About Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence MCP Server

Equip your AI agent with real-time global energy intelligence through the Electricity Maps MCP server. This integration provides instant access to the carbon intensity of electricity production and the detailed power breakdown (solar, wind, nuclear, coal, etc.) for over 100 countries and regions. Your agent can retrieve the exact gCO2eq/kWh for specific zones and monitor the renewable percentage of the grid. Whether you are optimizing server workloads for sustainability, auditing corporate emissions, or researching global energy transitions, your agent acts as a dedicated energy analyst through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 3 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Carbon Intensity Monitoring — Get real-time carbon intensity data for specific countries or regions.
Power Mix Breakdown — Fetch the detailed mix of energy sources currently powering a specific grid.
Sustainability Auditing — Compare the environmental impact of electricity across different geographical zones.
Renewable Tracking — Identify the current percentage of renewable energy in the production mix.

The Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence MCP Server exposes 3 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence 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.
