FAOSTAT MCP

Overview

FAOSTAT MCP brings agricultural and food security data from 245 countries into your AI workflow. The server exposes 21 MCP tools for querying crops, trade, food security metrics, and emissions data directly from the FAO database. Instead of manual lookups, your AI assistant can call these tools to research production trends, trade flows, and environmental impacts in real time.

The server runs locally on your machine via the Python package faostat-mcp, installed with uvx faostat-mcp. It communicates with your MCP client over stdio and requires an API key for authentication. Version 1.2.2 is the latest release, published under the MIT license with full source code available at berba-q/faostat-mcp on GitHub.

FAOSTAT MCP is listed in the Security category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
