SchedulesMCP — Ocean Carrier Schedules & Reliability

# SchedulesMCP > SchedulesMCP is pre-booking ocean-freight intelligence: compare ocean carriers on any lane by transit time and **real on-time reliability** — 72,000+ tracked forward sailings from 60+ carriers across 5,000+ lanes and 255 ports, scored against 4,200+ observed port calls (134 lanes, 42 carriers, growing daily), not carrier promises — through a web app, a REST API, and a hosted MCP server built to be called by AI agents. Full agent reference: https://schedulesmcp.com/llms-full.txt · OpenAPI spec: https://schedulesmcp.com/openapi.json · Human API docs: https://schedulesmcp.com/docs SchedulesMCP answers one question for a cargo owner or forwarder: **which ocean carrier should I book on this lane, and how reliably does it actually sail?** It ranks carriers on an origin→destination pair by observed on-time reliability and transit time, derived from real arrivals rather than published schedules. It is MCP-native (callable directly by Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client), also ships a REST API, and is a sister product to [TrackingMCP](https://trackingmcp.com), whose live container tracking supplies the observed arrivals. ## Definitions - **Sailing schedule** — a carrier's planned point-to-point departures on a lane: vessel, voyage, service loop, cut-off, departure and arrival dates. - **On-time reliability (schedule reliability)** — the share of a carrier's sailings that arrive on schedule, measured from actual vs scheduled arrivals across tracked port calls. Not a carrier promise, not a survey. - **Transit time** — days from origin to destination for a sailing; SchedulesMCP reports the observed **median (p50)** and **p90**. - **p90 delay** — the delay 90% of sailings stayed within; a worst-case consistency signal that a simple average hides. - **Early-data / low-sample** — a lane with too few tracked arrivals to score honestly. SchedulesMCP labels it rather than inventing a number. ## Start here - [Compare lanes](https://sched
