Calculate carbon footprints in real-time

The `create_estimate` tool computes the exact carbon emissions of shipping routes, flights, or consumer purchases right inside your chat. Claude Desktop parses your raw shipping logs or travel itineraries, extracts the distances, and passes them to this tool to output precise metric tons of CO2. Your agent uses `list_estimates` via the MCP Server to compare historical calculations directly on your machine. This lets you audit shipping files or calculate your company's monthly operational footprint without leaving the desktop app.

Buy verified offsets using Claude Desktop

The `create_purchase` tool executes carbon offset transactions directly through Cloverly's verified registry network. When your team approves an estimate, Claude Desktop initiates the purchase and returns the transaction receipt details in seconds. You can track every order using `list_purchases` to maintain a local ledger of your environmental impact. This local execution path runs safely on your machine, giving you direct access to offset markets.

Audit green projects with your Claude Desktop MCP Server

The `get_project` tool pulls detailed registry data, verification documents, and geographic locations for active carbon mitigation projects. Your Claude Desktop interface displays these details side-by-side with your estimates so you know exactly where your offset money goes. To report these numbers to stakeholders, the `get_impact_summary` tool aggregates your total offset history into clean, structured data. This lets your agent build markdown reports on your local machine using actual, verified environmental metrics.
