## What is DC Hub?

DC Hub is the data center intelligence platform for AI agents.
21,000+ facilities across 170+ countries, 2,000+ M&A deals, and LIVE grid
telemetry across 4 continents — 7 US ISOs + TVA/BPA, Great Britain
(NESO/Elexon), ~12 EU bidding zones (ENTSO-E), Taiwan (Taipower) and Australia
(AEMO), plus 43 US balancing authorities and EU gas transmission flows
(ENTSOG) — fiber routes, water risk, tax incentives.

Already queried by Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Meta AI, Grok.

## How to use this with your agent

**Recommended:** native MCP server at https://dchub.cloud/mcp
