Switzerland Organic & Regenerative Farming MCP

Swiss organic and regenerative agriculture data via the Model Context Protocol. Query Bio Suisse Knospe standards, Bio-Verordnung, FiBL Betriebsmittelliste, Demeter rules, conversion requirements, organic subsidies, soil health guidance, and certification processes -- all from your AI assistant.

Part of Ansvar Open Agriculture.

Why This Exists

Swiss organic farmers, advisors, and certification bodies need fast access to Bio Suisse Knospe rules, federal Bio-Verordnung requirements, FiBL approved input lists, Demeter biodynamic standards, conversion timelines, and subsidy rates. This information is published across multiple organisations (Bio Suisse, BLW, FiBL, Demeter Schweiz, AGRIDEA) in PDFs and web portals that AI assistants cannot query directly. This MCP server makes it all searchable.
