FAOSTAT MCP
Pipes the entire FAOSTAT REST API into your MCP client as 21 callable tools. You get direct access to UN data on crop yields, trade flows, food security indicators, and agricultural emissions across 245 countries from 1961 onward. Ships with three-tier caching (in-memory, SQLite, optional Redis) and built-in rate limiting so you don't hammer FAO's servers. The `faostat_setup` tool stores credentials in your system keychain, so you authenticate once and forget about it. Install via PyPI or the MCP registry, then ask Claude or Cursor natural language questions about global agriculture stats without writing a single API call yourself.
