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

Browse the ~85 nonfuel mineral commodities covered by the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries (MCS) annual data release — lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths, gold, aluminum, nickel, platinum-group metals, and dozens more, through industrial minerals like barite and feldspar. Each entry names its U.S. statistics columns (production, imports, exports, price, employment, net import reliance — varies by commodity) and whether a world production/reserves-by-country table is also available (mcs_country_comparison). Optional substring query over commodity name or code. Keyless.
