Query Kpler's maritime and commodities intelligence — trade flows, AIS tracking, refinery and LNG operations, freight and compliance risk — from an AI agent. Fifty-five read-only tools, OAuth sign-in with identity-only scopes, and a licence clause that restricts feeding the data to public LLMs.

Kpler Tools & Capabilities (55)

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.

Limits

  • Kpler's published licence restricts feeding its data to public LLMs. Master Agreement clause 4.5 prohibits inputting the Data into external machine learning models including public large language models for generative AI. No connector carve-out appears in that published document. An unpublished order form or addendum may vary it; we could not read one. This is the single most consequential thing on this page.
  • A shared service account breaches the named-user clause. Every authorised user must be an identifiable natural person with an individual corporate email address, and shared accounts are prohibited — so an unattended agent running on a generic account does not fit the licence.
  • No application scopes exist. The server's RFC 9728 descriptor advertises four identity claims, and the Auth0 authorization server advertises fourteen scopes, all OpenID identity claims. Nothing at the OAuth grant separates compliance data from freight data, or one product from another.
  • Kpler publishes no tool list for this server. The 55 names come from Anthropic's directory, and no vendor enumeration exists to diff them against. There is also no public source repository.
  • We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter-level detail, and no readOnlyHint, appears on this page.
  • The GraphQL tool's reach is unquantified. Its companion schema tool implies a model-composed query interface rather than a fixed lookup, but without its input schema we cannot say how wide it reaches. The underlying service documents no mutations, so the exposure is read breadth, not writes.
  • Your subscription, not the tool list, determines what works. Arbitrage, compliance, LNG and refinery data are separately licensed products. Tools covering datasets you have not bought are listed but will not serve you data.
  • Kpler disclaims accuracy and liability. Its publications disclaimer says no representation or warranty is made as to accuracy or completeness, that its work should be used as a reference rather than an absolute measure, and that it is not trading, investment or financial advice.
  • The documentation is unreadable without a browser. Every path on developers.kpler.com returns the same 3,523-byte SPA shell, to Googlebot as well as to command-line clients. There is no llms.txt, no llms-full.txt and no machine-readable sitemap — those paths return the shell too, with HTTP 200, so a status check alone reads as success. We could not read the MCP tutorial or the privacy-and-security page that Anthropic's directory nominates.
  • Rate limits below the gateway are unknown. The 5,000-per-minute ceiling is Kong's, observed in response headers. Kpler's maritime GraphQL service separately documents 60 requests per minute per token, so per-dataset quotas are tighter than the gateway suggests.

Frequently asked questions

No tool in the listing writes. All fifty-five names Anthropic publishes begin with kpler_get_, and Anthropic records the connector's permissions as read only, with Kpler's own listing text stating the connector cannot modify any data in Kpler's systems. Kpler publishes no tool list of its own, so this rests on the directory and Kpler's description rather than a schema we read.

Read your own contract before assuming yes. Clause 4.5 of Kpler's published Master Agreement says customers shall not input the Data into external machine learning models, including public large language models for generative AI, excepting internal models for internal purposes. Kpler ships this connector for Claude and ChatGPT, so your order form presumably varies that clause. Confirm it in writing.

Only identity claims, which draw no line around the data. On 2026-08-22 the server's RFC 9728 descriptor advertised openid, profile, offline_access and email, and Kpler's Auth0 authorization server advertised fourteen scopes that are all OpenID identity claims. Nothing at the consent screen separates one dataset from another, so entitlements are enforced by your subscription instead.

The developer portal renders entirely in the browser. Every path on developers.kpler.com returns the same 3,523-byte application shell, including the MCP tutorial, robots.txt and the sitemap, and it serves that identical shell to Googlebot. The tutorial prose lives in a content API the page calls after loading, so command-line tools and many crawlers see nothing.

Fifty-five are listed, and your subscription decides how many answer. Kpler licenses separate products — arbitrage analytics, compliance screening, LNG and refinery data each sit behind their own commercial module — and its Master Agreement grants access only to Services named in your order form. Expect tools covering datasets you have not bought to fail rather than return data.

Yes, and the gateway states them on every response. An unauthenticated request on 2026-08-22 returned ratelimit-limit and x-ratelimit-limit-minute headers both set to 5000, with a ratelimit-reset countdown, so the published ceiling is 5,000 requests per minute. That is the gateway's limit; individual Kpler datasets behind it may impose tighter quotas that we could not observe.

It reaches commercial-entity records rather than consumer data, but people appear in them. Kpler documents vessel ownership covering beneficial owner, registered owner, commercial manager, operator and technical manager, and its compliance product screens vessels and counterparties against OFAC, OFSI and EU sanctions lists. Sanctions and ownership records routinely name individuals, so treat results as regulated personal data.

Kpler says no. Its publications disclaimer states its work should be used as a reference rather than an absolute measure, that its content does not constitute recommendations to buy, sell or hold, and that it should not be relied on as trading, investment, tax, legal or financial advice. It disclaims liability for losses entirely, and an LLM adds its own paraphrasing error on top.
