crop-mcp

Python API:

from crop_mcp import predict_europe_yield

result = predict_europe_yield("DE11", "DE", crop="wheat", gdd=3050, precip_mm=650)
print(f"Yield: {result['predicted_yield_t_ha']} t/ha")
print(f"Revenue: ~{result['predicted_yield_t_ha'] * 239:.0f} €/ha")

3. Claude Desktop / Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "crop": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["-m", "crop_mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}

4. HTTP Server (Remote / Smithery)

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.

V5.4 — Environmental Risk Score + Wildschaden 🌍🐗

Feature	Beschreibung
Environmental Risk Score	Komposit aus Waldanteil, Maisfläche, Bodenerosion, Sturm- + Hagelrisiko → 🟢🟡🔴
Wildschaden DE	DJV-Jagdstreckendaten + Waldrandindex + Maisflächenanteil → €/ha-Verlustschätzung
Ampel-System	🟢 low (<35), 🟡 moderate (35-65), 🔴 high (≥65)
MCP Tool	environmental_risk(region='DE26') → sofortige Analyse inkl. Wildschaden

Beispiel Maßbach (DE26 Unterfranken):

{
  "overall_risk": "🔴 high",
  "ers_level": "🟡 moderate",
  "wild_boar_risk": {"level": "🔴 high", "loss_eur_ha": 158},
  "management": ["Waldrandstreifen 3-6m", "Drückjagd Nov-Dez", "8-Tage-Anzeigefrist §36 BayJG"]
}

V5.4 — Testing & CI 🧪

Maßnahme	Status
pytest	16 Tests, alle passing (tests/test_crop_mcp.py)
CI (GitHub Actions)	✅ Aktiv bei jedem Push — Badge im Header grün
Git LFS	*.pkl + große .json via LFS (aus Git-Tree entfernt)

Run tests:

pip install -e ".[test]"
pytest tests/ -v

Model Accuracy

Metric	Value
LOYO MAE (Wheat)	0.599 t/ha (11.5%)
Forward Validation (Train ≤2022, Test 2023-24)	0.794 t/ha (15.0%)
R² (LOYO)	0.871
R² (Forward)	0.628

Most accurate for core EU (DE, FR, BE, NL, AT, CZ) where training data is dense.

Per-Crop Performance (V5.2)

Crop	Algorithm	Top Feature	Key Insight
🌾 Wheat	RF 200 trees	solar_kwh (35%)	Nord/Süd gradient dominates
🌽 Corn	RF 200 trees	clay_pct (42%)	Maize is extremely soil-sensitive
🌿 Barley	Ridge	clay_pct (27%)	Best coverage of all crops
🌻 Rapeseed	RF 200 trees	coarse_pct (28%)	Corrected — now 1,825 real samples
🌻 Sunflower	Ridge	silt_pct (24%)	17 countries (post-fix)

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
• Investment: Portfolio optimizer for 100+ ha allocation decisions
