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.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Electricity Maps Carbon Intelligence tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 3 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
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 Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
