What is the 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my SolarAnywhere API Key?
Log in to your SolarAnywhere account, and you will find your API Key in your dashboard or profile settings. Copy and paste it below.
What irradiance parameters are provided?
The API provides Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (DHI) metadata.
Can the agent show historical typical year data?
Yes. The get_typical_solar_year tool retrieves TMY data for any coordinate pair to assist in long-term performance auditing.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
