Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 8 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
The headaches of manual carbon reporting are real., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
Today, figuring out your energy footprint means juggling multiple dashboards. You pull last month's power breakdown data into one spreadsheet, then you manually cross-reference the dates with regional grid reports to calculate the corresponding CO2 output. It takes hours of copy-pasting and assumes every source has standardized reporting formats.
With this MCP, your agent handles the complexity. You ask for a carbon audit across multiple regions, and it pulls the required data—like get_carbon_intensity_history and get_power_breakdown_history—and gives you a consolidated report ready for review. The tedious manual spreadsheet work vanishes.
ElectricityMap Gives You Granular Power Visibility
You no longer have to rely on generalized regional averages. Instead of accepting a single number, your agent can call get_power_breakdown_latest and immediately tell you that the power mix is 60% wind and 40% natural gas. This level of detail was previously trapped in specialized utility reports.
This immediate visibility changes everything. You don't just report a carbon number; you explain *why* the number changed, citing the exact shift in generation sources. It makes your sustainability claims accurate, defensible, and verifiable.
What your AI can actually do with this
This MCP connects your AI agent to global grid transparency data. You can track how much carbon electricity generates right now, check historical trends over years, or forecast future intensity levels in specific zones. Need to schedule a large data processing job? Check the 24-hour forecasts to run it when wind and solar production are at their peak, minimizing your project's carbon footprint automatically.
You can also get a full power breakdown, showing exactly what mix of energy—like gas, nuclear, or renewables—is powering any given area. If you're building complex systems, Vinkius makes sure this data feeds seamlessly into your workflow from any MCP-compatible client.
019ea5e9-8e1e-70bb-b272-b256eaceaec3 Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that you ask a question about energy, and your AI client gets an immediate, detailed answer based on global grid data.
Subscribe to the ElectricityMap MCP and enter your API key.
Tell your AI client which zone or GPS coordinate you need data for (e.g., 'France').
The agent calls the appropriate tool, and you get back precise carbon intensity figures, power breakdowns, or historical trends.
Who is this actually for?
Sustainability Officers need to automate complex carbon reporting across international offices. Data Analysts require the ability to correlate energy trends with market pricing or climate models. Software Engineers are building applications that must run responsibly, triggering background jobs only when green power is abundant.
Automates carbon footprint reporting for corporate offices globally by checking the latest and historical energy intensity data.
Correlates electricity production trends with market pricing or climate models using power breakdown and historical analysis tools.
Builds carbon-aware applications that automatically schedule high-demand jobs to run when the grid forecasts minimal carbon intensity.
What Changes When You Connect
Automate compliance reporting by using get_carbon_intensity_history to audit a zone’s energy usage over years, giving you clear documentation for sustainability reports.
Schedule compute-heavy jobs intelligently. Use get_carbon_intensity_forecast to identify the next few hours when solar and wind power are expected to peak, saving you money and carbon.
Instantly see where power is coming from. The get_power_breakdown_latest tool gives immediate visibility into whether a zone is running on coal or clean renewables.
Plan for the future with confidence. Forecasts using get_carbon_intensity_forecast let you commit to timelines knowing exactly when the carbon intensity will drop below your target threshold.
Avoid guessing which areas are covered. Run list_zones first to confirm all available geographical zones, ensuring your AI agent never fails due to a missing coordinate.
See it in action
Optimizing data processing jobs
A software engineer needs to run millions of simulations. Instead of running the job randomly, they ask their agent to check get_carbon_intensity_forecast for the next 48 hours and schedule the job only for periods where solar production is highest.
Auditing corporate travel impact
A sustainability officer needs to prove carbon reduction across global offices. They use get_carbon_intensity_history to compare a region's energy mix from last year versus this quarter, generating verifiable proof of improvement.
Real-time operational monitoring
An operations team needs immediate status on a facility in a foreign zone. They use get_power_breakdown_latest to instantly know if the grid is currently reliant on gas, or if clean power sources are active.
Market entry planning
A data analyst is scoping out new markets and needs energy risk assessment. They check get_marginal_carbon_intensity_latest to understand the immediate carbon impact of simply turning on a grid in that zone.
The honest tradeoffs
Assuming real-time data is enough
Only checking get_carbon_intensity_latest because it's fast, even if the current reading was due to a temporary spike or dip.
Always pair the latest check with get_carbon_intensity_forecast. This gives you not just what's happening now, but also how long that condition is expected to last.
Ignoring zone specifics
Running a general query without knowing if the data covers your specific regional office coordinates.
First, run list_zones. This confirms you are querying against an approved and supported geographical area before proceeding with any analysis.
Mixing up power mix types
Confusing the current operational status (get_power_breakdown_latest) with long-term trends.
If you need to see how generation has shifted over years, use get_power_breakdown_history. If you only need 'right now,' use the latest tool.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if your primary concern is the measurable environmental cost of electricity—the carbon footprint, or the source mix (wind vs coal). You don't just want a number; you need context. If you only need to know 'what time it is,' then stick with general weather APIs. But if you are planning anything that involves significant power consumption, this data is critical. For example, if your goal is simply to list all available zones for later use, use list_zones. However, if the real goal is to find out when those zones will be greenest, you must combine get_carbon_intensity_forecast with other tools. Don't try to calculate historical trends using only current data; always check get_carbon_intensity_history to build a complete picture.
Questions you might have
How far out can I forecast using get_carbon_intensity_forecast? +
The tool provides 24-hour forecasts for carbon intensity. This allows you to plan energy consumption spikes knowing precisely when the grid is predicted to be cleanest.
Can ElectricityMap tell me what power sources are currently active in a zone? +
Yes, use get_power_breakdown_latest. This tool gives you an immediate percentage split of all generating sources, like solar, wind, and gas.
Do I need to know the exact coordinates for every query? +
No. While precise GPS coordinates work, you can also list supported zones first using list_zones to find a general regional code that works with most queries.
What is the difference between get_carbon_intensity_latest and get_marginal_carbon_intensity_latest? +
The latest carbon intensity gives the overall zone reading. The marginal tool specifically reports the carbon impact based on which source was needed most recently to keep the lights on.
Can I check historical power mix data for a specific date? +
Absolutely. Call get_power_breakdown_history, and you can input specific dates to see exactly how different sources were contributing to the grid at that time.
