Aether-X Port Delay Intelligence

aetherx-mcp — Port Congestion, Maritime Logistics & Supply Chain MCP Server

Aether-X is an MCP server for the Aether-X Port Congestion Oracle that gives any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, custom LLM agents) port congestion, maritime delay, vessel queue and supply-chain risk signals for global trade — answered in plain language for simple queries ("is Rotterdam delayed?") and in USD exposure for decision-grade workflows (demurrage, charter risk, fiscal arbitrage across routes).

Keywords: maritime, shipping, vessels, ports, port congestion, demurrage, freight, logistics, supply chain, ETA delay, vessel queue, chokepoints, Suez, Panama, trade lanes, cargo, quantitative finance.

DATA INTEGRITY NOTICE: Brazilian ports (BRSSZ Santos, BRPNG Paranaguá, BRRIO Rio de Janeiro) feed live operational line-ups (data_source="live:appa+santos+lachmann"); Niterói (BRNIT) and Itaguaí (BRITG) together with Rio de Janeiro feed live line-up from SILOG PortosRio (data_source="live:portosrio_silog"). The remaining ports serve a static reference seed (data_source="static_reference_seed"). Every tool result includes data_source and as_of. The 24/48/72h trend is a synthetic projection, not a live forecast. Seed values are NOT real-time field data.

Install

pip install aetherx-mcp
# or run without installing (recommended for MCP clients):
uvx aetherx-mcp

Tools

Tool	Arguments	Returns
get_port_operations_status	port_id (UN/LOCODE)	Plain-language status (NORMAL / CONGESTED), delay, waiting vessels, source provenance + optional decision-layer upsell — free observation
get_port_risk	port_id (UN/LOCODE)	Congestion score, ETA delay, waiting vessels, freight volatility, daily demurrage estimate
get_ports_risk	port_ids (list)	Same, for a whole portfolio, fetched in parallel
get_port_trend	port_id (UN/LOCODE)	24h / 48h / 72h congestion projection + trend label (acelerando / estável / descongestionando)
list_supported_ports	—	The 35 ports & chokepoints (id, name, country)

Every response is a typed payload:

{
  "port_id": "BRSSZ",
  "port_name": "Santos",
  "country": "Brasil",
  "congestion_score": 0.78,
  "eta_delay_days": 1.6,
  "waiting_vessels": 12,
  "freight_volatility_index": 0.42,
  "estimated_daily_demurrage_usd": 63200,
  "updated_at": "2026-09-17 15:46:53"
}

Configuration

Variable	Default	Description
RAPIDAPI_KEY	—	When set, requests are routed through the RapidAPI gateway (metered billing)
RAPIDAPI_HOST	aether-x-port-congestion-oracle.p.rapidapi.com	RapidAPI host
AETHERX_BASE_URL	https://aetherx.aether-grid.io	Direct API base URL

Without RAPIDAPI_KEY, the server calls the public production API directly.

Example agent prompts

• "Is the port of Santos delayed right now?" (→ get_port_operations_status)
• "Where is my cargo stuck? What's the waiting time at Paranaguá?" (→ get_port_operations_status)
• "What's the congestion risk at Rotterdam over the next 3 days?" (→ get_port_trend, forecast_vessel_queue_delays)
• "Rank these ports by congestion: BRSSZ, CNSHA, NLRTM, USLAX." (→ get_ports_risk)
• "How many ships are waiting at Shanghai?" (→ get_port_state, get_port_operations_status)
• "Which route minimizes demurrage + fiscal cost for my fertilizer cargo to MT?" (→ evaluate_fiscal_routing, requires M2M key)
