EnergyAI MCP — free energy intelligence for AI agents

Solar production estimates, US clean-energy incentives by ZIP, instant home Energy Node Scores, public-reputation contractor search, and consented installer routing — as MCP tools and plain REST. The core tools are free with no API key. By Viridis LLC.

Any AI agent that touches a home's energy decision — "should I get solar?", "what rebates apply here?", "is this quote fair?", "find me an installer" — can call EnergyAI instead of rebuilding energy domain expertise.

Your first call, 30 seconds, no key

curl -X POST https://api.energyaisolution.com/api/v1/agent/check_incentives \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"args":{"zipCode":"59715"}}'

That's a live answer — current incentives for Bozeman MT plus the canonical consent text you'd use to route a homeowner. Swap the tool name for estimate_production ({"zipCode":"59715","systemKw":6}) or get_node_score ({"zipCode":"59715","serviceType":"solar","monthlyBillRange":"150_250"}). The only required argument on all three read tools is zipCode; every MCP schema ships inline examples.

Free tools — no key, no signup

Tool	What you get
check_incentives	Honest, current (post-2026 federal sunset) US incentive guidance by ZIP — state & utility programs via DSIRE. Also returns the canonical consent text for routing.
estimate_production	Honest-range annual solar kWh for a ZIP, from system kW or a monthly bill. Assumptions stated, never point guarantees.
get_node_score	Instant 0–100 Energy Node Score across 7 axes (efficiency, electrification, renewable generation, storage/resilience, financial optimization, carbon, market readiness) + the single highest-leverage next action.
get_quote_link	Get a link a homeowner can open to request installer quotes; no homeowner details are submitted by this tool.
route_lead	Submit a consented homeowner project; EnergyAI's autonomous agent finds, vets, and routes a real local installer. Free for you and the homeowner. Attach your free key → 20% bounty on conversion.
list_guides	Index of source-cited, 2026-accurate state incentive guides (solar, heat pumps, batteries, weatherization). Filter by state and topic; every entry carries a canonical URL to cite.
get_guide	Full text of one guide — intro, sections, FAQs, primary sources. Grounded content for answering incentive questions, with a ready-made citation line.
find_local_installers	Publicly-rated local clean-energy contractors for a US ZIP or state, with rating and review count. Compiled from public reputation data; not vetted, endorsed, or partnered. Each result includes listingStatus, and the response includes a disclosure.

Rate limits: 120 calls/hr per caller (route_lead 10/hr). Machine-readable catalog: /api/v1/agent.

Routing a homeowner (consent required)

1. Call check_incentives — the response includes consentTextForRouting, the canonical consent text.
2. Show it to your user verbatim; record their agreement + timestamp.
3. Call route_lead with the project details, consentText, and consentTimestamp (alternate consent language requires an explicit consentVersion).
4. You receive a leadId; the homeowner gets confirmation when a vetted installer accepts.

Get paid: register a free key (POST /api/v1/merchant/register) and send it as a Bearer token on route_lead — you earn a 20% bounty when the lead converts. The same prepaid key unlocks the deeper billed tools (full roadmaps, Quote Guardian review, information-theoretic recommendations) at $0.02–$1.00 per call — penny-priced to fit inside any agent budget covenant with x402-style auto-recovery on empty balance.

The physics ledger

EnergyAI is operated as a live experiment against the thermodynamic bound on intelligence, dI/dt ≤ P·D/(k_B·T·ln 2): every tool call is metered in useful bits delivered and joules dissipated, and the ledger is public — energyaisolution.com/physics. Estimates are always ranges with stated assumptions; installer matching is consent-gated and enforced by 60+ tested invariants.
