Cattle Market

What the cattle-market MCP server does

The cattle-market MCP server is an agent-facing interface to information published by consignatarias.com.ar. Its subject is the Argentine cattle market, rather than a general-purpose livestock database. The supplied project description identifies prices, auctions, consignataria records and price alerts as core data areas.

Price coverage includes the INMAG family of indices, with daily history from 2015, values in pesos and dollars, category panels, a lease indicator, the corn-to-steer spread and a liquidation index based on the share of females. The site also publishes a Value of Reference that reports P10, median and P90 results by cattle category and weight range, using lots sold through the Mercado Agroganadero.

The wider data service includes an auction calendar, a directory of 107 consignatarias across 12 provinces and a registry of 1,110 frigoríficos cross-referenced with SENASA. Other published datasets cover land values in 15 provinces and 52 zones. The project states that its data is open and citable, while access terms can differ for producers, operators and integrators.

How it works

Agents access the cattle-market MCP server through the Model Context Protocol. The repository also identifies a public API and lists the service in the official MCP registry under ar.com.consignatarias/cattle-market. The supplied material does not document the individual MCP method names, request schemas or response formats.

Underlying data is collected and refreshed from several sources. Auction calendar information is gathered daily from nine sources, including the CACG API, consignataria websites and the Mercado Agroganadero. INMAG data is scraped daily, and SENASA frigorífico records are cross-checked monthly. Public profile information is taken from sources such as consignataria websites, official social accounts and press coverage; fields without a clear source are left empty.

The site exposes additional public pages and JSON resources, including the market overview, prices, auction listings, Value of Reference and land-value data. Those web resources provide context for the data available through the project, but the supplied documentation does not establish that every page or dataset is available as an MCP tool.

Tools and capabilities

Documented data areas include:

• Argentine cattle prices and INMAG indices
• Historical price data in pesos and dollars
• Auction schedules, current auctions and live auction listings
• Consignataria directory records and operating regions
• Frigorífico records cross-referenced with SENASA
• Price alerts, as stated in the project description
• Value of Reference ranges by category and weight
• Land-value data with source, date and observation count

These capabilities suit agents that need to compare cattle-market references, find relevant auctions or identify consignatarias. They should not be treated as a substitute for a documented trading, bidding or transaction system; no such functionality is described in the supplied material.

Limitations and notes

The provided README excerpt does not include installation commands, transport details, environment variables, authentication steps or client-specific setup. It also does not list the MCP tools by name or define their input and output schemas. Developers should consult the repository before implementing against the server.

Data freshness varies by source: auction calendars are described as daily, INMAG is scraped daily, and SENASA frigorífico information is checked monthly. Market figures should therefore be interpreted with their source and update timing in mind. The project distinguishes free producer access from paid PRO Consignataria and Enterprise API/MCP offerings, so availability and commercial terms may depend on the intended use.
