Maersk Shipping

Maersk Shipping MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Maersk container shipping APIs as an MCP: shipment tracking by container/waybill, waybill document lookup, ocean products, locations, vessel schedules, port calls and deadlines — api.maersk.com with Basic/Bearer integration auth.

7 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Maersk — the world's largest container line — and its official Integration Hub APIs as a single MCP server.

What you can do

  • Track shipments — live milestones (gate-in, loaded, discharged, gate-out), current positions and ETAs by container number, bill of lading or your own reference
  • Waybill lookup — the classic document lookup by carrier SCAC (MAEU) + waybill number: parties, ports, containers
  • Ocean products — bookable sailings between two locations with vessels, transit times and schedules
  • Vessels & port calls — vessel metadata, IMONumber schedules, arrival/departure records per port
  • Deadlines — documentation, VGM, gate-in, demurrage and detention cut-offs per shipment

Authentication (from the Maersk Integration Hub)

  1. Create an account at developer.maersk.com (the 'Maersk Integration Hub')
  2. Create an app/integration and subscribe it to the products you need (Shipment Tracking, Shipping Documents, Ocean Products, Vessel Schedules, Port Calls, Deadlines)
  3. Copy the issued Consumer Key + Consumer Secret (and optionally a pre-minted Bearer token and your customer code) into this MCP's credentials

The gateway (api.maersk.com) accepts HTTP Basic (consumer key:secret) or Bearer tokens; every unauthenticated call returns a structured 401 with a correlationIdentifier for Maersk support.
