Solar Data

Overview

Solar Data is a Model Context Protocol server that brings US open solar data directly to AI agents. It provides 18 tools covering PVWatts production estimates, utility tariffs and ROI calculations, solar market data, and forecast information—all designed to help agents make informed solar energy decisions.

The server runs locally on your machine as the Python package solar-data-mcp. Install it via uvx solar-data-mcp and authenticate with an API key. The current release is v0.1.1, published under the MIT license with full source code available at hoodsy/solar-data-mcp on GitHub.

Solar Data belongs in the AI & Agents category and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, claim your listing on mcp.site to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
