About Ember Climate MCP Server
Connect your AI agents to Ember Climate's open electricity dataset and gain instant access to global energy intelligence covering over 200 countries and regions.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 11 tools from Ember Climate through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns — chain multiple agents where one queries Ember Climate, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through the Vinkius.
What you can do
- Carbon Intensity Analysis — Track yearly and monthly carbon footprint (gCO2/kWh) of electricity grids worldwide
- Generation by Source — Break down electricity production by energy type: coal, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, and more
- Demand Trends — Analyze electricity consumption patterns in TWh with per-capita metrics across nations
- Power Sector Emissions — Monitor CO2 emissions from the power sector in megatonnes and percentage shares
- Renewable Capacity Tracking — Follow monthly wind and solar capacity installations in GW to measure clean energy deployment
- Multi-Country Comparison — Query multiple nations simultaneously using comma-separated country codes for comparative analysis

Ember Climate MCP Tools for OpenAI Agents SDK (11)
These 11 tools become available when you connect Ember Climate to OpenAI Agents SDK 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").
