Tools it offers

60 tools, as the server itself reported during our check on Oct 31, 2026.

• claim_free_keyUse this when the user wants more DC Hub data center data than keyless allows, or asks for a key; no key is needed to start. Mints a free key and returns it plus connect_url, a connector URL with the key embedded (the on
• searchUse this when a Deep Research or ChatGPT-connector client needs a data center facility search (search/fetch format). Returns a list of matching data-center facilities as {id, title, url}; pass an id to the `fetch` tool f
• fetchUse this when you have an id from `search` and need that data center facility record (search/fetch format). Returns {id, title, text, url, metadata} — a citable public summary of one data-center facility (name, operator,

• get_market_dcpi_rankUse this when the user asks where a data center can get grid power, how fast, or whether a market is a BUILD, CAUTION or AVOID (e.g. "Where can a 100 MW data center get power fastest?"): DCPI scores 300+ markets daily on
• predict_market_trajectoryUse this when the user asks where a data center market's power outlook is heading (next 1-8 quarters). Projects excess_power_score and constraint_score forward with confidence bands that WIDEN with horizon, from DC Hub's
• get_gas_indexUse this when the user asks which US states suit gas-fired data center power: the Data Center Gas Index (DCGI), a per-state score. ★ DO NOT COMPARE a DCGI figure published before 2026-08-08 with one published now — they

• get_grid_scoreboardUse this when the user asks how power grids compare: demand, fuel mix or renewable share. GLOBAL grid scoreboard — 9 US grid operators (the 7 US ISOs PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE, plus BPA and TVA) + Great
• compare_isosUse this when the user asks to compare two to four power grids side by side — fuel mix, demand, renewable/gas share, and for the US ISOs interconnection-queue depth and time-to-power — in one call instead of N sequential
• get_intelligence_indexUse this when the user asks how healthy a data center market is: composite score (0-100) aggregating supply/demand balance, vacancy, absorption velocity, fiber depth, power availability, and pricing trend. Returns the in
• list_transactionsUse this when the user asks about data center M&A, acquisitions or capital deals — 1,800+ tracked deals (2019-present), each with its disclosed value where public (many private deals are undisclosed). Returns deal name,
• get_newsUse this when the user asks for data center industry news or headlines (execute_plan also pulls news inside a broader market question). Curated data center industry news from 40+ trade sources (DCD, Data Center Knowledge
• semantic_searchUse this when a data center or energy question is conceptual or fuzzy and keyword filters fall short — semantic (meaning-based) retrieval across DC Hub's industry news, M&A deals, the global facility map, per-market DCPI
• search_intelligenceUse this when you need meaning-based search over DC Hub's data center intelligence corpus, choosing corpora — industry news, M&A deals, discovered facilities, per-market DCPI narratives, press releases, announcements, pe
• get_market_contextUse this when you need a whole data center market briefing for your context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a data-center market: DCPI verdict, power & grid facts, the Claude-written 12-month
• get_iso_contextUse this when you need a whole power grid (ISO) briefing for your context window — one call returns a token-budgeted context pack for a US ISO/RTO: live grid snapshot (demand, fuel-mix shares), DCPI verdict mix & grid ec
• get_pipelineUse this when the user asks what data centers are being built, announced or permitted in a market or by an operator. Example: "What data centers are under construction in Northern Virginia and when do they come online?"
• get_power_pipelineUse this when the user asks where new power generation is coming online (the forward supply pipeline) — e.g. "how much new generation is planned in Virginia / the Southeast / ERCOT, and when?". Planned, permitting, and u
• get_infra_projectsUse this when the user asks what gas pipeline or transmission line projects are planned, proposed, approved or under construction — the forward build-out, not the existing network. e.g. "which interstate gas pipelines ar
• get_power_availability_timelineUse this when the user asks when power will be available, or about time-to-power, in a US state: year by year. Composes: new generation coming online from EIA-860M monthly, split by confidence class (under-construction v
• get_global_powerUse this when the user asks about power plants worldwide or in a non-US country — operating AND the forward pipeline (announced / pre-construction / under-construction), across ALL fuels (coal, oil/gas, nuclear, solar, w
• get_interconnection_queueUse this when the user asks about grid interconnection queues: how congested an ISO's queue is or how much data-center load is waiting. Returns queued generation GW per ISO. The projects field changes shape: with iso= it

• set_shortlist_alertUse this when the user wants a drift alert on a saved site shortlist so you can stop polling and be notified when a site's national standing moves materially (Phase 5). Fires when any site in the shortlist has current pe
• suggest_reallocationUse this when a saved data center site drifts (its national standing dropped — surfaced by get_shortlist refresh or a set_shortlist_alert firing), get replacement candidates from the rest of that shortlist so the alert b
• get_grid_dataUse this when the user asks for live electricity grid data (power demand, fuel mix) for one grid: the 7 US ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE), TVA, BPA, 40+ US utility balancing authorities (e.g. AZPS, SO
