Instant unit and currency conversions

Stop hunting through spreadsheets for the latest exchange rates. This MCP handles the heavy lifting by using `convert_price_units` to show you exactly what your commodity is worth in any currency or unit you need. Your AI client processes these figures immediately. You get the raw data you need to make a move while the market is still live.

Calculate production costs on the fly

Plug in your land productivity data to see your bottom line in BRL. The `calculate_cost_per_hectare` tool turns your yield estimates into a clear cost-per-unit metric. It removes the guesswork from your planning. You can compare different yield scenarios inside your chat without opening a separate calculator.

Track market history for better decisions

Check the long-term view before you lock in a contract. The `get_historical_market_trends` tool pulls recorded price averages for any specific month or year. This gives you the context to judge if today's price is a deal or a trap. Use this data to negotiate from a position of strength.
