Terminal-Based Farm-Gate Price Math

Run fast terminal commands to deduct logistics and taxes from FOB prices. Claude Code invokes `calculate_farm_gate_parity` to strip out freight, port fees, and tariffs instantly. This MCP tool lets you pipe raw shipping data directly into your terminal-based workflows. You get precise net returns without opening a web browser or spreadsheet.

Compare Export Markets from the CLI

Assess global arbitrage opportunities without leaving your shell. Claude Code uses `analyze_market_opportunity` to rank net returns across international ports and domestic options. Your terminal agent evaluates the bids and outputs a clean, prioritized list of the most profitable destinations. It makes export decisions fast and scriptable.

Query Transportation Rates in Claude Code

Get instant freight cost estimates for any shipping route. Claude Code calls `get_transportation_rate` to pull the per-kilometer cost for rail, truck, or barge transport. This MCP server tool integrates directly with your shell scripts. You can automate freight cost lookups and feed them into larger logistics pipelines.
