This Connector changes that by giving your AI agent direct access to a massive database of verified data. Instead of guessing or manually searching through PDFs, you can ask your agent to find specific factors for electricity in a certain country or estimate the footprint of a shipping route. It handles the heavy lifting of mapping your activities to standardized codes like ISIC or NACE, making it way easier to build accurate reports. Whether you're trying to figure out the carbon cost of a new product line or need to bulk-process hundreds of logistics routes, this tool does the math based on verified data. You can find this and thousands of other tools in the Vinkius catalog to build out your full sustainability stack. It turns your AI into a carbon accounting expert that knows the numbers as well as you do. It takes the guesswork out of sustainability. You get to stop worrying about whether your numbers are up to date and start focusing on how to actually reduce your impact. ## Tools ### batch_estimate_emissions Run up to 100 emission calculations in a single request using a JSON array. This is perfect for processing large logistics datasets. ### estimate_by_classification Calculate emissions based on industry codes like ISIC or NACE. This ensures your data aligns with global reporting standards. ### estimate_emissions Get a carbon footprint estimate for a specific activity by providing its parameters. Use this for quick, one-off calculations. ### list_categories Get a full list of available emission categories. This helps you see the full scope of what you can measure. ### list_regions See every region supported by the Climatiq database. Use this to verify coverage for your global operations. ### search_emission_factors Search the Climatiq database for specific emission factors by sector or region. This replaces manual research with instant results. ### list_sectors View all available emission sectors. This helps you find the right category for your specific business data. ### list_sources See the different data sources used for emission factors. This is useful for verifying the quality of your data. ### list_units Get a list of all supported units of measure accepted by the API. This ensures your inputs are formatted correctly. ### list_years See which years have available emission factors in the database. Use this to ensure your reports use current data. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find the emission factors for electricity in Germany for 2023. ``` **Response:** ``` **Searching Climatiq database...** I found the following factors for **Germany (2023)**: | Activity | Factor ID | Source | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Electricity supplied from grid | `electricity-supply_grid-source_residual_mix` | Validated | Would you like me to use this factor for a calculation? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the carbon footprint of a truck driving 500km on diesel? ``` **Response:** ``` Based on the Climatiq data, a truck traveling **500km** on diesel results in approximately **240 kg of CO2e**. * **Distance:** 500 km * **Fuel Type:** Diesel * **Estimated Impact:** 240 kg CO2e This estimate uses the standard fuel consumption and emission factors for heavy-duty vehicles. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me a list of all the regions you can calculate footprints for. ``` **Response:** ``` I can provide carbon footprint estimates for a wide range of regions. Here are some of the major regions supported by the database: * **Europe** (including Germany, UK, France) * **North America** (USA, Canada) * **Asia Pacific** * **Latin America** You can specify any of these regions in your next request. ``` ## Capabilities ### Search emission factors Find specific data points by sector, region, and year. ### Estimate carbon footprints Get CO2e results for specific activities like travel or energy use. ### Bulk process calculations Run up to 100 calculations at once for large datasets. ### Map to industry codes Use standardized classifications like ISIC, NACE, and NAICS for accurate reporting. ### Explore data metadata See available categories and units to structure your reports. ## Use Cases ### Logistics Footprint A manager asks the agent to calculate the CO2e for 50 different shipping routes using batch_estimate_emissions. ### Industry Benchmarking A sustainability lead uses estimate_by_classification to compare the carbon impact of two different manufacturing sectors. ### Product Design A designer wants to know the carbon cost of a specific material and asks the agent to find factors using search_emission_factors. ### Annual Reporting A team uses list_years and list_regions to identify all available data points for their annual global sustainability report. ## Benefits - Stop hunting for manual data. Use search_emission_factors to find verified data points for specific regions and years instantly. - Handle large datasets quickly. Use batch_estimate_emissions to process up to 100 calculations in one go instead of one by one. - Align with global standards. Use estimate_by_classification to ensure your reports follow ISIC, NACE, or NAICS codes. - Build structured reports. Use list_categories and list_sectors to understand the full scope of measurable data. - Verify your data sources. Use list_sources to ensure the numbers you're reporting come from reliable, scientifically validated origins. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you get accurate, data-backed carbon metrics without the manual research. 1. Connect your Climatiq API key to your AI client through Vinkius. 2. Describe the activity you want to measure, including weight, distance, or energy type. 3. Get a precise CO2e estimate or a list of relevant emission factors. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can the Climatiq Carbon Calculations MCP help with my company's annual carbon report?** Yes, it helps you find accurate emission factors and calculate footprints for your specific activities, which are the core components of a sustainability report. **Does this Connector support international shipping routes?** Yes, you can search for emission factors across various regions to calculate the carbon impact of global logistics and transport. **How does the Climatiq Carbon Calculations MCP handle different industries?** It uses standard codes like ISIC and NACE, allowing you to calculate emissions based on specific industry classifications. **Can I calculate multiple carbon footprints at once?** Yes, the Connector supports batch processing, so you can send a list of activities and get multiple CO2e estimates in a single request. **What kind of data is used for these carbon calculations?** The Connector connects to Climatiq, which uses scientifically validated emission factors for sectors like energy, transportation, and industry. **Can I use this to find specific emission factors for my local region?** You can use the search tool to look for factors by region and year to find the most relevant data for your specific location. **Where do I get a Climatiq API Key?** You can sign up for a developer account at the [**Climatiq Dashboard**](https://www.climatiq.io/dashboard) to generate your API Bearer Token.
