USDA Food Access

com.olyport/usda-food

This connects Claude to USDA food security and agricultural data through a streamable HTTP endpoint. You get SNAP participation rates, food insecurity indicators, food environment risk profiles, and agricultural statistics from USDA NASS, all queryable by geography. It's built on Census ACS data combined with USDA sources, so you can pull county or tract level food access metrics without juggling multiple federal APIs yourself. Reach for this when you're analyzing food deserts, mapping SNAP coverage, or building anything that needs to understand local food systems and agricultural production. Free tier gives you 100 calls per day, which covers most prototyping and light production use.
