Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server exposing a verified database of behind-the-meter data center power facilities, their capacity, permits and provenance.

What you can do
  • Search verified behind-the-meter power facilities and their published capacity facts
  • Retrieve a single facility dossier with units, permits, quotes, source URLs, checksums and archived evidence
  • List separately classified third-party reported project announcements
  • Read the dataset summary with canonical date, fleet totals, methodology, license and citation
When to use it
Useful when you need sourced, permit-based figures on data center power capacity rather than press releases, or when you want to separate verified operating capacity from reported project pipelines.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no authentication, environment variables or headers declared. Network access to the hosted endpoint is required.
Before you install
The dataset is described as pre-launch and small, so coverage is limited. Announcement records are third-party reported and explicitly not verified operating capacity; treat them separately from verified figures.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Behind the Watt in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.ykorets%2Fbehind-the-watt/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

100% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
