Global Trade Alert
17 Mar 2026
Instead of filtering our website manually, you ask your AI assistant a question. It searches Global Trade Alert, retrieves the relevant intervention records and assembles an answer with full citations. Every claim is tied to specific GTA records with official source links, implementation dates and affected products. You can verify anything independently.
We have been testing this over the past weeks and the results have genuinely surprised us. Two examples.
The MCP server returned a comprehensive breakdown: 610 unique sanction interventions across roughly 40 participating countries, with the EU as the most active sanctioning actor (around 114 shared measures across 19 packages), followed by the United Kingdom (98) and the United States (83). It distinguished between commercial transaction controls (267), export bans (221) and import bans (101), and tracked activity by year, showing a peak in 2022 with 272 measures. All of this was presented with proper sourcing and a visual breakdown by measure type, implementing country and year.
The response documented 426 trade defence interventions affecting China since 2023, with activity doubling from 85 in 2023 to 173 in 2024. It identified India as the most active jurisdiction (87 measures), followed by the United States (66) and the EU (49), and flagged that virtually all interventions (425 of 426) carried harmful evaluations. Again, fully cited and illustrated.
These are not summaries drawn from general knowledge. These are structured answers built from verified GTA records in real time. Setup takes less than five minutes. We have published a step-by-step guide with a short video walkthrough.
The MCP integration is free to use during our beta period. We are introducing professional subscriptions and enterprise licences in April, with reasonable pricing to support the ongoing monitoring work of the St. Gallen Endowment. We will share the details when pricing goes live.
For now, connect the server and try it. We want to hear what works and what is missing. Write to mcp@globaltradealert.org with your feedback.
