# National Dairy Farm MCP Server - Implementation Summary
## π― **Project Overview**
I have successfully created a comprehensive **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server** for the National Dairy FARM Program API. This server provides a standardized interface to interact with dairy farm management data, evaluations, and analytics.
## π **What Was Analyzed**
### **API Documentation Scrubbed:**
- **Source**: https://eval.nationaldairyfarm.com/dashboard/resources/developer/documentation
- **OpenAPI Spec**: https://eval.nationaldairyfarm.com/dfdm/api/openapi.json
- **API Version**: 3.2
- **Authentication**: OAuth2 with client credentials and authorization code flows
### **Key API Capabilities Discovered:**
- **Cooperative Management**: CRUD operations for dairy cooperatives
- **Farm Management**: Complete farm lifecycle management
- **Facility Management**: Farm infrastructure and equipment tracking
- **User Management**: Role-based access control system
- **Evaluation Workflow**: Farm assessment and certification processes
- **Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)**: Environmental impact reporting
- **Search & Analytics**: Advanced search using Solr and reporting
- **Attachment Management**: Document and file handling

**Attachments (4 ops):**
- `list_attachments`, `get_attachment`, `upload_attachment`, `delete_attachment`
**Search & Analytics (6 ops):**
- `search_farms`, `search_evaluations`, `get_farm_analytics`, `get_coop_analytics`, `get_evaluation_trends`
**Authentication (1 op):**
- `oauth_token`
