Frequently asked questions

How do I connect the SchedulesMCP MCP server?

Point any MCP client at the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.schedulesmcp.com/mcp and pass an Authorization: Bearer header with your key. In Claude Desktop, add it under mcpServers using npx mcp-remote; Cursor and Windsurf accept the URL form natively. Use the public demo key smcp_demo_public to try it with no signup.

Which MCP clients work with SchedulesMCP?

Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code all work, as does any custom agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP.

What tools does the MCP server expose?

Twelve tools: compare_lanes ranks carriers on a lane; carrier_reliability returns on-time % and delay distribution; transit_time gives observed median and p90 transit; find_sailings lists upcoming departures; get_schedules returns published forward sailings with vessel, voyage, ETD/ETA and cut-offs; find_best_sailings ranks the best upcoming sailing per carrier with filters; watch_lane sets schedule alerts on a lane (paid); port_reliability returns congestion and dwell signals; carrier_league is an overall on-time reliability league table; port_congestion gives a fused congestion level with expected added wait; active_cyclones lists live tropical cyclones on trade lanes; and lane_storm_exposure checks whether a lane crosses an active cyclone's gale field.

Do I need an API key to try it?

No. The public demo key smcp_demo_public returns sample data so you can test your connection with no signup. The lane search on the website's Compare page is live real data, and your own key from the dashboard gives that same live coverage across every lane and carrier over MCP and the API.
