mrdata_commodities

Pack: usgs-mrdata · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/usgs-mrdata/mcp

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

Which commodities are recorded in USGS MRDS inside an area, with a site count per commodity — the “what is this region mined for” tool. Also serves as the lookup for the commodity symbols that mrdata_search_deposits expects. Sourced from USGS MRData.
