Magpie MCP

Magpie is an official MCP server provided by Morning Brief that exposes 26 tools for accessing USDA agricultural data. It allows AI agents to retrieve real-time and historical data on grain, livestock, and dairy prices, crop conditions, fertilizer costs, export sales, and weather forecasts, all sourced directly from USDA datasets without requiring an API key.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http magpie-mcp https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add magpie-mcp --url https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable magpie-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magpie-mcp": {
      "url": "https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magpie-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start magpie-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "magpie-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http magpie-mcp https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magpie-mcp": {
      "url": "https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "magpie-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://ag.morningbrief.link/mcp"
    }
  }
}
