Connect Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence MCP to Cline
Create your Vinkius account to connect Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence to Cline and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Instant carbon intensity lookups
Cline executes `get_carbon_intensity` to fetch grid status for any target region. It uses this data to make informed decisions about where your code runs. No more manual checks. The agent grabs the gCO2eq/kWh value and compares it against your sustainability targets.
Live grid production breakdown
You can tell Cline to audit the energy mix using `get_power_production_breakdown`. It breaks down the percentage of solar, wind, and fossil fuels on the grid. The agent then writes these findings into your documentation. It gives you the proof you need for your stakeholders.
Zone management via MCP
Cline queries `list_energy_zones` to find the most efficient grid locations. It keeps an updated list of all available regions in its active session. It uses this list to verify zone codes before running any tool. You get accurate, actionable data every single time.
