About Carbon Intensity Uk
Carbon Intensity Uk is a Pipeworx MCP server for accessing UK carbon-intensity data from National Grid ESO. It is intended for AI agents and MCP clients; the README does not specify its tools.
Key features
- 01UK carbon-intensity data access
Use cases
- 01Querying UK carbon-intensity data
MCP support
Exposes Carbon Intensity Uk through an MCP endpoint on the Pipeworx gateway. The README lists no pack-specific tools.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"carbon-intensity-uk": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/carbon-intensity-uk/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 701+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Carbon Intensity Uk data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
