Connect to DC Hub

Add DC Hub's data center intelligence to your AI tools via MCP

New here? Connect your AI in 3 steps

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.

💬 No code — chat apps
🛠️ For developers — IDE & terminal
🔑 Unlock all 73 tools with one message — no email, no signup

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.

Step 3 — ask your AI:
  • “Which grids have the most headroom right now, and what's their fuel mix?”
  • “Rank the top 10 data-center markets by power capacity with DCPI scores.”
  • “Analyze a site near Columbus, Ohio for a data center — power, fiber, water, risk.”
  • “What data-center M&A closed in the last 90 days?”

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.

Setup Instructions

🌐 Claude.ai (web) — recommended · stays connected

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.)

Claude Desktop

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"
    }
  }
}

Cursor

➕ 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"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

➕ 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 Code

claude mcp add dchub --transport streamable-http https://dchub.cloud/mcp

Run Locally (optional)

pip install mcp uvicorn requests
export BACKEND_BASE_URL=https://dchub.cloud
python dchub_mcp_server.py --port 8888

Drop-in agent instructions TRANSPARENT

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.

Discovery Files

Copilot Studio Integration

Microsoft Copilot Studio (MCP — recommended)

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:

ChatGPT Custom GPT Integration

OpenAI ChatGPT

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.

→ Open the DC Hub GPT in ChatGPT (live)

Google Gemini Integration

Google Gemini

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.

→ Open the DC Hub Gem in Gemini

Mistral Le Chat Integration

Mistral (Le Chat)

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

GitHub Copilot Integration

GitHub Copilot (VS Code)

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.

{
  "servers": {
    "dchub": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dchub.cloud/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_DC_HUB_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Grok/xAI Integration

Grok (xAI)

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:

→ Open Grok Connectors ↗

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.
