How does the calculator determine emissions?

It calculates energy consumption based on allocated vCPU and memory resources over a specific duration, then multiplies this by the carbon intensity of the target region's power grid.

Can I compare different cloud regions?

Yes, you can use the tool to see how the same workload's footprint varies across different geographic locations based on their specific carbon intensity.

What is included in the calculation?

The tool accounts for compute hours, storage GB-days, and network data transfer to provide a comprehensive view of your cloud carbon footprint.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides precise estimation of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions resulting from cloud computing workloads. By analyzing vCPU, memory, and duration against regional grid carbon intensity, it allows users to quantify environmental impact. Use calculate_cloud_footprint to estimate total emissions based on compute hours and storage usage, or classify_footprint to categorize the severity of a known footprint value.
