No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/gfwfish_events for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Global Fishing Watch vessel events over a date range — apparent fishing, encounters between vessels at sea, loitering, port visits and AIS gaps (transmission switched off). Each event carries its position, start/end time and the vessels involved. Answers “where was this vessel fishing”, “did it meet another vessel at sea”, “did it go dark”. Requires your own free GFW API token, passed as _apiKey.
