For developers & AI agents

Connect to the Life Scientific catalogue.

Our product catalogue is available as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server — connect Claude or any AI agent and query products, formulations and market registrations directly, in your language.

How to use it

Query the Life Scientific crop-protection catalogue directly — no API key required. Start with search_products to find a product by crop, target pest/disease, product type or market; call get_product for its full formulation, active ingredients (with FRAC/HRAC/IRAC resistance-group codes) and per-market registrations; and check_authorization to confirm a product is approved for use in a specific market. Pass a locale (en, es, fr, de, it, pt) to receive taglines and descriptions in that language — regulatory facts such as registration numbers, dose rates and pre-harvest intervals are authoritative and returned untranslated.

Endpoint

/api/mcp

Open and read-only — no API key required. Streamable HTTP (MCP) transport.

What you can ask

  • search_productsFind products by crop, pest/target, product type or market.
  • get_productFull detail for one product: active ingredients with resistance-group codes, formulation, key uses and per-market registrations.
  • check_authorizationConfirm whether a product is registered in a given market, with its approved uses.

Add it to Claude or your agent

  1. In Claude, add a custom connector (or remote MCP server) and paste the endpoint URL above.
  2. Or, for a client that reads a config file, use the snippet below.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "life-scientific": {
      "url": "/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Try it from the terminal

curl -X POST /api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Registration numbers, dose rates and pre-harvest intervals returned by this service are authoritative facts and are not translated. Use plant protection products safely — always read the label and product information before use.
