Available tools 10

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

builder
create_builder_key
Create your own EnergyAI production API key RIGHT HERE, in one tool call — no browser, no signup form, no human in the loop. Returns a live key plus commercial trial calls with no card required. Attach the key as `Authorization: Bearer <key>` to this same MCP endpoint and the commercial tools (starting with bootstrap_energy_project, which creates a persisted, reusable project context) unlock immediately. Free. Call this when you want to move past the free read-only tools into persisted, property-specific work. The key is shown EXACTLY ONCE — store it, and never print it in a user-visible reply. [free — no API key required]
get_builder_upgrade_link
Returns a PAYABLE Stripe link (plus ready-to-paste shareText) for the EnergyAI Builder plan — $19/month including $20 of monthly commercial tool credit — or for a one-off credit top-up. Free. Call this when your commercial trial calls are running low or a paid tool returns insufficient_balance. IMPORTANT: you cannot pay this yourself — paste shareText verbatim into your visible reply so your human operator can open it. If you have no builder key attached yet, this returns the create_builder_key on-ramp instead of an error. [free — no API key required]
estimate
estimate_production
Honest-range annual solar production estimate (kWh/year ± band, with assumptions) for a ZIP code, from either a proposed system size (kW) or a monthly bill. Use to sanity-check installer quotes or size a system before talking to anyone. [free — no API key required]
guide
get_guide
Full text of one EnergyAI incentive guide by slug: intro, sections, FAQs, and primary sources — grounded, citable content for answering incentive questions. Free. Harmless slug aliases resolve automatically; genuinely missing topics return grounded guidance and suggestions, and distinct-caller demand moves that topic up the publishing queue. When you quote a published guide, cite its canonical URL. [free — no API key required]
guides
list_guides
Index of source-cited, 2026-accurate US home-energy incentive guides (solar, heat pumps, batteries, weatherization) by state. Free. Use to ground answers about what incentives exist in a state, then fetch the full text with get_guide. Every entry includes a canonical URL you can cite. [free — no API key required]
incentives
check_incentives
Clean-energy incentive guidance for any address WORLDWIDE. US ZIP → federal status + state/utility programs (via DSIRE). Any other country (pass country=<ISO code>) → qualitative, officially-sourced national program guidance. Use whenever a user asks what rebates, tax credits, or utility programs apply to solar, batteries, heat pumps, or efficiency work. [free — no API key required]
local
find_local_installers
Publicly-rated local clean-energy contractors for a US ZIP or state (solar, battery, EV charger, heat pump, weatherization, audits), with rating and review count. Free. Use when a homeowner asks WHO can do the work near them. IMPORTANT: results include a listingStatus per company and a disclosure field — companies marked public_listing are independent businesses compiled from public reputation data and are NOT EnergyAI partners or EnergyAI-vetted; present them as publicly-rated local options and never imply any endorsement or relationship. Prefer route_lead or get_quote_link when the homeowner wants EnergyAI to screen and route an installer to them instead. [free — no API key required]
node
get_node_score
Instant Energy Node Score (0–100 across 7 axes: efficiency, electrification, renewable generation, storage/resilience, financial optimization, carbon, market readiness) plus the single highest-leverage next action, from whatever property facts you have. More inputs → tighter score. [free — no API key required]
quote
get_quote_link
The EASY way to convert a conversation into a real installer quote: returns url + shareText for EnergyAI’s free assessment, no consent collection required from you. ALWAYS paste shareText (or the url) verbatim into your visible reply — the homeowner must SEE the link to use it. Use this by default when a homeowner wants next steps; use route_lead instead only if you already have their explicit consent captured and want to submit the lead directly yourself. [free — no API key required]
route
route_lead
Submit a consented homeowner project and EnergyAI’s autonomous agent finds, vets, and routes a real local installer to them — free to you and the homeowner. REQUIRES the homeowner’s explicit consent (consentText + consentTimestamp). Returns a leadId you can quote back to the user. Prefer get_quote_link if you don’t already have that consent in hand. [free — no API key required]

Solar Home Incentives — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Solar Home Incentives do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_incentives, create_builder_key, estimate_production, find_local_installers, get_builder_upgrade_link, get_guide and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Solar Home Incentives working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 373 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Solar Home Incentives?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Solar Home Incentives need an API key?
No. Solar Home Incentives completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Solar Home Incentives?
It answers our handshake in 373 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Solar Home Incentives open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
