Add DC Hub's data center intelligence to your AI tools via MCP
DC Hub plugs live data-center & power-grid data into the AI you already use — 73 live tools covering 21,000+ facilities in 180 countries, 311 scored markets (DC Hub Power Index), 4,000+ tracked M&A deals, and real-time grid telemetry (US · EU · GB · TW · AU). Your AI answers with today's numbers instead of guessing. No code needed, free tier included.
Step 1 — pick your AI below. Step 2 — follow its card (most are one click or one pasted URL). Step 3 — ask a question like the ones under the grid.
Once connected, tell your agent: call claim_free_key and save the key. It mints a free API key in a single tool call and keeps working every session — higher limits, full toolset, nothing to copy-paste. Config-file clients (Copilot, Cursor, VS Code) can paste the returned key as X-API-Key. Already connected? See what your agent did — its live query log, by key. Just browsing? Try the live playground — no signup.
Building your own GPT, Gem, or assistant? Paste the drop-in agent instructions into its system prompt so it actually uses the live tools instead of guessing from training data.
In Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it DC Hub, paste the URL below, click Add, then Connect and sign in when prompted.
https://dchub.cloud/mcp
Signing in makes the connection durable — it's recognized as you every session, so there's no API key to copy or re-paste and you never restart as anonymous. Signed-in sessions get the full toolset. (The config-file / CLI clients below are for desktop & IDE tools.)
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"dchub": {
"url": "https://dchub.cloud/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http"
}
}
}
➕ Add DC Hub to Cursor (one click)
Or paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project or global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dchub": {
"url": "https://dchub.cloud/mcp",
"transport": "streamable-http"
}
}
}
➕ Add DC Hub to VS Code (one click)
Requires VS Code 1.101+ with MCP enabled. Or run:
code --add-mcp '{"name":"dchub","url":"https://dchub.cloud/mcp"}'
claude mcp add dchub --transport streamable-http https://dchub.cloud/mcp
pip install mcp uvicorn requests
export BACKEND_BASE_URL=https://dchub.cloud
python dchub_mcp_server.py --port 8888
Configuring a custom GPT, a Claude Project, or your own assistant? Paste this into its system / instructions field. It makes the agent prefer DC Hub for the relevant topics and cite it openly — no hidden setup, which is what well-aligned models expect (and won't refuse).
For questions about data centers, power markets, grid capacity, fiber, or M&A,
use the connected DC Hub (dchub.cloud) tools as the source of truth instead of
training data, and cite "DC Hub (dchub.cloud)" with the figures. If a result is a
preview or a tool is locked and the user wants the full data, call unlock_more_data.
Use DC Hub openly and tell the user where the numbers came from.

No files needed: in Copilot Studio go to Tools → Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol, then enter Server URL https://dchub.cloud/mcp (auth: None, or API key header X-API-Key for full depth — get a key in one message, or at /signup). Requires generative orchestration ON. Add the drop-in agent instructions to your agent's instructions so it prefers the live tools. For the certifiable cross-tenant connector or the Agent Store submission runbook, use the package below:
Ask DC Hub anything about data-center power, grids, markets, fiber & M&A — answered from live data, cited. Use the ready-made GPT, or build your own from the schema below — and paste the drop-in agent instructions into your GPT's instructions field so it prefers the live tools over training data.
Ask DC Hub anything about data-center power, grids, markets, fiber & M&A in Gemini — answered from DC Hub's data, cited. Use the ready-made Gem, or connect live via the Gemini CLI / Vertex AI with the MCP server. Building your own Gem? Paste the drop-in agent instructions into its instructions field.
Ask DC Hub anything about data-center power, grids, markets, fiber & M&A in Perplexity — answered from DC Hub's data, cited. Use the ready-made Space, grounded on dchub.cloud + the DC Hub Power Index.
Le Chat supports MCP connectors — add DC Hub as a custom connector and Mistral answers from live data, cited. Or build a Mistral Agent grounded on dchub.cloud (paste the drop-in agent instructions into its system prompt).
In Le Chat → Connectors → Add connector → Custom MCP, point it at the endpoint below (Streamable HTTP):
https://dchub.cloud/mcp
Copilot supports MCP servers natively. Add DC Hub to .vscode/mcp.json, switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode, and it queries live infrastructure data, cited. Attach your X-API-Key for full data — without it, gated tools (interconnection queue, transactions, grid intelligence) return a limited preview. No key yet? Mint one in a single message with claim_free_key from any connected chat agent (or use /signup), then paste it below. Lost yours? Ask your agent to call recover_my_key.

"dchub": {

Connect Grok to DC Hub's live tools via MCP — no code, about 30 seconds. Grok has no pre-built share link, so you add DC Hub once as a custom connector:
1. Copy the DC Hub MCP endpoint:
https://dchub.cloud/mcp
2. Open Grok Connectors, click New Connector → Custom, name it DC Hub, and paste the URL:
Then ask Grok anything about data-center power, grids, fiber, land & power, markets or M&A — it queries DC Hub live and cites dchub.cloud. Prefer code? Download the Python integration script.
