Connects Claude to the EU Joint Research Centre's PVGIS system for solar energy calculations. You get two tools: monthly_radiation for long-term irradiation averages on horizontal or tilted surfaces, and tmy for typical meteorological year data with hourly resolution. Useful when you're modeling photovoltaic system performance, estimating solar potential for a location, or need climate-representative datasets for energy simulations. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either use this standalone or get it bundled with their 250+ other data sources. The ask_pipeworx function lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly, which is handy for exploratory work.
PVGIS MCP — EU Joint Research Centre PV system modeler
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
monthly_radiation | Long-term monthly average global / diffuse / direct irradiation on horizontal / inclined plane. |
tmy | Typical Meteorological Year — hourly synthetic year representative of the climate. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pvgis": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pvgis/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 Pvgis data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
