What types of wind and solar data are available?

DNV Renewables provides over 40 climate datasets including: Mesoscale wind data (global and regional), Solar irradiance (GHI, DNI, DHI), Reanalysis datasets (ERA5, MERRA-2), Global wind energy atlas, Temperature, pressure, humidity, and more. Data covers onshore and offshore locations worldwide with time series from 1980s to present.

How do I get an API token for DNV Renewables?

Visit the DNV Renewables platform and contact your DNV account manager or visit the EMD/DNV Renewables website to request API access. Once your account is provisioned, you'll receive an API access token from your account dashboard. This token authenticates your requests and is linked to your subscription plan.

How does the data ordering process work?

The data ordering process is: 1) Check availability for your location, 2) Place an order with dataset, coordinates, and time period, 3) Wait ~30 seconds for processing, 4) Check order status until 'success', 5) Download the generated time series file. Note: Download links expire after 12 hours, so download promptly. Rate limit is 10 orders per 10 minutes.

What is mesoscale climate data and why is it useful?

Mesoscale climate data comes from numerical weather prediction models that simulate atmospheric conditions at regional scales (typically 1-50 km resolution). Unlike single-point measurements, mesoscale data provides spatially consistent, long-term time series essential for renewable energy resource assessment. It's used for wind farm siting, solar project planning, and long-term energy yield analysis because it captures multi-decadal climate patterns that short-term measurements miss.

DNV Renewables + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating DNV Renewables MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
