NYC Climate, Emissions & Environmental Data

NYC Climate, Emissions & Environmental Data MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Keyless NYC climate and environment data: citywide and municipal greenhouse-gas inventories, heat-vulnerability by ZIP+4, rooftop solar sites, street-level flood events, climate projections and air-quality sensor readings — no API key.

6 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Official city climate, emissions and public-environment records, keyless, for analysis and verification.

What you can do

  • GHG inventories — citywide sector-by-sector emissions or the city government's own footprint, year by year (2005–2024)
  • Heat vulnerability — the heat-vulnerability index by ZIP+4 area; rank the most vulnerable neighborhoods
  • Rooftop solar — agency and community solar sites with borough and project status
  • Street flooding — sensor-recorded inundation events with start time and maximum water depth
  • Climate projections — temperature and precipitation scenarios per model period
  • Air quality — sensor readings (e.g. PM2.5) with period start dates

Who is this for

Environmental analysis, urban-resilience planning, journalism and any agent that must verify a climate or emissions claim against official city records.

6 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_climate_projections

period values look like "2030s (25th Percentile)", "2050s (75th Percentile)", "2150 (90th Percentile)" — each period has one row with all the metrics. NYC climate projection metrics for one future period

get_ghg_inventory

scope "citywide" is the whole-city inventory (2005-2024); scope "municipal" is city government operations only (2006-2024). Narrow with the sector parameter; the CO2e column is resolved automatically for the chosen year. NYC greenhouse gas inventory emissions for one year (citywide or municipal)

list_flood_events

Filter by sensor name or a start-time window. These are measured street-flood events, not storm drains. FloodNet sensor flood events (street flooding readings)

rank_heat_vulnerability

Without zcta, returns the top N most vulnerable areas; with zcta, returns that one area's rank. Use it to contextualize heat-related questions (e.g. which neighborhoods need the most cooling resources). Heat Vulnerability Index ranking of ZIP+4 areas (ZCTAs)

search_aq_sensor_readings

5 readings from the Queens air-quality sensor pilot: each row is one period's mean PM2.5 mass concentration and the US EPA nowcast AQI, with the sensor's lat/lon. Filter by sensor id or a start-of-period window. This is a pilot network, not the full city AQ picture. PM2.5 air quality sensor readings (Queens pilot network)

search_solar_sites

Filter by borough, agency (site owner type), council district or status. Search the NYC Solar Readiness project sites

How much CO2 does the city government emit in 2024?

get_ghg_inventory with scope "municipal" and year "2024" returns the government's own footprint split by main sector.

Which ZIP codes face the most heat risk?

rank_heat_vulnerability without a zcta returns the most exposed ZIP+4 areas citywide (optionally by borough); pass a zcta to pull the index for one specific area.

Has this area flooded recently?

list_flood_events with start_after a recent date returns the sensor-recorded inundation events since then, with start times and maximum water depth.

No. NYC Open Data serves all public datasets anonymously over its SODA API (data.cityofnewyork.us). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
