About SolarAnywhere API MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire solar energy research and site auditing workflow with SolarAnywhere, the authoritative source for high-resolution solar irradiance data. By connecting the SolarAnywhere API to your agent, you transform complex meteorological searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve real-time irradiance levels, audit typical meteorological year (TMY) data, and query specific site metadata without you ever touching a technical portal. Whether you are conducting renewable energy research or managing regional solar fleet constraints, your agent acts as a real-time solar consultant, ensuring your data is always verified and precise.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and SolarAnywhere API tool infrastructure. Connect 4 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
- Irradiance Auditing — Retrieve real-time Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) and Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) data for any coordinate pair instantly.
- Site Oversight — Audit all registered solar sites in your catalog to maintain a clear view of regional distribution and scale.
- Weather Discovery — Query Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) data to understand long-term solar potential for your energy projects.
- Atmospheric Intelligence — Retrieve temperature and irradiance metadata to assist in deep-dive solar performance classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your solar research workflow is always operational.
The SolarAnywhere API MCP Server exposes 4 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
