About NREL Solar Resource MCP Server
Connect your AI agent to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Solar Resource API to analyze solar potential and access historical radiation data through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and NREL Solar Resource tool infrastructure. Connect 2 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Solar Irradiance — Retrieve average solar irradiance data including Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), and Tilt at Latitude for specific coordinates.
- NSRDB Queries — Search the National Solar Radiation Database for the nearest datasets based on latitude/longitude, address, or Well-Known Text (WKT) geometry.
- Data Sourcing — Identify specific satellite or station-based datasets for renewable energy research and site assessment.
The NREL Solar Resource MCP Server exposes 2 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
