How to Use the EOSDA MCP in Claude

Q: How do I add new farm boundaries to EOSDA using Claude Desktop?

You pass a GeoJSON polygon to the createfield tool, which is part of this EOSDA MCP Server. Claude Desktop communicates with the EOSDA API to register the boundary, calculate the exact acreage, and start active satellite tracking.

Q: Can Claude Desktop display visual vegetation maps from EOSDA?

Yes, the renderindexmap tool generates base64-encoded PNG images of your fields. Claude Desktop renders these visual files directly in your conversation history so you can see crop health variations.

Q: What satellite indices can I analyze with EOSDA on Claude Desktop?

You can call getvegetationindex to fetch statistics on over 17 different agricultural indices. Your agent analyzes NDVI, EVI, and NDRE values to evaluate canopy density and chlorophyll levels.

Q: How often does the satellite imagery update?

The getsatelliteimagery tool pulls metadata and download links from Sentinel-2 and Landsat missions. Updates depend on satellite orbit schedules, typically yielding fresh imagery every three to five days depending on cloud cover.

Feed EOSDA satellite imagery and soil data directly to Claude Desktop to run field-level crop analysis right inside your chat window.

Perplexity

Map and analyze crop fields with this MCP Server

`create_field` registers your agricultural boundaries into the EOSDA database using coordinates sent directly from your Claude Desktop chat. You get back precise acreage calculations and monitoring activation statuses inside Claude Desktop without opening an external browser. Your agent uses `get_fields` via this EOSDA-configured MCP Server to list your active boundaries and current crop stages in your conversation window. It eliminates the friction of copying farm coordinates back and forth when you need to inspect crop health on Claude Desktop.

Track moisture and weather from your desktop

`get_soil_moisture` pulls surface and root-zone moisture metrics directly into Claude Desktop to help you schedule field irrigation. Claude Desktop processes these physical EOSDA soil metrics alongside historical weather trends to flag immediate crop drought risks. Combining these crop readings with `get_weather_data` and `get_weather_forecast` gives your Claude Desktop agent the raw numbers to construct 15-day localized charts. You see exact precipitation and temperature metrics instead of generic regional forecasts inside your Claude Desktop workspace.

Generate index maps inside your chat

`render_index_map` builds color-coded PNG visualizations of your EOSDA fields and sends them straight to your Claude Desktop window. Claude Desktop displays these visual crop maps so you can spot failing zones before they ruin your harvest. To back up the visuals, `get_ndvi_timeseries` and `get_evi_timeseries` fetch raw EOSDA vegetation trends for your Claude Desktop agent. Your agent compares these historical values within Claude Desktop to detect canopy degradation or weed infestations.
