About
PVGIS MCP — EU Joint Research Centre PV system modeler
README
PVGIS MCP — EU JRC Photovoltaic Geographical Information System. Models PV system output for any location. No auth.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
pv_performance(latitude, longitude, peakpower, ...)— annual / monthly PV yield estimatestmy(latitude, longitude, year_min?, year_max?)— typical meteorological year (hourly)monthly_radiation(latitude, longitude, ...)— long-term monthly irradiation
Data source
https://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/api/v5_3/ — public, no auth.
Coverage: global, but most accurate for Europe / Africa / Asia (uses PVGIS-SARAH3, PVGIS-NSRDB, PVGIS-ERA5).
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pvgis": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pvgis/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Pvgis data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
