Carbon Intensity Uk
pipeworx-io/mcp-carbon-intensity-uk
This server pulls real-time carbon intensity data from the UK's National Grid ESO, letting you check how clean the electricity grid is at any moment. It's part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which means you can either use it standalone or tap into their broader collection of 701+ data sources. The implementation uses their ask_pipeworx pattern where you ask questions in plain English instead of calling specific tools directly. Useful if you're building energy-aware applications, carbon tracking dashboards, or anything that needs to know whether now is a good time to run that heavy compute job based on grid cleanliness.
