No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/mcs_commodity_data for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

U.S. salient statistics for one mineral commodity from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries — the most recent 5 years of production, imports, exports, consumption, price, employment, and NET IMPORT RELIANCE (the “import reliance” figure — what share of U.S. consumption comes from imports). Accepts a common name (“lithium”, “copper”, “rare earths”, “platinum group metals”) or the MCS code. Raw USGS footnote codes (W=withheld, E=estimated, NA=not available, “>50” on import reliance) are preserved verbatim, never silently coerced to a number. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`commodity`	string	yes	Commodity name or code, e.g. “lithium”, “cobalt”, “rare earths”, “gold”.
