# Switzerland Farm Safety MCP

Machine-readable Swiss farm workplace safety data via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io).

Covers BUL/SPAA safety rules (lebenswichtige Regeln), Suva occupational safety requirements, EKAS Branchenloesung Landwirtschaft, Agriss accident statistics, machinery safety (ROPS, MFK, PTO guards), chemical exposure (PSM, MAK values), young worker restrictions (Jugendarbeitsschutz), and accident reporting obligations.

## Quick Start

### npx (stdio — zero install)

```bash
npx -y @ansvar/ch-farm-safety-mcp
```

### Docker

```bash
docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/ansvar-systems/ch-farm-safety-mcp:latest
```

### Streamable HTTP (remote)

```
https://mcp.ansvar.eu/ch-farm-safety/mcp
```

No authentication required. Rate-limited to fair use.

### Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ch-farm-safety": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ansvar/ch-farm-safety-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Or use the remote endpoint:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ch-farm-safety": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ansvar.eu/ch-farm-safety/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Development

```bash
npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm run lint
```

### Ingestion

```bash
npm run ingest          # incremental update
npm run ingest:full     # force full re-ingestion
npm run ingest:fetch    # fetch sources only (no DB write)
npm run ingest:diff     # show changes without applying
```

### Freshness

```bash
npm run freshness:check
```

Data staleness threshold: 90 days. The `check-freshness.yml` workflow runs weekly and opens an issue if data is stale.
