Add Real-Time Supply Chain Risk Data to Your AI Agent in 60 Seconds

There are 12,000+ MCP servers. Until now, zero of them had supply chain risk data.

I built SupplyMaven MCP Server to fix that. It gives your AI agent real-time access to my Global Disruption Index, SupplyMaven Manufacturing Index (Patent Pending), commodity prices, port congestion, manufacturing output, border delays, and disruption alerts through a single MCP endpoint.
Free tier and paid tier for all data. No API key or signup. Just connect and query.

Connect in 30 Seconds

Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
json{
"mcpServers": {
"supplymaven": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://supplymaven.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}
Cursor / VS Code
Same config in your MCP settings:
json{
"mcpServers": {
"supplymaven": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://supplymaven.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}

Restart your client. That's it!

What You Can Query

The free tier gives you three tools with no auth:

get_supply_chain_risk — Returns the Global Disruption Index (GDI), a 0-100 composite risk score combining Transportation (30%), Energy (25%), Materials (25%), and Macro (20%) signals.

get_commodity_prices — Real-time prices for 5 key commodities across agriculture, metals, and energy.

get_disruption_alerts — Supply chain disruption alerts from news intelligence (critical severity).

After connecting, ask your AI agent:

"What's the current global supply chain risk level?"
"Show me commodity prices right now"
"Are there any critical supply chain disruptions?"

Your agent calls SupplyMaven's MCP tools and returns live data. No scraping, no API keys, no rate limit worries on the free tier.
What's Under the Hood
SupplyMaven tracks over 200 data variables in real time:

  • 31 commodities across agriculture, metals, and energy
  • 26 global ports with vessel counts and congestion scores
  • 8 US energy grid regions from EIA-930 data
  • US border crossings at Mexico and Canada commercial ports
  • Macroeconomic indicators from the Fed and BLS

The platform produces two proprietary indices:

Global Disruption Index (GDI) — A 0-100 composite score quantifying supply chain disruption risk. Higher = more disruption.

Supply Maven Manufacturing Index (SMI) — A patent-pending indicator that detects US manufacturing output changes up to 24 hours before government reports by analyzing weather-normalized electricity demand.

Paid Tier

If you need deeper data, the paid tier ($499/month, 10K queries/day) unlocks:

get_manufacturing_index — The patent-pending SMI
get_pillar_scores — Individual GDI component scores
get_port_congestion — All 26 ports with vessel-level detail
Full commodity coverage (31 assets) and all alert severity levels

I am continuously adding more and more data sources I find useful and beneficial for supply chain management.

Why This Exists

Enterprise supply chain risk platforms cost $100K-$250K per year and take months to deploy. The free government data sources (USDA, CBP, EIA) exist but nobody has time to aggregate and score them manually.
SupplyMaven sits in between — real-time intelligence, proprietary scoring, MCP-native, and a free tier so you can build with it today.
If you're building a procurement copilot, a logistics routing agent, a commodity trading bot, or anything that needs to understand supply chain conditions — this is the data layer you've been missing.

Connect it, query it, build with it. I'd love to hear what you build.
