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 · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Electricity Maps.

  1. 01

    Get power production breakdown

    This capability provides the specific energy sources currently powering a selected zone. It breaks down the mix of solar, wind, nuclear, coal, and other sources.

  2. 02

    Get carbon intensity

    This capability retrieves the real-time carbon intensity for a specific region. It returns the gCO2eq/kWh value for the requested zone.

  3. 03

    List energy zones

    This capability returns a list of all available energy zones that the MCP can access.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Workload Optimization

A cloud engineer asks the agent to find the cleanest time to run heavy compute tasks.

02

Emissions Auditing

A sustainability manager pulls carbon data to verify corporate environmental impact.

03

Energy Transition Research

A researcher tracks how much wind and solar is actually hitting the grid in a specific country.

04

Smart Appliance Timing

A user checks when the local grid is greenest to run energy intensive appliances.

Automate a task

Put Electricity Maps to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Electricity Maps 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 Electricity Maps 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Electricity Maps, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Electricity Maps. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
