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.

Farmonaut + Claude Desktop FAQ
Common questions about integrating Farmonaut MCP Server with Claude Desktop.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
