What is the GrainSure MCP Server?
Connect your GrainSure Silo Monitoring API to any AI agent and take full control of real-time grain fill level tracking, usage rate analysis, predictive days-to-empty forecasting, and automated delivery management through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Silo Management — List and manage all grain silos with current fill levels, grain types, and monitoring status
- Real-Time Fill Levels — Get current grain fill percentage and remaining tonnes for each silo
- Usage Tracking — Monitor historical grain consumption rates and identify usage trends
- Days to Empty — Get AI-predicted days until each silo runs empty based on current usage patterns
- Fill Level History — Track how fill levels have changed over time for delivery effectiveness analysis
- Low Stock Alerts — Receive automated alerts when silo levels drop below configured thresholds
- Delivery Orders — Create and manage grain delivery orders for timely inventory replenishment
- Order History — Track past deliveries, quantities, and supplier performance
- Sensor Health — Monitor IoT sensor battery levels, signal strength, and calibration status
- Farm Overview — Get comprehensive farm-wide inventory summaries for executive reporting
- Silo Settings — Customize alert thresholds, grain types, and usage rate assumptions
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your GrainSure API key and base URL (from your platform dashboard)
- Start monitoring silo levels from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more climbing silos to check fill levels or guessing when to order more grain. Your AI acts as a dedicated silo inventory analyst and supply chain assistant.
Who is this for?
- Farmers — monitor grain levels remotely, predict when silos will run empty, and plan deliveries proactively
- Feed Managers — track consumption rates, manage multiple silos, and prevent stock-outs
- Supply Chain Coordinators — optimize delivery timing, manage suppliers, and reduce emergency orders
- Agricultural Consultants — provide data-driven feed management recommendations to clients
Built-in capabilities (12)
Accepts delivery quantity (tonnes), preferred delivery date, supplier information, and any special instructions. Returns order confirmation with order ID, estimated delivery date, and tracking information. Essential for proactive inventory replenishment, automated ordering based on predictions, and supply chain management. AI agents should use this when users ask "order 20 tonnes of wheat for silo 3", "schedule a delivery for silo 5 next week", or need to place delivery orders based on low stock predictions. Create a new grain delivery order for a specific silo
Returns fill percentage, remaining tonnes, current level height, and last update timestamp. Essential for real-time inventory tracking, delivery planning, and stock management. AI agents should use this when users ask "what is the current fill level in silo 2", "how much grain is left in silo 4", or need immediate stock level data for feed planning and delivery decisions. Get real-time grain fill level for a specific silo
Returns estimated days to empty, predicted empty date, confidence score, and usage rate assumptions. Essential for proactive delivery planning, preventing stock-outs, and optimizing supply chain timing. AI agents should use this when users ask "when will silo 3 run empty", "how many days of feed are left in silo 5", or need predictive supply data for delivery scheduling.

AI agents should use this when users ask "show me all my silos", "list monitored storage units", or need to identify available silos before querying fill levels or usage data. List all grain silos monitored by GrainSure
Returns time-series usage data (tonnes per day/week) with timestamps. Essential for consumption trend analysis, feed rate calculation, and delivery timing optimization. AI agents should reference this when users ask "show me grain usage trends for silo 3", "what is the daily consumption rate for silo 5", or need historical usage data for feed planning and inventory forecasting. Optional days parameter controls lookback period. Get historical grain usage data for a specific silo
Essential for customizing monitoring behavior, adjusting alert sensitivity, and maintaining accurate silo profiles. AI agents should use this when users ask "change the low stock threshold for silo 3 to 20 percent", "update silo 5 grain type to barley", or need to modify silo monitoring configuration. Update silo monitoring settings including alert thresholds and grain type

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI predict when my silo will run empty based on current usage?
Yes! Use the get_days_to_empty tool with your silo ID. GrainSure AI analyzes current fill levels and historical usage patterns to predict exactly how many days until the silo runs empty, with a confidence score. For deeper analysis, combine with get_usage_history to see the consumption trends that drive the prediction. This gives you proactive warning to schedule deliveries before running out.
How do I set up low stock alerts for my silos?
Use the update_silo_settings tool to configure your low stock threshold percentage (e.g., 20% means alert when silo drops below 20% full). Then use get_low_stock_alerts to check for any active alerts. GrainSure will automatically monitor fill levels and trigger alerts when thresholds are breached, giving you timely warning to plan deliveries.
Can I create a delivery order directly through the API?
Yes! Use the create_delivery_order tool with the silo ID, quantity in tonnes, and optionally a preferred delivery date and supplier. The API will confirm your order with an order ID and estimated delivery date. You can also use get_days_to_empty predictions to automatically trigger orders when silos reach critical levels.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the 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?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the 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?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
