What is the NREL Energy Data MCP Server?
Connect to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) API through your AI agent and explore a vast archive of sustainable energy data and analysis tools using natural conversation.
What you can do
- Alternative Fuels — List and locate alternative fuel stations (Electric, Hydrogen, E85) globally, or find the nearest one to any address.
- Solar Production — Run PVWatts® estimates to calculate the potential energy production of photovoltaic systems based on specific system configurations.
- Resource Intelligence — Access detailed solar radiation data (GHI, DNI) and check geothermal resource potential for any coordinate.
- Utility Oversight — Retrieve residential and industrial electricity rates and identify which utility companies serve a specific area.
- Incentives & Laws — Browse federal and state laws and incentives for alternative fuels and energy-efficient vehicles.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch complete metadata and station details using their unique IDs.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
Is the NREL API Key free?
Yes! You can sign up for a free API key at https://developer.nrel.gov/signup/. Standard limits apply (1,000 requests per hour).
What is PVWatts used for?
PVWatts estimates the energy production and cost of energy of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) energy systems throughout the world.
Can I search for EV charging stations?
Yes! EV charging stations are included in the Alternative Fuel Stations dataset. Use the get_nearest_stations tool to find them near a specific location.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
