Building Multi-Step Trade Data Pipelines

When you call `query_trade_data`, your agent doesn't just run a single query. It can first use `list_metadata_tables` to figure out which table holds the data, then select specific fields using `list_metadata_fields`. This lets you build complex reasoning paths where one tool output dictates the next step in analyzing trade flows. This setup is perfect for ReAct agents because they decide the entire flow. The agent can determine it needs to check available country codes first by calling `list_metadata_values` before finally executing a precise query using `query_trade_data`. You're building full, observable data pipelines.

Handling Large Filter Sets for Trade Data

Need to analyze massive datasets? The `query_trade_data` function supports POST requests, which is critical when you have large filter sets—like querying across multiple HS and SITC classifications at once. You don't hit payload limits; the tool handles it. It lets your agent process detailed requests that single-shot API calls would fail on. This capability means your LangChain application can manage complex filtering logic, giving you robust insights into international trade statistics.

Discovering Available Trade Data Schema

Before writing a query, you need to know what data exists. Start by calling `list_metadata_tables` to see all available datasets in the USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission). This tells your agent exactly where it needs to look. After identifying the table, use `list_metadata_fields` to pinpoint the exact columns—say, 'Imports' or 'Exports'—you need. It’s a guided process that ensures every step taken by your LangChain agent is grounded in known data schema.

Setup guide

Set up USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) MCP in LangChain

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
langchain-mcp-adapters + langgraph packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install langchain-mcp-adapters langgraph langchain-openai. The MCP adapters package converts MCP tools into native LangChain BaseTool objects.
2

Connect via HTTP transport
Use MultiServerMCPClient with "transport": "http" pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create a ReAct agent
Pass the discovered tools to create_react_agent() from LangGraph. The agent automatically routes USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) tool calls through the MCP protocol.
4

Run with any LLM
Swap ChatOpenAI for ChatAnthropic, ChatGoogleGenerativeAI, or any LangChain-compatible model. The MCP tools work identically across all providers.

agent.py

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

async with MultiServerMCPClient({
    "usitc-dataweb-international-trade-commission-mcp": {
        "transport": "http",
        "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp",
    }
}) as client:
    tools = client.get_tools()

    agent = create_react_agent(
        ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
        tools,
    )
    result = await agent.ainvoke({
        "messages": "List recent USITC DataWeb (International Trade Commission) transactions"
    })
    print(result["messages"][-1].content)
