Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Electricity Maps every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Electricity Maps — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is Electricity Maps working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 191 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Electricity Maps?

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 Electricity Maps need an API key?

No. Electricity Maps completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Electricity Maps?

It answers our handshake in 191 ms on average, which is faster than 68% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Electricity Maps open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
