DC Hub MCP Server

Real-time data center intelligence for AI agents.

The only MCP server combining facility data, infrastructure, and live grid intelligence into one queryable interface. Built for Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and any AI assistant doing data center site selection, energy analysis, or market research.

What you can do with it

"What's the current grid headroom in PJM?"
"Show me AWS data center construction pipeline in Ohio"
"Compare ERCOT vs PJM capacity prices over the last 30 days"
"Find data centers within 50km of Northern Virginia substations >230kV"
"What's the live demand and generation mix in CAISO right now?"
"Get fiber routes between Ashburn and Atlanta"

Your AI assistant gets real-time, structured answers — not links to PDFs.

What's inside

Why DC Hub vs other directories

	DC Hub	datacenters.com	dcbyte	baxtel
Live grid data	✅	❌	❌	❌
MCP / AI integration	✅	❌	❌	❌
Facility + infra + grid	✅	❌	❌	❌
Real-time API	✅	❌	❌	❌
