DC HUB
DC Hub is a real-time data center, power, and energy intelligence MCP server that gives AI agents structured access to facility data, grid telemetry, market analytics, and infrastructure intelligence across 170+ countries.
Facility & Market Intelligence
Search 21,000+ global data center facilities by location, capacity, operator, status, or fiber connectivity; get full facility profiles
Access market intelligence for 232 global DC markets — vacancy, pricing, supply pipeline, YoY growth, and DCPI (BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID) verdicts
Rank markets by cheapest power, most capacity, fastest growing, or best overall
Get the AI Capacity Index — ranks markets by where 100MW of AI training capacity can land in 30/60/90 days
Grid & Energy
Live grid telemetry (fuel mix, demand, prices) for 10+ ISOs (PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE, Hydro-Québec, AESO, Nord Pool)
Compare ISOs side-by-side on fuel mix, LMP prices, carbon intensity, and renewable percentage
Grid headroom, time-to-power estimates, and interconnection queue snapshots with BUILD/CAUTION/AVOID verdicts
Renewable energy capacity by US state; water risk assessment; Data Center Gas Index (DCGI) by state
Site Analysis & Selection
Analyze a specific lat/lon for full suitability: grid headroom, fiber, water stress, tax incentives, climate risk
Compare 2–4 candidate sites head-to-head with a recommended winner
End-to-end guided site selection canvas for a given capacity target, region, and deadline
Identify nearby substations, transmission lines, gas pipelines, and power plants within a configurable radius
Fiber & Infrastructure
Long-haul and metro fiber routes by carrier (Lumen, Zayo, Cogent, etc.) returned as GeoJSON
Dark fiber availability, depth, and route type intelligence
Deals, Pipeline & News
Construction pipeline: 540+ forward-looking projects filterable by market, operator, status, and capacity
M&A transaction tracker: 2,000+ deals (2019–present) filterable by buyer, seller, value, region, and type
Hyperscaler deal tracker (Stargate, OpenAI, Microsoft, CoreWeave, etc.) and deal autopsies with DCPI grid-reality verdicts
Curated industry news from 40+ trade sources, refreshed every 30 minutes
Tax, Regulatory & Incentives
Tax incentive packages (sales, property, income tax credits, electricity discounts) by US state
NEPA filings access
Platform & Advanced Tools
Save candidate sites, set DCPI market alerts, and export datasets as CSV or GeoJSON (PRO)
Grid Transition Radar — identifies emerging hyperscale-friendly grid markets
Incremental sync — pull only what changed since a given timestamp
Platform health check: data freshness across 49 sources, backup status, and agentic heartbeat score

What you can do with it
"What's the current grid headroom in PJM?"
"Show me AWS data center construction pipeline in Ohio"
"Compare ERCOT vs PJM capacity prices over the last 30 days"
"Find data centers within 50km of Northern Virginia substations >230kV"
"What's the live demand and generation mix in CAISO right now?"
"Is behind-the-meter gas power cheaper than the grid in Texas?"
"What's the grid mix in Atlanta (SOCO) and is power available?"
"Get fiber routes between Ashburn and Atlanta"Your AI assistant gets real-time, structured answers — not links to PDFs.
