Predict crop development stages and harvest timing using Growing Degree Units (GDU).

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides tools to calculate Growing Degree Units (GDU), a critical metric for predicting crop phenology. By processing temperature data, it allows AI agents to track thermal accumulation from planting through maturity. Use calculate_daily_gdu to compute daily heat units, get_cumulative_gdu to sum heat over time, predict_growth_stage to identify current V-stages or R-stages, and predict_maturity_and_harvest to estimate physiological maturity dates and harvest windows.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_daily_gdu

Ensure all required temperature parameters are provided. Calculates the GDU value for a single day based on different mathematical methods

get_cumulative_gdu

Provide the base, upper threshold, and date range. Calculates the total heat accumulated from the planting date up to a specific target date

predict_growth_stage

Provide the total GDU, crop type, and stage thresholds. Identifies which growth stage (V-stage or R-stage) the crop is likely in based on cumulative heat

predict_maturity_and_harvest

Provide planting date, required GDU, daily forecast, base temp, and upper threshold. Estimates the date when the crop will reach maturity and the subsequent harvest window

Calculate the GDU for a day with a max temp of 30°C, min temp of 15°C, base temp of 10°C, upper threshold of 35°C using the standard method.

The calculated GDU for that day is 12.5.

What growth stage is a corn crop in if it has accumulated 800 GDUs?

Based on the provided thresholds, the corn is currently in the V12 stage.

Estimate the maturity date for a crop planted on May 1st that requires 1200 GDUs to mature, given a forecast of steady temperatures.

The crop is estimated to reach maturity on July 15th, with a harvest window starting July 18th.

A GDU is a measure of heat accumulation used to predict how quickly a crop will develop through its various growth stages.
