Emission Factors
Look up US grid carbon intensity and electricity rates by ZIP code for emissions accounting
Provides EPA eGRID carbon emission factors, hourly grid intensity, utility rates, and power plant emissions data for US locations. Helps calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and compare sites by carbon footprint and cost.
Try asking Muse: "What's the carbon intensity of electricity in my facility's ZIP code and how much will it cost to power a data center there?"

How to add it to Muse
Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Copy the request below and paste it into Muse. Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Also use it in ChatGPT or Claude
Emission Factors is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
Add it to ChatGPT
- 1
Open ChatGPT settings
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
- 2
Turn on developer mode
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.
- 3
Create the connector
Choose Create, give it a name, paste the link as the MCP server URL, and save. If it needs a sign-in, ChatGPT asks for it here.
- 4
Use it in a chat
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
Add it to Claude
- 1
Open Claude settings
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
- 2
Add a custom connector
Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, and paste the link.
- 3
Connect and use it
If it needs a sign-in, Claude sends you to it. Then turn the connector on in a chat from the tools menu and ask.
Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans; on Team and Enterprise accounts an admin may need to add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in Claude

Technical details: safety screening, tools, response time and recent checks
Response time at the last check: 113ms. Worked in 100% of checks over 30 days.
Screening · October 28, 2026
Screened, no issues found
Screening looks for known threats and hidden instructions at the time of the check, and runs again weekly and whenever the tool list changes. It cannot see the server's code, so only connect what you need and review what Muse asks to do. How screening works.

lookup_emission_factorLook up EPA eGRID electricity emission factors for a US ZIP code. Returns CO2e (kg/kWh and lb/MWh), CO2, CH4, N2O, NOx, SO2, non-baseload rate, carbon-free %, generation mix (coal/gas/nuclear/hydro/wind/solar etc.), eGRID subregion code, the data year, and the Green-e residual milookup_by_coordinatesLook up emission factors by latitude/longitude. Uses US Census Geocoder to resolve to ZIP first, then returns the same data as lookup_emission_factor. Useful when you have a facility address or lat/lon but no ZIP.lookup_batchLook up emission factors for up to 100 ZIP codes in one call (split longer lists). Returns one compact row per ZIP - subregion, CO2e kg/kWh (location-based), residual mix (market-based), carbon-free %, utility - unless full is true, which returns every field (about 2 KB per ZIP).calculate_emissionsCalculate Scope 2 CO2e for a facility from its ZIP and kWh, using both GHG Protocol methods: location-based (eGRID subregion rate) and market-based (Green-e residual mix applied to kWh not covered by RECs, PPAs or green tariffs). Returns kg CO2e for each method with the factors uhourly_intensityGet hourly grid carbon intensity (kg CO2e per kWh) for any US ZIP code, derived from EIA-930 hourly fuel-mix data.

Per facility returns total CO2 (short tons), gross generation (MWh), heat input (mmBtu), NOx and SO2 (lb), primutility_tariffGet the actual utility-specific electricity rate (not state average) for a US ZIP code or named utility. Returns the current default tariff with effective rate ($/kWh), fixed monthly charge, tier count, TOU indicator, and effective date. Data source: OpenEI URDB (NREL-hosted). Wielectricity_rateGet the latest monthly average retail electricity rate ($/kWh and cents/kWh) for any US ZIP code, broken out by sector (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.).
