Is Faostat MCP Server free?

The listed licence is Apache-2.0. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.

What can Faostat MCP Server do?

Faostat MCP Server documents 8 tools to the agent, including canvas_id, faostat_commodity_profile, faostat_dataframe_describe. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

Faostat MCP Server

Unclaimed

Security profile

Claimed and verified servers get a weekly static scan that shows what the code can reach: external services, environment variables, shell commands, agent configuration folders, plus any dependencies with known advisories. Claim this listing to get one. How the security profile works

8 of 8 tools

Documented tools (8)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

canvas_id

is optional on both tools — omit it to operate on the tables staged in the current session (the common case).

faostat_commodity_profile

Workflow: assemble top producers, the production trend, and trade flows for one commodity from the production and trade domains in a single call.

faostat_dataframe_describe

List the canvas tables staged this session, each with provenance, row count, and column schema.

faostat_dataframe_query

Run a read-only SQL SELECT against the canvas tables staged by the analytical tools.

faostat_list_domains

Discover FAOSTAT statistical domains with codes, descriptions, last-update date, upstream row count, and local index status. The entry point — every query keys on a domain code.

faostat_query_observations

Query a domain's cube by area(s), item(s), element(s), and year range. Inline preview for small results; large sets spill to a DataCanvas table.

faostat_resolve_codes

Resolve human terms to the opaque integer codes a query needs (areas, items, elements), flagging each area as a country or an aggregate region.

Read-only.

Writes, DDL, DROP, COPY, PRAGMA, ATTACH, and external-file table functions are rejected by the framework SQL gate. System catalogs (informationschema, sqlitemaster, duckdb) are denied so a caller can't enumerate staged tables it doesn't hold a handle for — list them via faostatdataframedescribe.
