How to Use the Watershed Climate MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I list all available carbon inventories with Watershed Climate and Claude Code?

Run listinventories first. This command pulls a comprehensive list of your organization's historical GHG inventories, including the year and status for each Scope 1, 2, and 3 measurement.

Q: What are the required steps to calculate emissions with Watershed Climate and Claude Code?

You must use createupload first. Then you upload records via uploaddatarecords, validate using validateupload, and finally trigger the calculation engine with submitupload. It's a strict sequence.

Q: How can I check emissions reduction targets in my scripts with Watershed Climate and Claude Code?

Use listreductiontargets to fetch all defined goals. You can then inspect the baseline year, target year, and required percentage drop for compliance checking.

Q: Where do I get detailed info on a specific report with Watershed Climate and Claude Code?

First, list available reports using listreports. Once you have the ID, call getreport to retrieve the full structured data payload for that disclosure framework.

Perplexity

Automate full end-to-end emissions processing in a pipeline.

Build an automated job that first creates the necessary data container using `create_upload`. Next, use `list_uploads` to get all existing IDs, then loop through them, appending activity records via `upload_data_records`. Finally, run `validate_upload` and submit with `submit_upload` for background processing. This entire sequence works headless. It's perfect for a cron job or GitHub Action where you need to calculate emissions without any GUI interaction.

Check status and retrieve reports from the CLI.

When running in CI/CD, tracking progress is key. After submitting data, use `get_task_status` until the job completes. For final outputs, run `list_reports` to find the required report ID. Then, execute `get_report` to pipe the formatted climate data directly into a file or another script for further processing. The CLI approach lets you handle large volumes of data and process results without worrying about timeouts.

Validate and update activity records programmatically.

Before submitting sensitive emissions data, run `list_measurements` to see the current calculated values. If an error is found, you can correct it using `update_upload_data_record`. This requires knowing the specific record ID from `list_upload_data_records`. This mechanism lets you write robust scripts that self-correct data inputs before they are submitted to Watershed Climate.
