HelpMyAgent is a remote MCP server for AI agents that need structured, agent-ready data and services on demand. Agents can discover available capabilities, inspect input/output schemas, pricing, provenance, coverage and limitations, then execute the appropriate tool over Streamable HTTP. Paid calls use x402 v2 with supported digital payment rails, without subscriptions or API keys.
Sourced greenhouse-gas emission factors and audit-traced carbon calculations (activity, embodied EN 15978, PCAF financed emissions) — every value returns with its exact source cell and data version, so answers are citable and reproducible. 13,000+ factors, 11 tools. Install: npx -y greencalculus-mcp, or connect remotely at https://mcp.greencalculus.com. Free tier, no card.
