DC Hub — Data Center Intelligence MCP Server

DC Hub MCP Server

Real-time data-center, power & energy intelligence for AI agents.

👉 Try it free in your browser — no signup, no key: dchub.cloud/playground — run live queries against 21,000+ facilities, 300+ markets & real-time grids. Then add the MCP server or grab a free key.

The only MCP server combining facility data, infrastructure, and live grid intelligence into one queryable interface. Built for Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and any AI assistant doing data center site selection, energy analysis, or market research.

⭐ Star this repo — if DC Hub is useful to your agents, a star helps other builders (and their AI assistants) discover it across the MCP registries; it's the #1 signal Smithery, Glama & awesome-mcp-servers rank on. → Star azmartone67/dchub-mcp-server

What you can do with it

"What's the current grid headroom in PJM?"
"Show me AWS data center construction pipeline in Ohio"
"Compare ERCOT vs PJM capacity prices over the last 30 days"
"Find data centers within 50km of Northern Virginia substations >230kV"
"What's the live demand and generation mix in CAISO right now?"
"Is behind-the-meter gas power cheaper than the grid in Texas?"
"What's the grid mix in Atlanta (SOCO) and is power available?"
"Get fiber routes between Ashburn and Atlanta"

Your AI assistant gets real-time, structured answers — not links to PDFs.

What's inside

• 21,000+ data center facilities across 170+ countries — operator, capacity, location, fiber connectivity
• 126,427 substations with voltage class, available capacity estimates
• Real-time grid telemetry — live load + generation mix across the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE) + 40+ EIA balancing authorities (Atlanta, Carolinas, Florida, Pacific NW...), plus Great Britain (NESO), 24 European ENTSO-E zones, Taiwan & Australia — refreshed ~every 5 min
• Interconnection-queue snapshots with per-ISO BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID verdicts (e.g. ERCOT ~225 GW of data-center load in the interconnection queue)
• 2,000+ tracked M&A transactions + AI capacity index + hyperscaler $1B+ deal tracker
• Transmission lines, gas pipelines, fiber routes — the full infrastructure stack
• NEPA filings for upcoming federal energy + data center projects
• Tax incentives by state with eligibility details
• Market intelligence — 300+ markets scored daily with DCPI BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID verdicts, plus facilities tracked across 170+ countries

53 MCP tools across facility search, market intel, grid + interconnection, renewable-energy, site analysis, deals, fiber routing, and infrastructure. Full tool list →

Guided prompts & resources

Beyond the 53 tools, DC Hub ships 6 guided prompts — they surface as slash-commands in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients:

• /dchub:analyze-site — full buildability read for an address or lat,lon
• /dchub:pick-a-market — where to build N MW (DCPI-ranked, with time-to-power)
• /dchub:power-availability — headroom + time-to-power for an ISO
• /dchub:site-report — premium one-page site brief (power · gas · fiber · market · risk)
• /dchub:compare-markets — 2–4 markets head-to-head
• /dchub:fiber-plan — diverse fibre lead-in routes to a carrier hotel

Plus citable resources: dchub://about, dchub://methodology (DCPI/DCGI), dchub://data-sources, dchub://coverage.

Why DC Hub vs other directories

	DC Hub	datacenters.com	dcbyte	baxtel
Live grid data	✅	❌	❌	❌
