Connects to the UK Carbon Intensity API to pull real-time and forecasted carbon emissions data for the British electricity grid. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which means you can either use this standalone server or access it through their unified gateway alongside 673+ other data sources. No authentication required, which makes it dead simple to add to your MCP client. The ask_pipeworx natural language interface lets you query carbon data without knowing the exact tool names or parameters. Useful if you're building anything related to energy optimization, carbon footprint tracking, or green computing decisions that need to account for when the grid is cleanest in the UK.
Carbon MCP — UK Carbon Intensity API (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"carbon": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/carbon/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Carbon data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
