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.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Carbon-Aware Computing

An engineer instructs their agent to schedule heavy data processing tasks only when the local grid intensity is at its lowest.

02

Corporate Sustainability Reporting

A sustainability officer uses the AI to pull historical intensity data for global office locations to compile carbon reports.

03

Grid Trend Analysis

A data analyst asks the agent to compare historical power breakdowns with current renewable production levels.

04

Real-time Energy Auditing

A facility manager monitors the current energy mix to verify the impact of local renewable energy usage.

Automate a task

Put ElectricityMap 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

ElectricityMap 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 ElectricityMap 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. 8 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 ElectricityMap, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work ElectricityMap owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing energy impact and data-driven sustainability goals.

  • 01

    Sustainability Officers

    They hand off carbon reporting and corporate footprint monitoring to their AI agent.

  • 02

    Software Engineers

    They use the data to build carbon-aware applications that trigger jobs during green energy peaks.

  • 03

    Data Analysts

    They correlate energy production trends with climate or market data.

FAQ

Questions ElectricityMap owners ask.

  • 01

    How many regions can I monitor?
