Ember Climate MCP Tools for Claude Code (11)
These 11 tools become available when you connect Ember Climate to Claude Code via MCP:
get_api_options
Use dataset (e.g., "electricity-generation"), temporal_resolution (e.g., "monthly", "yearly"), and filter_name (e.g., "entity", "series", "entity_code", "date", "year"). This tool is useful for discovering valid country codes, energy source types, and available date ranges before making specific data queries. Get available filter options for Ember electricity datasets
get_carbon_intensity_monthly
Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY-MM (e.g., "2023-01", "2024-12"). This helps analyze seasonal patterns in grid carbon footprint and track monthly decarbonization progress. Get monthly carbon intensity of electricity generation for countries/regions
get_carbon_intensity_yearly
Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY (e.g., "2020", "2023"). Returns emissions intensity data showing how clean or polluting the electricity grid is over time. Get yearly carbon intensity of electricity generation for countries/regions
get_electricity_demand_monthly
Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY-MM (e.g., "2023-01", "2024-12"). Useful for analyzing seasonal demand patterns, peak consumption periods, and demand forecasting. Get monthly electricity demand data for countries/regions
get_electricity_demand_yearly
Use entity or entity_code to specify countries (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY (e.g., "2020", "2023"). Essential for understanding energy consumption trends and comparing per-capita usage across nations. Get yearly electricity demand data for countries/regions
get_electricity_generation_monthly
). Returns generation in TWh and percentage share of total generation for each source. Use entity or entity_code to filter by country (e.g., "Brazil", "DE", "US"). Use start_date and end_date with format YYYY-MM (e.g., "2023-01", "2024-12"). Use series to filter by specific energy sources (e.g., "coal", "wind", "solar", "hydro", "nuclear", "gas").
