The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect ahel onceand every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user trimtab-ais 'https://ais.trimtabist.com/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://ais.trimtabist.com/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=trimtab-ais&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Fpcy50cmltdGFiaXN0LmNvbS9tY3AifQ==

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

From the project's README

As published by mrsingh86/trimtab-ais in README.md. This repository publishes several servers, so only the opening is shown here.

What US importers actually paid at the border — free, no API key, no signup. Official duty receipts by product and origin, monthly since 2017, reconciled monthly against the US Treasury's own customs receipts (both books: assessed at entry and kept after refunds — May and June 2026 ran negative). Plus the current HTS rulebook with Federal Register citations, CBP classification rulings, HS code search, US containerised imports by origin × commodity × gateway (revision-tracked), and a frozen 2026 archive of own-recorded AIS ship movements. Every response carries its method, its provenance, and its limits, so your agent can verify instead of trust.

Published by Trimtabist — the independent observatory for US trade. 20 pre-registered ruled studies (nulls published), a public corrections log, and the whole collection pipeline open at trimtab-pipeline.

Shortened here. Read the whole README on GitHub.
