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

Site Impact Analysis

A researcher asks the agent to find all Superfund sites in a specific region to assess local environmental impact.

02

Safety Planning

A safety officer checks hourly UV forecasts to determine when outdoor work should be paused.

03

Data Aggregation

A developer uses GraphQL to count the number of toxic release facilities per state for a report.

04

Custom Environmental Apps

FAQ

Questions EPA Envirofacts owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an EPA API key to use this MCP?

    No. This MCP accesses public EPA data that does not require a private API key.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I perform complex queries or just simple searches?

    Yes. You can perform simple searches via REST or execute complex aggregations using GraphQL.

  • 04

    What kind of environmental data is available?

    The MCP provides access to UV forecasts, Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) records, and Superfund (SEMS) data.

  • 05

    How is the UV data formatted?

    You can get UV forecasts by ZIP code or by City and State, in both hourly and daily formats.

  • 06

    How can I check the UV Index for a specific location?

    Use the uv_hourly_zip or uv_hourly_city_state capabilities. Simply provide a 5-digit US ZIP code or the city name and 2-letter state abbreviation to receive the latest hourly forecast data.

  • 07

    Can I search for specific facilities in the EPA database?

    Yes! Use the rest_query capability. 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.

  • 08

    Does this server support complex data aggregations?

    Absolutely. The graphql_query capability allows you to execute custom GraphQL strings to perform advanced data fetching, aggregations, and subqueries across the EPA's DMAP API infrastructure.
