## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability port-congestion-oracle-mcp-aa694f05 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check the current congestion level and expected vessel wait times at the Port of Shanghai? I need to know if there are significant delays before I schedule a shipment for next week.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or predictive port congestion intelligence to inform shipping decisions, supply chain scheduling, or logistics routing. It is best suited for queries about vessel wait times, port backlogs, and delay forecasts at major container ports. Prefer this over generic shipping APIs when the specific question is about congestion levels rather than vessel tracking or freight booking.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or misspelled port name returns an error or empty result
- Vague or ambiguous data input may produce generic or no congestion data
- Service may return stale data if real-time feeds are unavailable
- Missing required data field in request body returns a validation error
- Highly niche or small ports may have limited or no congestion data

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns congestion status information for the queried port, including current congestion level indicators, estimated vessel wait or dwell times, backlog severity, and potentially predictive delay forecasts — giving supply chain agents the intelligence needed to route or schedule shipments effectively.
