port_search
Pack: imf-portwatch · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/imf-portwatch/mcp
Search the PortWatch port database (1,500+ ports globally) by name, country, or ISO3. Returns matching ports with country, continent, latitude/longitude, annual vessel counts by cargo type, top industries, and the port’s share of the country’s maritime imports/exports. Useful for identifying which ports would be affected by a country-level disruption, or finding the LOCODE / portid for a named port.
