# GTA MCP Server Query 78,000+ trade policy interventions through Claude — tariffs, subsidies, export bans, and more from 200+ countries. ## What is Global Trade Alert? Global Trade Alert (GTA) is a transparency initiative by the St Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (SGEPT) that tracks government trade policy changes worldwide since November 2008. Unlike trade databases that rely on government self-reporting, GTA independently documents and verifies policy interventions using primary sources — official gazettes, ministry announcements, legislative records, and press releases. GTA covers all types of trade measures: not just tariffs, but subsidies, export restrictions, FDI barriers, public procurement rules, localisation requirements and more. Each intervention is classified by color: Red (harmful/discriminatory), Amber (likely harmful but uncertain), or Green (liberalising). The database contains over 78,000 documented interventions across 60+ jurisdictions. This breadth distinguishes GTA from the WTO's trade monitoring system, which captures only measures that governments voluntarily report. GTA reveals the full landscape of state intervention in markets — including measures governments prefer not to highlight. ## What can you ask? **Tariffs and trade barriers:** - "What tariffs has the United States imposed on China since January 2025?" - "Which countries have imposed tariffs affecting US exports in 2025?" **Critical minerals and supply chains:** - "What export controls has China imposed on rare earth elements?" - "Has the use of export restrictions increased since 2020?" **Subsidies and state aid:** - "Which countries subsidise their domestic semiconductor industry?" - "Which G20 countries have increased state aid to EV manufacturers since 2022?" **Trade negotiations:** - "What harmful measures has the EU imposed on US exports since 2024?" - "What measures has Brazil implemented affecting US agricultural exports?" **Trade defence:** - "Fin…
