## Description

**SkootEco connects your AI agents to manage corporate sustainability compliance end-to-end. It tracks direct, indirect (Scope 1, 2, 3) carbon emissions; calculates supply chain footprints; purchases certified carbon offsets programmatically; and generates required ESG reports aligned with TCFD and CSRD standards.**

When you connect your agent to this server, it first verifies the connection's health using `check_skooteco_status` and pulls basic company details with `get_account`. From there, you can start tracking. You log specific environmental incidents using `add_emission`, which logs a raw emission event into your record. To figure out where all your emissions come from, you check the total aggregate count via `get_emissions`; if you need to drill down, you get data broken out by source type with `get_emissions_by_category` or separate it strictly by GHG scope (Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3) using `get_emissions_by_scope`. Before tracking anything, you can call `list_categories` to see every potential emission bucket so you don't miss a data point.

Analyzing the source material is key. You pull historical performance metrics for benchmarking or showing growth rates with `get_metrics`, and you get a high-level summary of your current environmental standing using `get_report`. For board meetings, you can grab a public-facing summary of your overall sustainability impact data through `get_impact_profile`. The full picture—the deep dive into compliance status—comes from generating the complete ESG report package via `get_esg_report`.

When it comes to mitigation and reporting requirements, this thing handles heavy lifting. You don't have to manually compile documents; your agent generates structured reports that meet international standards like CSRD and TCFD criteria. It pulls all necessary data points into a single, ready-to-present document using `get_esg_report`. To get an idea of what offsets are available, you call `list_offsets` to see every certified carbon option. You can then use `get_offset` for detailed info on those programs before executing the purchase with `purchase_offset`, which buys verified carbon credits and neutralizes your measured emissions.

For planting efforts, you've got two tools: first, you get a list of specific climate mitigation projects available via `list_projects`; then, you pull details about any funded reforestation opportunities using `get_project`. You initiate the funding process for a single tree planting effort with `plant_tree`, and to track your success story, you retrieve the total count of trees planted through SkootEco’s programs using `get_tree_count`.

It's all about making sure those numbers line up. If you need general info on available offsets before buying, `get_offset` shows you what's out there. You can also get a list of all possible categories for tracking emissions using `list_categories` to make sure your initial logging with `add_emission` is exhaustive.

## Capabilities

### Calculate full GHG emissions
The agent aggregates and reports your total Scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon footprint from various sources.

### Analyze emission sources by scope/category
You isolate specific parts of the impact—for example, separating travel (Scope 3) emissions from utility bills (Scope 2).

### Automate carbon offset purchasing
The agent researches and buys certified carbon credits or funds reforestation projects directly through API calls.

### Generate regulatory compliance reports
You create structured ESG reports that meet the criteria for international standards like CSRD and TCFD.

### Track sustainability performance metrics
The agent pulls specific key figures, such as total impact profiles or overall metric summaries, for board presentations.

## Use Cases

### Preparing for the Annual Board Review
The Sustainability Officer needs proof of Scope 3 reduction. They ask their agent to run `get_emissions_by_scope` (Scope 3) and then cross-reference it with `list_categories`. The agent calculates the total, identifies the biggest gap (e.g., air travel), and automatically suggests offsetting options using `list_offsets`.

### Mitigating a Sudden Operational Spike
The operations team just got new machinery that generates unexpected Scope 1 emissions. Instead of manually calculating the impact, they use `add_emission` immediately to log the data point and then run `get_metrics` to see how this single event changes their quarterly compliance score.

### Finishing a Project Milestone
A major supply chain partner is onboarded, requiring a full impact assessment. The agent first uses `list_projects` to find suitable climate initiatives and then executes `get_project` details before recommending the optimal mitigation path via `purchase_offset`.

### Creating the Public Impact Report
The PR team needs a quick, easy-to-read impact summary. They ask for the 'Impact Profile,' which runs `get_impact_profile`. This instantly gathers all necessary data points to publish their public sustainability report without pulling multiple internal dashboards.

## Benefits

- You get a full compliance picture. Instead of just seeing Scope 1 data, you can combine results from `get_emissions_by_scope` and `list_categories` to build a complete, audit-ready profile.
- Offsetting is instant. When you calculate excess emissions, the agent doesn't just tell you the problem; it uses `list_offsets` and `purchase_offset` to solve it immediately.
- Reporting becomes background work. Generating complex documents like CSRD or TCFD reports requires multiple data points—the single call to `get_esg_report` handles this orchestration.
- Tracking physical impact is simple. You can track your corporate commitment using `plant_tree` and then check the cumulative result with `get_tree_count`, making your impact tangible.
- Data quality checks are built in. Running `check_skooteco_status` upfront ensures that when you try to run a mission-critical report, you won't hit an API failure.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that your AI client handles the entire sequence—from identifying what emissions you have to buying offsets for them—without manual intervention.

1. Subscribe to the SkootEco MCP Server and provide your API Key in your Vinkius provider dashboard.
2. Ask your AI client to identify data gaps (e.g., 'What are my current Scope 3 emissions?'). The agent uses tools like `get_emissions` or `list_categories`).
3. The agent executes the necessary multi-step plan, gathering raw data, running calculations, and finally compiling the full report using `get_esg_report`.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I track my full Scope 3 supply chain emissions with get_emissions_by_scope?**
The agent pulls data for all three scopes, but you must guide it using `get_emissions_by_scope` and specifying the correct scope (Scope 3). This tool isolates indirect emissions from your value chain.

**Can I get a full ESG report using get_esg_report()?**
Yes. `get_esg_report` generates a comprehensive document aligned with major frameworks (like CSRD and TCFD). It pulls data from multiple underlying tools to ensure the report is holistic.

**What should I do after I calculate my total emissions using get_emissions()?**
After getting the total, you need to address it. First, run `list_offsets` to see what's available, and then use `purchase_offset` to neutralize that amount.

**How does plant_tree help my overall carbon tracking?**
`plant_tree` funds a specific mitigation action. The system tracks this commitment via the resulting data points, which you can verify using `get_tree_count` to show physical impact.

**How do I verify my connection status using get_account()?**
The tool confirms if your API key is active and successfully linked to SkootEco. It returns a current account snapshot, including your unique ID and billing tier details. This is the first step before running any data commands.

**When I use add_emission(), what mandatory fields must I provide?**
You need to specify three key pieces of information: the emission source category, the associated scope (1, 2, or 3), and the precise metric tons of CO2e. The tool will fail if any one of these values is missing.

**How do I find all available options using list_categories()?**
This function returns a structured list of every recognized emission category within the SkootEco system. You must use these exact names when logging data with add_emission(). It ensures your emissions are correctly classified.

**What details does get_project() retrieve for a specific climate project?**
It pulls comprehensive data on the project, including its geographical location, total carbon tonnage offset potential, and current certification status. This gives you deep context beyond just the purchase amount.

**How can my AI retrieve a breakdown of our emissions by scope?**
Simply use the `get_emissions_by_scope` tool. Your agent will instantly fetch data categorized by GHG Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (energy), or Scope 3 (supply chain), perfectly aligned with the GHG Protocol.

**Is it possible to automatically fund reforestation projects?**
Yes. By executing the `plant_trees` action, your AI agent can programmatically fund tree planting projects to offset emissions, and return the updated total tree count in real time.

**Can I automatically generate ESG compliance reports for stakeholders?**
Absolutely. Ask the agent to use the `generate_esg_report` tool. It will compile your sustainability data into compliance reports aligned with CSRD and TCFD frameworks, ready for your next board meeting.
