About CropProphEU
CropProphEU is an MCP server for AI agents working with European agriculture, covering crop forecasts, market values, weather and risk analysis. Its tools also compare regions and crops and optimize agricultural portfolios across EU regions.
Key features
- 01Yield forecasts for five crops
- 02Market values and live prices
- 03Weather outlooks and climate scenarios
- 04Regional and crop comparisons
- 05Portfolio allocation optimization
- 06Environmental and wild-boar risk
Use cases
- 01Estimate crop yield and value by region
- 02Compare crop seasons and weather conditions
- 03Assess yield and environmental risks
- 04Allocate a farming portfolio across regions and crops
MCP support
Exposes 13 agriculture tools to MCP clients, including yield and value forecasts, weather and climate analysis, regional comparisons, portfolio optimization, and environmental risk scoring. It supports stdio and an HTTP server with SSE.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Verified Crops — Data Integrity ✅
Every prediction traces to a verified Eurostat crop code. No hallucinations, no silent wrong-crop training.
| Crop | Eurostat Code | Samples | Countries | MAE (LOYO) | R² |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🌾 Wheat | C1100 | 1,603 | 26 (🇪🇺+🇺🇦) | 11.5% | 0.87 |
| 🌽 Corn (Maize) | C1500 | 1,797 | 21 (🇪🇺+🇬🇧) | 11.6% | 0.72 |
| 🌿 Barley | C1300 | 1,885 | 26 (🇪🇺+🇬🇧) | 11.2% | 0.85 |
| 🌻 Rapeseed | I1110 | 1,825 | 25 | 10.8% | 0.83 |
| 🌻 Sunflower | I1120 | 1,229 | 17 | 16.1% | 0.74 |
⚠️ V5.1d Data Fix: Rapeseed + Sunflower were previously trained on RICE data (wrong Eurostat codes C2000/C2200). Now corrected to Industrial crop codes I1110/I1120. DE rapeseed prediction fell from 7.21t to 2.63t — real, not extrapolated.

Key design principles:
- No hallucination — every yield prediction traces to verified Eurostat data
- Live prices — CBOT wheat/corn via Yahoo Finance, updated hourly
- Self-updating — monthly cron rebuilds models with latest Eurostat data
- Zero API keys — all data sources are free and public
- AI-for-AI — built for agents, no dashboards
Building & Training
# Build training data (25 min per crop)
python3 build_europe.py --crop corn
# Train model (2 min)
python3 train_europe_fast.py --crop corn
# Auto-update monthly (cron: 1st of month at 06:00)
Commercial Use Cases
- Agri-trading desks: "What's wheat worth in Picardie at current MATIF prices?"
- Farm advisory: "How does this season compare to the last 5 years?"
- Insurance / Risk: Yield-at-Risk (P10/P50/P90) per region + crop
- EU policy analysis: Climate scenario impact on national yields

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
