How to get dark fiber and network route data into an AI agent
Fiber proximity makes or breaks a data center site, but route data is scattered across carrier maps and PUC filings. There's a one-step, agent-callable alternative.
The short answer: connect your agent to DC Hub's MCP server and call get_fiber_intel or plan_fiber_leadin. You get carrier presence, long-haul route proximity and diverse-path lead-in analysis from a 600,000+ carrier-segment dataset. Free tier: 10 calls/day.
Step 1 — Connect (one line)
DC Hub speaks the Model Context Protocol, so any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, ChatGPT) can use it:
claude mcp add dchub --transport http https://dchub.cloud/mcpNo API key required for the free tier. Cursor/Cline: add https://dchub.cloud/mcp as an HTTP MCP server in your config.
Step 2 — Ask your agent
Your agent now has a get_fiber_intel tool. Ask it: "What fiber is near this site, and how hard is a diverse lead-in?" — it calls:
get_fiber_intel({ "lat": 39.02, "lon": -77.46, "radius_km": 10 })and gets back live, cited ground truth:
| Layer | Coverage | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier fiber segments | 600,000+ | presence + proximity |
| Long-haul routes | national | nearest route distance |
| Lead-in planning | per-site | diverse-path feasibility |
Live from DC Hub (dchub.cloud) · open the fiber map. Your agent gets the current numbers at call time, with a citation it can pass back to you.
Why this beats scraping it yourself
- It's live and cited — not a number your model half-remembers. Every response carries a source your agent can attribute.
- It's one query, not twelve. Fiber routes, the facilities they serve, power, land, water risk and DCPI come from the same server — no per-source scrapers to build and maintain.
- It's built for agents. Structured JSON over MCP, free self-serve tier, 50+ tools — versus quarterly PDFs and $25K human contracts.
