Use MiningBridge in your AI assistant

Ask Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant about a critical mineral and it answers with MiningBridge research: production and trade concentration, supply risk, export controls, counterparties and our published reports, with sources. You sign in with your MiningBridge account, and your plan sets what the assistant can read.

Before you start

• A MiningBridge account. Create one free; no card needed.
• The connector address: https://intel.miningbridge.in/api/mcp

Claude

1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Find MiningBridge Intelligence in the directory, or choose Add custom connector and paste https://intel.miningbridge.in/api/mcp.
3. Click Connect, sign in to MiningBridge and click Allow.
4. In a chat, ask for example: “Using MiningBridge, what is the supply risk for cobalt?”

ChatGPT

1. Find MiningBridge Intelligence in the ChatGPT apps directory once it is listed.
2. Until then, on plans with developer mode, add a connector with the address https://intel.miningbridge.in/api/mcp and sign in to MiningBridge when asked.

One-click install

If the app is installed on this computer, click its button. The app opens and asks you to confirm, then you sign in to MiningBridge the first time you use it.

Other apps

Every app uses the same address. Apps that support sign-in open a MiningBridge login the first time. For apps that can’t, create a key under Account, API and connector keys and add the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY.

What the assistant can do

Every tool only reads data. None can change your account or buy anything.

• List tracked commoditiesUse this when the user asks which critical minerals, rare earths, battery materials or scrap streams MiningBridge covers, or before any other MiningBridge tool if unsure of the commodity name. Lists the 15 commodities that have monthly trade data (lithium carbonate, spodumene, cobalt hydroxide, nickel MHP, NdPr rare-earth oxides, gallium and germanium, and copper, aluminium, nickel, tin, zinc and lithium-ion battery scrap), split into primary (mined/refined) and secondary (scrap/recycled), with HS codes. These 15 are the scope of the trade, risk and sourcing tools; the website's supply models cover 65 critical minerals, and patent questions go to the CM-PATRA tools.
• Search trade flowsUse this when the user asks how much of a critical mineral, rare-earth oxide, battery material or metal scrap is being imported or exported, or how trade volumes are trending month to month. Returns US monthly import or export values (UN Comtrade) for one tracked commodity. Free tier returns the trailing three months; Pro returns the full series. Do not use for spot or futures prices.
• Commodity trade snapshotUse this when the user wants a quick picture of the trade position or main source countries for a critical mineral (e.g. who supplies lithium carbonate, cobalt hydroxide, nickel MHP or NdPr oxide, and from where). Returns the period covered, imports, exports, net position and lead partner country. Pro adds the full partner-country breakdown with shares.
• Assess supply concentration riskUse this when the user asks about supply-chain risk, dependence on China, supplier concentration or diversification for a critical mineral, rare earth or battery material. Scores supply concentration with a Herfindahl-Hirschman index over partner-country shares and gives an explicit China-exposure read. Free tier returns the risk band only; Pro returns the score and drivers.
• Screen counterpartiesUse this when the user is looking for miners, refiners, processors, recyclers or traders of critical minerals or rare earths in a given country (e.g. South Africa, Australia, Canada, USA, India, Indonesia). Screens the MiningBridge counterparty directory by country or free-text query. Free tier returns match counts and jurisdictions; Pro returns named entities with contact channels.
• Generate sourcing briefUse this when the user wants a complete sourcing or procurement brief for one tracked critical mineral, rare-earth oxide or scrap stream. Combines trade position and momentum, scored concentration risk, trade-corridor breakdown, and primary-versus-secondary (recycled) feedstock alternatives. Pro tier only.
• List research reportsUse this when the user asks about the supply chain, mining, processing, refining, end uses or market structure of a critical mineral or rare earth element. Lists MiningBridge research reports covering 65 minerals on the US 2025 and India 2023 critical-mineral lists, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, manganese, copper, aluminium, tin, zinc, gallium, germanium, antimony, tungsten, phosphate, the platinum-group metals and the rare earth elements (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, dysprosium, terbium and others). Filter by commodity, depth band or criticality list. Shows whether each report is published and free; structural briefs are free.
• Read a research reportUse this after list_reports to read a MiningBridge report on a critical mineral or rare earth: where it is mined and refined, which countries dominate, export controls, and uses in batteries, defence, aerospace and semiconductors. Returns the full text if the account is entitled to it, otherwise the opening section and the full contents list. Briefs are always free.
• Search the evidence baseUse this when the user asks a specific factual question about critical-mineral or rare-earth production, processing and refining capacity, export controls or trade measures, or country concentration (e.g. 'China gallium export controls', 'Indonesia nickel processing', 'DRC cobalt share'). Searches individual sourced claims, each with its publisher, so figures can be checked and cited. Do not use for live prices or investment advice.
• CM-PATRA: patents for a mineralUse this when the user asks about patents, inventions or processing technology for a critical mineral relevant to India: who is patenting lithium extraction, rare-earth separation, cobalt or nickel hydrometallurgy, graphite purification, battery recycling and similar. Lists reviewed patent families for one mineral, optionally filtered by processing stage and to Indian applicants only. Counts are floors for recent Indian-office filings. Do not use for patent legal status or for trade or price questions.
• CM-PATRA: patents vs funded R&DUse this when the user asks where India's critical-mineral technology gaps are, which minerals have patents but little funded R&D (or the reverse), or where R&D collaboration opportunities lie. Compares patent families with public R&D projects (Ministry of Mines S&T projects on SATYABHAMA, and JNARDDC ongoing and completed projects) for each India-list critical mineral. Mineral-level counts only, not record-level links. Omit mineral to compare all.
• CM-PATRA: track an R&D projectUse this when the user asks about a specific Indian public R&D project (a SATYABHAMA SNTMOM/... number, a JNARDDC project number such as JNARDDC/S-58, or words from its title) and which patents relate to it. Returns the project's title, status, sponsor (where listed) and minerals, with rule-based candidate patents: first those that share a mineral and a waste stream or title words, then others on the same minerals. Candidates are not verified outcomes of the project.
• CM-PATRA: check a patent recordUse this when the user wants to check one patent family in CM-PATRA: why it was labelled with a mineral and processing stage, its CPC codes, applicants, filing offices and links to verify it at the source. Legal status is not held; the result links to where it can be checked.

Disconnecting, privacy and support

• Each connected assistant appears as a key under Account, API and connector keys. Revoke it to disconnect.
• We receive only each tool request (for example “cobalt”), not your whole conversation, and we record which tools you call and how often to apply your allowance. See the privacy policy.
• Help: support@miningbridge.in

Figures are screening magnitudes from public sources, not price targets, valuations or investment advice.
