What is the ERS USDA (Economic Research) MCP Server?
Connect to the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS) and query the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) directly. This server provides comprehensive access to the primary source of information on the financial condition, production practices, and resource use of America's farm businesses.
What you can do
- Survey Data Retrieval — Fetch detailed financial and production data from U.S. farms using specific years, reports, or variables.
- Geographic Analysis — List all available ARMS States and retrieve metadata specific to regional agricultural economies.
- Historical Trends — Access all available survey years to perform longitudinal analysis of farm income and expenses.
- Variable Metadata — Inspect detailed definitions and metadata for variables used in the ARMS dataset to ensure accurate data interpretation.
- Farm Classification — Query specific farm types and categories (like farm typology or operator households) to segment your research.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ERS USDA API Key
- Start querying agricultural economic data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Agricultural Economists — quickly pull survey results for income statements and balance sheets without manual exports.
- Data Analysts — integrate official government agricultural metrics into broader economic models or reports.
- Policy Researchers — analyze farm household characteristics and production practices across different U.S. states.

Frequently asked questions
What is required to fetch specific survey results using this server?
To use the get_arms_surveydata tool, you must provide at least one year and either a 'report' name (like income+statement) or a specific 'variable' ID (like igcfi).
Can I see which states are available in the ARMS dataset?
Yes! Use the get_arms_states tool to retrieve a list of all U.S. states covered by the survey along with their associated metadata.
How do I find the meaning of a specific variable code like 'igcfi'?
You can use the get_arms_variables tool to fetch detailed metadata and descriptions for all variables used in the Agricultural Resource Management Survey.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
