datacenter-mcp-server

Mission-critical data center engineering tools for AI agents. 8 professional-grade calculation engines covering cooling, power, GPU thermal optimization, UPS/battery sizing, tier classification, and commissioning workflows.

Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard — works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datacenter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "datacenter-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "datacenter": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "datacenter-mcp-server"]
  }
}

Tools

dc_calculate_cooling_load

Calculate ASHRAE-compliant cooling requirements for any data center facility. Inputs include IT load, redundancy level, climate zone, altitude, and humidity targets. Returns tonnage, airflow, chilled water capacity, and energy estimates.

dc_analyze_power_redundancy

Analyze electrical distribution from utility feed through UPS, PDU, and rack-level power. Supports N, N+1, 2N, and 2N+1 redundancy configurations with efficiency and cost analysis.

dc_assess_tier_classification

Evaluate facility design against Uptime Institute Tier I-IV standards. Identifies compliance gaps and provides actionable upgrade recommendations.

dc_generate_commissioning_plan

Generate L1-L5 commissioning workflows with phase sequencing, test procedures, and documentation requirements per ASHRAE Guideline 0.

dc_analyze_rack_density

Analyze rack power density configurations from 5 kW to 100+ kW per rack. Covers cooling strategy selection, weight loading, and power distribution.

dc_gpu_cooling_optimizer

Optimize cooling infrastructure for GPU/AI workloads (H100, A100, H200, B200, GB200). Calculates thermal loads, recommends cooling strategies (air, rear-door, direct liquid, immersion), sizes CDUs, and projects energy savings.

dc_ups_battery_sizing

Size UPS modules and battery systems with N/N+1/2N/2N+1 redundancy. Compares VRLA vs lithium-ion with 10-year TCO analysis, floor space estimates, and weight calculations.

dc_reference_lookup

Query ASHRAE standards, Uptime Institute tier requirements, and industry best practices for data center design and operations.

Engineering Standards

All calculations comply with:

• ASHRAE TC 9.9 thermal guidelines

• Uptime Institute Tier Standard topology

• NFPA 70 / NEC electrical code

• ASHRAE Guideline 0 commissioning
