MiningBridge Intelligence

MiningBridge Intelligence (MiningBridge Intelligence) gives agents critical-mineral and rare-earth trade intelligence: trade flows, commodity snapshots, supply-concentration risk (including China exposure), counterparty screening, sourcing briefs, research reports, a sourced evidence base, and CM-PATRA patent and R&D analytics for India's critical minerals. It covers lithium, cobalt, nickel, rare earths (NdPr), graphite inputs, gallium and germanium, and battery scrap. All tools are read-only.

Publisher: MiningBridge Private Limited

Prerequisites

You need a MiningBridge account and an API key. A free account works. The free plan gives a daily allowance and summary answers; the Pro plan unlocks full series, numeric risk scores, named counterparties and sourcing briefs.

Supported Operations

The connector exposes one MCP server with thirteen read-only tools:

Tool What it does
list_commodities Lists the critical-mineral commodities tracked (primary and secondary/scrap), with HS codes.
search_trade_flows Returns US monthly import and export values for a commodity.
get_commodity_snapshot Returns imports, exports, net position and the lead partner for one commodity.
assess_supply_risk Scores supply concentration (Herfindahl-Hirschman index) with a China-exposure read.
screen_suppliers Screens the counterparty directory by country or keyword.
generate_market_report Builds a sourcing brief: trade position, risk, corridors and feedstock alternatives.
list_reports Lists research reports on critical minerals and rare earths.
read_report Reads a published report, or its opening section and contents.
search_evidence Searches individual sourced claims on production, processing and trade measures.
get_mineral_patents CM-PATRA: lists reviewed patent families for one critical mineral, by processing stage and Indian applicants.
get_technology_gaps CM-PATRA: compares patent families with funded Ministry of Mines R&D projects per mineral.
track_rd_project_ip CM-PATRA: looks up a funded R&D project and patent families on the same minerals.
verify_patent_provenance CM-PATRA: shows why one patent family was labelled, with CPC codes and source links.

Obtaining Credentials

  1. Create a free account at https://intel.miningbridge.com (email verification or Google sign-in).
  2. Open Account, then API and connector keys: https://intel.miningbridge.com/account/keys
  3. Select Create key and copy the key. It starts with mb_live_ and is shown only once.
  4. When you create the connection, paste the key into MiningBridge API key.

You can revoke a key at any time on the same page; the connection stops working immediately.

Getting Started

  1. Add the MiningBridge Intelligence tool to your agent and create a connection with your API key.
  2. Try prompts such as:
    • "Using MiningBridge, what is the US trade position in lithium carbonate, and who is the lead partner?"
    • "Assess supply concentration risk for cobalt hydroxide, including China exposure."
    • "Screen MiningBridge counterparties for rare-earth refiners in Australia."
    • "List MiningBridge research reports on nickel and summarise the free brief."
    • "Using CM-PATRA, where are India's biggest technology gaps in critical minerals?"

Known Issues and Limitations

  • Figures are screening magnitudes derived from UN Comtrade and public disclosures. They are not price targets, valuations or investment advice.
  • Trade-flow series are US-centred (US imports and exports by partner). Other reporters are not yet covered.
  • Free accounts receive summary answers and a daily call allowance; detailed series, numeric risk scores and named counterparties require a Pro plan.
  • Official trade statistics are published with a delay, so the most recent months may not yet be available.
  • CM-PATRA patent counts are lower bounds: recent Indian-office filings are under-represented in the source, and patent legal status is not held.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the connector change any data? No. All thirteen tools are read-only.
