability is derived from observed actual-vs-scheduled arrivals across 4,200+ scored ocean port calls — not carrier promises.

This repo is the public MCP server for schedulesmcp.com. It runs as a remote Streamable HTTP server; you don't need to host it. Use the public demo key to try it with no signup.

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with a key from your dashboard, or use the public demo key smcp_demo_public for synthetic demo data (no signup). Don't add "type": "streamable-http" — Claude Desktop rejects unknown config fields; Cursor/Windsurf infer transport from url.
