Overview

This MCP server delivers a comprehensive maritime situation dashboard specifically for the Strait of Hormuz region. It features two interactive Leaflet map widgets showing live AIS vessel positions, port locations, and disruption zones, plus three JSON tools for querying detailed maritime data. The server fuses IMF PortWatch chokepoint statistics with live vessel positions to create a tactical overview that can be queried through natural language interfaces like Claude or ChatGPT.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Monitor maritime traffic and security situation in the Strait of Hormuz in real-time

you:Analyze port traffic patterns and vessel movements across critical chokepoints

you:Query maritime disruption events and alert status for strategic decision making

you:What data sources does this MCP server use?

you:Is this suitable for commercial use?

When to choose this

Choose Hormuz Watch for specialized maritime situational awareness of the Strait of Hormuz with visual map interfaces and real-time AIS tracking capabilities.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose if you need maritime data for regions outside the Strait of Hormuz, or if you require a commercial-grade AIS API (the current VesselFinder integration may be rate-limited).

To use with Claude Desktop, add to your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hormuz-strait": {

FAQ

What data sources does this MCP server use?: The server primarily uses IMF PortWatch (via ArcGIS FeatureServer) for chokepoint statistics and disruption data, and VesselFinder for live AIS vessel positions. Data is cached to improve performance.
Is this suitable for commercial use?: The current implementation uses a free, undocumented VesselFinder endpoint which may be rate-limited or break. For production deployment, the README recommends switching to a commercial AIS API like Datalastic, Spire, or VesselFinder's paid tier.
