MRC Data — China's Apparel Supply Chain Infrastructure

ai.meacheal/mrc-data

This connects Claude to a specialized dataset of China's apparel manufacturing ecosystem through a streamable HTTP transport. You get access to structured information on over 1,000 suppliers, 350+ fabric types, and 170+ production clusters, all formatted for AI consumption. The server runs multiple endpoints including REST, OpenAPI specs, and an agent card for discovery. Reach for this when you're building supply chain tools, sourcing applications, or need to ground LLM responses in real apparel manufacturing data from China. The API requires application approval based on the apply endpoint, so it's gated rather than open access.
