What you can do with Agro API in Claude and ChatGPT

For farm managers and agronomists who track fields with satellite, weather and soil data.

List fields and their size in hectares

List your fields as polygons, with the area of each in hectares. Open one to see its geometry and centre.

Track crop health with satellite images and NDVI

Search the satellite images of a field for a time range. Read the NDVI history of the same field to see the trend.

Check the weather at a farm location

Read the current weather at a latitude and longitude. Read the 5-day forecast for the same location, in 3-hour steps.

Read soil and UV data for a field

Read the current soil temperature and moisture of a field. Read the current UV index for the same field.

Add a new field from its boundary

Create a polygon from a GeoJSON boundary in longitude and latitude order. Rename it if the name needs a change.

How do I connect Agro API?

Before you connect

The login page asks for your Agro API key.

Find it in your Agro API account on the API keys tab. The key is sent only to api.agromonitoring.com on your behalf, is never shown to anyone and is never written to a log.

Claude claude.ai · Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, then click + Add → Add custom connector.
  2. Enter the name Agro API and this URL, then click Add:
    https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. Claude opens the login page: enter your Agro API key.
  4. In a chat, click + → Connectors and turn on Agro API.

Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.

ChatGPT chatgpt.com

  1. Open Plugins, click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter the name Agro API and this URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, confirm the warning and create it:
    https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp
  3. ChatGPT opens the login page: enter your Agro API key.
  4. In Plugins, install Agro API, then choose it in a chat.

No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.

Claude Code

Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:

claude mcp add --transport http agro-api https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agro-api": {
      "url": "https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "agro-api": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex

Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:

codex mcp add agro-api --url https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp
codex mcp login agro-api

Other clients

Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.

https://agro-api.usefulapi.io/mcp

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Agro API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

Your usefulapi plan · 4

  • Usage status (free-tier meter)agroapi_usage_status
    Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter.
  • Request a missing featureagroapi_request_feature
    Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the Agro API tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter.
  • Upgrade to Pro or Pro+agroapi_upgrade
    Get a paid plan for Agro API (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter.
  • Cancel the Pro subscriptionagroapi_cancel_subscription
    Cancel the caller's Agro API Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run agroapi_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.

FAQ

What can I do with Agro API in Claude or ChatGPT?

List fields and their size in hectares. Track crop health with satellite images and NDVI. Check the weather at a farm location. Read soil and UV data for a field. Add a new field from its boundary. See what you can do for the details.

Is this an official Agro API product?

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Agro API. The server calls the Agro API API with your own Agro API access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.

Can I connect Agro API to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.

What do I need to connect?

The login page asks for your Agro API key. See Before you connect for where to find it.

Do I put my Agro API key or an Authorization header in the client config?

No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Agro API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.

How do you keep my Agro API credentials?

The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Agro API API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Agro API.

Can the AI change my Agro API data?

Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 17 Agro API tools can create or change data. The other 14 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.

What does it cost?

The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this Agro API server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run agroapi_usage_status to see how many calls you used.

How do I subscribe or cancel?

Ask the AI to run agroapi_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run agroapi_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.

What if a Agro API tool that I need is missing?

Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with agroapi_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.

Which AI clients can I use?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.

This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
