UK Carbon Intensity

How clean is the UK electricity grid right now? This pack pulls from the official Carbon Intensity API (carbonintensity.org.uk) maintained by National Grid ESO. Get real-time and historical carbon intensity forecasts plus the current generation fuel mix.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`get_intensity`	Current national carbon intensity — forecast gCO2/kWh, actual value, and index (very low to very high)
`get_intensity_by_date`	Carbon intensity data for a specific date (format YYYY-MM-DD)
`get_generation_mix`	Current electricity generation breakdown by fuel type (wind, solar, gas, nuclear, etc.)

When this is useful

Smart home systems deciding when to run appliances (charge EVs when intensity is low)
Sustainability dashboards showing real-time grid carbon data
Research comparing UK grid decarbonization over time
Answering "how green is UK electricity right now?"

Example

curl -s -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/carbon/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"get_generation_mix","arguments":{}}}'

Returns something like:

{
  "from": "2024-03-15T10:00Z",
  "to": "2024-03-15T10:30Z",
  "mix": [
    { "fuel": "wind", "percentage": 38.2 },
    { "fuel": "nuclear", "percentage": 15.1 },
    { "fuel": "gas", "percentage": 22.4 },
    { "fuel": "solar", "percentage": 8.7 }
  ]
}
