Epa Emissions vs Git

A side-by-side look at the Epa Emissions and Git MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Verdict: choose Epa Emissions for environment & nature work as a local process; choose Git for version control as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities

Epa Emissions tools 5

  • ghg_facility_emissionsThe biggest greenhouse-gas-emitting facilities in a US state (EPA GHGRP), ranked by total CO2-equivalent emissions. Returns each facility's name, location, industry sector(s), and total metric tons CO2e. State-scoped (pass a state). Data lags ~1.5 years — latest full year is auto-selected (currently 2023) unless a `year` is given.
  • ghg_emissions_by_sectorTotal greenhouse-gas emissions by INDUSTRY SECTOR within a US state (EPA GHGRP) — answers 'which sectors emit the most in <state>'. Sectors: Power Plants, Refineries, Chemicals, Metals, Minerals, Pulp and Paper, Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems, Waste, etc. Returns each sector's total metric tons CO2e and facility count, ranked. State-scoped (pass a state); data lags ~1.5y so the latest full year (~2023) is auto-selected unless `year` is given.
  • tri_facility_releasesSearch EPA TRI toxic chemical release facilities by state, and optionally by COUNTY — "what toxic releases are reported in Harris County, Texas" is the shape these questions usually take. Returns facility location, county, type, and chemicals released with quantities in pounds.
  • tri_chemical_releasesTrack toxic chemical releases by chemical name and state. Returns quantities released to air, water, and land broken down by year.
  • tri_trendsAnalyze toxic release trends over time by state or chemical. Returns historical release data across years to identify patterns and changes.

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.

Epa Emissions has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Git is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. 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 epa-emissions and git as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
