# Emissions API MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Emissions API lets you query satellite-derived data on carbon monoxide, methane, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. It turns your AI agent into an environmental analyst that can audit air quality and track regional gas trends across specific countries and dates without you needing to navigate complex satellite portals.

## Description

Emissions API lets you query satellite-derived data on carbon monoxide, methane, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide. It turns your AI agent into an environmental analyst that can audit air quality and track regional gas trends across specific countries and dates without you needing to navigate complex satellite portals. Usually, figuring out why a specific region's air quality is dipping means digging through dense portals, downloading messy files, and trying to make sense of atmospheric data. Emissions API changes that by putting the data directly into your conversation with your agent. Instead of hunting for numbers, you just ask for them. Whether you're looking for a historical trend of ozone levels or a current snapshot of carbon monoxide in a specific country, the data comes back ready to use. You can even get geographic data in formats that plug straight into your mapping software. It's about moving from how do I find this data to what does this data tell me. By connecting this to your workspace through the Vinkius catalog, you give your agent the eyes it needs to see the atmosphere in real-time. It takes the heavy lifting out of environmental research, letting you focus on the actual analysis rather than the data gathering.

## Tools

### get_carbon_monoxide
This tool fetches carbon monoxide emission data. It helps you identify local air quality issues by retrieving specific measurements.

### get_geojson_emissions
This tool pulls emission data in GeoJSON format. Use it to feed geographic data directly into your mapping software.

### get_methane
This tool retrieves methane concentration data. It helps you track greenhouse gas leaks across different regions.

### get_nitrogen_dioxide
This tool gets nitrogen dioxide levels for your research. It is a key metric for monitoring industrial pollution.

### get_ozone
This tool accesses ozone emission data. Use it to monitor atmospheric composition and trends over time.

### get_available_products
This tool shows every gas product in the database. It helps you identify which markers are relevant to your specific project.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the latest methane level in the US?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've pulled the methane data for the United States. Here are the recent readings:

| Region | Concentration (ppb) | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Northeast | 1850 | Stable |
| Midwest | 1890 | Peak |
| West Coast | 1820 | Stable |

The values have ranged between 1800 and 1900 ppb over the last 30 days. Would you like a summary of the peak days?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
List the gases I can track.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've scanned the catalog. You can track the following gas markers:

* **Carbon Monoxide**
* **Methane**
* **Ozone**
* **Nitrogen Dioxide**

I can retrieve emission data for any of these markers for specific regions or dates.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me the ozone levels for Germany.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've retrieved the measurement for Germany. The latest ozone level is approximately **0.03 mol/m²**. This reading was captured yesterday. Would you like to see the data for any other countries?
```

## Capabilities

### Query regional gas levels
Get atmospheric data for specific countries or coordinates instantly.

### Track historical trends
Look back at gas concentrations over specific date ranges.

### Export geographic data
Pull emission measurements in GeoJSON format for mapping.

### Audit specific gases
Check levels for methane, ozone, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.

### Browse gas types
View the full catalog of available gas markers for your research.

## Use Cases

### Tracking Methane Leaks
An operations lead asks for methane trends in the US over the last 30 days to identify potential industrial leaks.

### Air Quality Auditing
A sustainability lead queries carbon monoxide levels in a specific city to assess the impact of a new local factory.

### Policy Verification
A policy maker retrieves nitrogen dioxide data for a neighboring country to compare regional pollution standards.

### Mapping Pollution
A scientist gets GeoJSON data for ozone levels to create a heat map of atmospheric concentration for a research paper.

## Benefits

- Stop manual data hunting by getting regional gas levels directly through your AI client's chat interface.
- Analyze historical atmospheric trends over specific dates using the get_methane and get_ozone tools.
- Export research-ready geographic data using get_geojson_emissions for immediate use in mapping software.
- Conduct rapid air quality audits for specific countries or coordinates without needing a technical satellite portal.
- Identify the most relevant gas markers for your project by browsing the full catalog with get_available_products.
- Ground your climate research in precise, satellite-derived measurements that are updated in real-time.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get real-time, satellite-derived environmental data through a simple chat interface.

1. Subscribe to the Emissions API MCP from the Vinkius catalog.
2. Connect the Connector to your preferred client like Claude or Cursor.
3. Ask your agent for specific gas levels or regional reports.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can Emissions API track methane leaks?**
Yes, it pulls methane concentration data directly from satellite measurements, allowing you to identify trends and peaks in specific regions.

**Does Emissions API work for specific countries?**
Yes, you can query atmospheric data for any country or specific geographic coordinates to get localized results.

**Can I use the data in my maps?**
Yes, the Connector can retrieve emission data in GeoJSON format, which is the standard format for most mapping and GIS software.

**Is there a cost for the data?**
The underlying Emissions API is a public and free service, so there are no extra costs for pulling this data through your agent.

**What specific gases does it monitor?**
It monitors Carbon Monoxide, Methane, Ozone, and Nitrogen Dioxide, covering the most critical markers for air quality and climate research.

**How often is the data updated?**
The Connector provides access to both real-time satellite readings and historical data, depending on your specific research needs.

**Is an API Key required for Emissions API?**
No. Emissions API is a free and open service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.

**What gases can be audited via the agent?**
You can query Carbon Monoxide (`carbonmonoxide`), Methane (`methane`), Ozone (`ozone`), and Nitrogen Dioxide (`nitrogendioxide`) using specialized tools.

**Is the data historical or real-time?**
The API provides historical measurement data collected by the Sentinel-5P satellite, typically updated daily with a short processing lag.
