Electricity Maps vs Energi Data Dk
A side-by-side look at the Electricity Maps and Energi Data Dk MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Electricity Maps for environment & nature work as a local process; choose Energi Data Dk for environment & nature as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose Electricity Maps when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Environment & Nature domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
electricitymaps_carbon_intensity, electricitymaps_power_breakdown, electricitymaps_carbon_forecast.
Choose Energi Data Dk when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Environment & Nature domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
spot_prices, co2_intensity, query_dataset.

Tools & capabilities
Electricity Maps tools 3
electricitymaps_carbon_intensityCarbon intensity (gCO2/kWh) for a grid zone now — the live climate cost of a kWh drawn from the local grid. Pass a zone code (e.g. "US-CAL-CISO", "DE", "FR", "GB") or lat+lon. Example: electricitymaps_carbon_intensity({ zone: "DE", _apiKey: "your-key" })electricitymaps_power_breakdownPower generation mix for a zone — the latest breakdown of electricity by source (nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, coal, gas, ...) plus fossil-free and renewable percentages. Pass a zone code (e.g. "US-CAL-CISO", "DE", "FR", "GB") or lat+lon. Example: electricitymaps_power_breakdown({ zone: "FR", _apiKey: "your-key" })electricitymaps_carbon_forecastCarbon-intensity forecast for a zone — upcoming hourly gCO2/kWh predictions, useful for scheduling loads when the grid is cleanest. Requires a paid Electricity Maps plan. Pass a zone code (e.g. "US-CAL-CISO", "DE", "FR", "GB"). Example: electricitymaps_carbon_forecast({ zone: "GB", _apiKey: "your-key" })
Energi Data Dk tools 3
spot_pricesDay-ahead electricity spot prices from Energi Data Service (Energinet, Denmark/Nordic). Prices per bidding zone (PriceArea) in DKK and EUR per MWh, hourly. Bidding zones: DK1 (west Denmark), DK2 (east Denmark), DE (Germany), NO2, SE3, SE4, and others. Omit "area" to get all zones. Keyless official…co2_intensityReal-time grid CO2 emission intensity (g CO2/kWh) from Energinet Denmark, sampled every 5 minutes per bidding zone (DK1=west, DK2=east); defaults to the last 12 readings (~1 hour). Lower values mean cleaner electricity.sampled every 5 minutes per bidding zone. Areas: DK1 (west Denmark), DK2 (east D…query_datasetGeneric escape hatch for any of the ~100 Energi Data Service (Energinet, Denmark) datasets. Examples: "ProductionConsumptionSettlement" (production/consumption by type per area+hour), "CO2EmisProg" (CO2 prognosis), "Elspotprices", "CO2Emis". Returns the raw records array for the dataset.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Electricity Maps has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Energi Data Dk has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add electricity-maps and energi-data-dk as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
