Critical minerals supply chain risk intelligence — quantified, sourced, and ready for your AI agent. This MCP server delivers dependency risk scores for lithium, cobalt, rare earths, gallium, and 16 other critical minerals by orchestrating 8 public data sources in parallel: UN COMTRADE trade flows, OFAC and OpenSanctions watchlists, USPTO and EPO patent databases, World Bank governance indicators, IMF macroeconomic data, and OECD statistics. Defense teams, EV supply chain managers, and industrial policy analysts use it to answer one question fast: how exposed are we?

Seven MCP tools cover every dimension of critical mineral dependency — from Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) supply concentration and geopolitical fragility scoring to substitution patent landscapes and sanctions screening. Every tool returns structured JSON with a verdict label (CRITICAL_DEPENDENCY through LOW_RISK), scored sub-components, and prioritized recommendations. No subscriptions, no dashboards to configure — connect your MCP client, call a tool, get intelligence.

| Data Point | Source | Example | |---|---|---| | 📦 International trade flows by country and commodity | UN COMTRADE | China: 68% of cobalt ore exports, HHI 4,840 | | 🚫 US Treasury sanctions entities | OFAC SDN List | Novatek PJSC — sanctioned Russian energy entity | | 🌐 Global sanctions matches across 100+ programs | OpenSanctions | 3 hits across EU, UN, OFAC programs | | 📄 US alternative-material patents | US
