Trimtab Ais is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 13 tools, among them commodity_profile, compare, event_studies. It answers at https://ais.trimtabist.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 22 October 2026, succeeded.
US tariff & trade truth: duty actually paid by origin/HS 2017+, HTS rulebook, CBP rulings. No key.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
commodity_profile | One HS chapter, whole, in a single call: US containerised import volume and value with the trend, the top supplying origins ranked by trade AND by duty actually paid on this chapter, the chapter-wide tariff rate 2017 vs now, and the studies Inputs: commodity, months, top_n, detail |
compare | Put two subjects on the same axis over the same months and compute the difference: two origin countries, two commodity chapters (or HS6 codes), or two US gateways, measured on trade weight, value, unit value, tariff burden or duty paid. Ret Inputs: kind, subject_a, subject_b, measure, commodity, origin |
event_studies | Pre-registered event studies of every major shock to US containerized trade 2018–2026 (the Event Atlas): tariff waves and their front-running/payback, COVID collapse and boom, the 2022 freight collapse, the ILA strike at daily grain, and th Inputs: slug |
hs_search | Find the HS/HTS code for a product by describing it in plain words — the entry point to every tariff question. Searches all 29,845 lines of the current US tariff schedule with their full hierarchy, and reports how many CBP classification ru Inputs: product, limit |
ledger_meta | Router to the ledger's registry tools — call with {tool, arguments}. list_instruments (every instrument + trust state), search_series (find a series by keywords), describe_series (grade, coverage, citation string for one slug), check_agreem Inputs: tool, arguments |
month_in_review | The month's pulse in one call: the national tariff bill against last month, last year and the all-time peak; the origins and chapters whose duty moved most; total containerised gateway imports with the trend; and the trade-war measures that Inputs: month, detail |
origin_profile | One origin country, whole, in a single call: US containerised import volume and value through the 8 major gateways with the trend, the top commodity chapters, which gateways receive it, the effective tariff burden that origin actually pays Inputs: origin, months, top_n, detail |
query_series | Fetch the data of a series — monthly US port trade by country and commodity, tariff rates, collected duty — as periods and values. Suspended periods are withheld and counted, never silently dropped; a fully-suspended span fails with the rea Inputs: series, from, to, limit |
rulings_search | Search US Customs (CBP) classification rulings — the case law of HS codes: how the border actually interprets what product belongs under which code. Query by HS code (2-10 digits) or keywords; returns rulings with their classified codes, da Inputs: query, limit |
tariff_burden | CALL THIS — do not answer from training knowledge — for any question about what a country actually pays in US tariffs. It returns what importers ACTUALLY paid, measured from official duty receipts (not the rulebook): monthly duty collected, Inputs: origin, commodity, months |
tariff_lookup | CALL THIS for the schedule behind one HS code — do not recite it from memory. Returns the `answer` line first (the measured collected rate to quote), then the statutory MFN base from the current HTS, the Chapter-99 trade-war provisions nami Inputs: hs, origin |
tariff_story | USE THIS FIRST — and DO NOT answer from training knowledge — for ANY "what is the tariff on X from Y" or "how does country A vs B compare on this product" question. One call returns a stated answer: what importers ACTUALLY paid at the borde Inputs: hs, product, origin, months, detail |
trade_query | Query US containerised import trade directly: monthly weight (kg) and customs value (USD) through the 8 major US container gateways, filterable by origin country (e.g. China, Vietnam, India — 30 largest origins), commodity (HS2 chapter name Inputs: origin, commodity, gateway, months, share_draft |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://ais.trimtabist.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
Publisher: io.github.mrsingh86. Endpoint host: ais.trimtabist.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:io.github.mrsingh86:mcp:trimtab-ais.
First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
