EPA ECHO (Enforcement & Compliance) MCP Connector for Claude

Connect to the EPA ECHO (Enforcement and Compliance History Online) database to retrieve real-time environmental data. This server allows AI agents to query millions of records regarding facility compliance with the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and hazardous waste regulations.

What you can do

• Multi-Program Search — Use search_all_facilities to find entities across all environmental programs using names, cities, or zip codes.
• Media-Specific Audits — Narrow down searches to Air (search_air_facilities), Water (search_water_facilities), or Hazardous Waste (search_hazardous_waste_facilities) to find specific permit holders.
• Detailed Facility Reporting — Use get_detailed_facility_report to fetch a comprehensive compliance history, including violations and enforcement actions for a specific ID.
• Effluent Analysis — Access get_effluent_chart to retrieve dynamic data on permitted wastewater discharge limits and actual releases.
• Drinking Water Safety — Query search_drinking_water_systems to monitor public water systems regulated under the SDWA.
