What is the EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) MCP Server?
Connect to the EPA Envirofacts database to query a wealth of environmental information directly from the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
What you can do
- UV Index Forecasts — Retrieve hourly and daily UV Index forecasts by ZIP code or City/State to monitor solar radiation levels.
- Facility Research — Query the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) and Superfund (SEMS) databases to find environmental records for specific sites.
- Advanced Data Exploration — Use GraphQL to perform complex queries, aggregations, and cross-table analysis across the EPA's DMAP API.
- Flexible REST Queries — Search any table in the Envirofacts database with custom filters, operators, and pagination.
- Public Data Access — Access official government records on air, water, and waste without complex registration.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server

Frequently asked questions
How can I check the UV Index for a specific location?
Use the uv_hourly_zip or uv_hourly_city_state tools. Simply provide a 5-digit US ZIP code or the city name and 2-letter state abbreviation to receive the latest hourly forecast data.
Can I search for specific facilities in the EPA database?
Yes! Use the rest_query tool. You can specify tables like 'tri.tri_facility' or 'sems.envirofacts_site' and apply filters using operators like 'equals' or 'contains' to find specific sites and their environmental records.
Does this server support complex data aggregations?
Absolutely. The graphql_query tool allows you to execute custom GraphQL strings to perform advanced data fetching, aggregations, and subqueries across the EPA's DMAP API infrastructure.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query EPA Envirofacts (Environmental Data) tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
