Farmonaut MCP Tools for Claude Code (12)
These 12 tools become available when you connect Farmonaut to Claude Code via MCP:
add_field
Accepts field boundary as GeoJSON polygon or coordinates, field name, crop type, and planting date. Returns the created field with ID, calculated area, and monitoring activation status. Essential for onboarding new fields into the monitoring system, expanding farm coverage, and setting up new crop seasons. AI agents should use this when users ask "add a new field for monitoring", "register this field boundary", or need to set up satellite monitoring for a new agricultural area. Register a new agricultural field for satellite monitoring
get_crop_advisory
Returns recommendations for irrigation, fertilization, pest control, harvest timing, and field operations. Essential for data-driven farm management, precision agriculture, and optimizing crop inputs. AI agents should use this when users ask "what should I do in my field this week", "get irrigation and fertilizer recommendations", or need AI-powered crop management advice. Get AI-powered crop management advisories and recommendations
get_deforestation_alerts
Uses satellite imagery to detect tree cover loss, land clearing, and vegetation changes over time. Essential for conservation compliance, environmental monitoring, carbon credit verification, and land use change detection. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show deforestation alerts in my area", "detect land use changes", or need environmental compliance monitoring. Get deforestation and land change detection alerts
get_evi
EVI is more sensitive in high-biomass regions and less affected by atmospheric conditions and soil background than NDVI. Essential for monitoring dense canopies, tropical crops, and areas with high atmospheric interference. Returns EVI values, statistics, satellite source, and acquisition dates. AI agents should use this when users ask "show me EVI trends for this field", "how is the canopy developing in high-biomass areas", or need enhanced vegetation index analysis for dense vegetation. Calculate EVI enhanced vegetation index for high-biomass crop monitoring
get_fields
Returns field names, boundaries (GeoJSON polygons), area in hectares/acres, crop type, planting dates, and current monitoring status. Essential for farm management overview, field inventory, and selecting target fields for satellite analysis.

List all agricultural fields monitored in your Farmonaut account
get_ndvi
NDVI measures vegetation health and vigor on a scale of -1 to 1, with higher values indicating healthier vegetation. Returns NDVI values, statistics (mean, min, max, std), satellite source, acquisition date, and cloud cover percentage. Essential for crop health assessment, growth stage monitoring, stress detection, and yield prediction. AI agents should use this when users ask "what is the NDVI for my rice field this month", "calculate vegetation health for field X", or need NDVI-based crop health analysis. Calculate NDVI vegetation index for crop health monitoring
get_ndwi
NDWI is sensitive to vegetation water content and soil moisture, making it essential for irrigation scheduling, drought monitoring, and water stress detection. Returns NDWI values, statistics, satellite source, and acquisition dates.

Get Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) analysis for all-weather crop monitoring
get_satellite_images
Returns true-color and false-color composites, NDVI overlays, and raw spectral bands. Essential for visual crop assessment, change detection, damage assessment, and downloading imagery for further processing. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me satellite images of my field from last week", "get latest Sentinel-2 imagery", or need satellite imagery for visual assessment. Retrieve satellite imagery for agricultural fields from multiple sources
get_soil_moisture
Returns soil moisture levels at different depths (surface, root zone, deep soil), moisture anomalies, and irrigation recommendations.
