How do I use this MCP with Claude?

You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, you can simply ask your Claude client to calculate emissions using the provided capabilities.

What kind of travel data can I input?

You can provide mileage for cars, flights, and public transit to get a complete picture of your transportation emissions.

Can I compare my footprint to other countries?

Yes, the generate_footprint_report capability allows you to compare your total footprint against benchmarks for the USA and Europe.

Does this MCP handle home energy data?

Yes, the calculate_home_emissions capability specifically analyzes electricity, gas, and heating oil usage.

What is included in the lifestyle emissions calculation?

The lifestyle capability assesses the carbon impact of your diet and your shopping habits.

How does the calculator determine my home emissions?

The calculate_home_emissions capability uses standardized EPA emission factors to convert your electricity (kWh), natural gas (therms), and heating oil (gallons) usage into kilograms of CO2e.

Can I compare my footprint to a specific region?

Yes. By using the generate_footprint_report capability, you can input your calculated emissions and specify either 'USA' or 'Europe' to see how you compare to regional benchmarks.

Does the capability include dietary impacts?

Yes, the calculate_lifestyle_emissions capability calculates annual CO2e based on your weekly meat and vegetarian servings, as well as your annual spending on goods.

What emission scopes are supported?

The server supports Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions.

How are reduction opportunities identified?

Reduction opportunities are identified by analyzing the ratio of venting and flaring to total fuel consumption via the calculate_emissions_summary capability.

Which standards does this follow?

Calculations follow the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol and IPCC methodologies.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

One connector, every AI

Carbon Footprint Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Carbon Footprint Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
