What the air quality is right now in a named city, whether a river gauge is rising, which facilities are out of compliance, how clean a power grid is this half-hour, where a species has been recorded, or what a satellite just saw burning. Every answer comes back with the monitoring release, agency filing or observation record it was read from.
Included Packs
Point forecasts and severe-weather outlooks (NWS, Open-Meteo, 20+ national weather services), plus the acute hazards that ride along with them — hurricanes, floods, marine conditions, earthquakes.
Real-time and historical air quality worldwide (OpenAQ, AirNow, WAQI), river and reservoir gauge levels (USGS Water), and flood monitoring.
Climate projections and history, EPA greenhouse-gas and toxic-release reporting (GHGRP, TRI), and live grid carbon intensity (Electricity Maps).
EPA ECHO: facility compliance, violations, inspections and penalties across the Clean Water, Clean Air and Resource Conservation Acts.
Species occurrence records from GBIF, iNaturalist and eBird, plus the taxonomic backbone behind them (Catalogue of Life, WoRMS, Open Tree of Life).
Satellite fire detection (NASA FIRMS), land-cover and deforestation alerts (Global Forest Watch), flood hazard zones (FEMA NFHL), soils, protected areas and seismic networks.
Setup
Choose one of these options:
Open claude.ai/customize/connectors, click Add custom connector, name it Pipeworx Green and paste this URL. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret blank — the connector registers itself.
https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp?vertical=greenThen click Connect and sign in with GitHub. That step is free and takes you from 50 calls a day to 200 — same connection either way, and you can skip it and sign in later. In a new chat, open the tools menu and enable the connector.
Custom connectors need a paid Claude plan — that is an Anthropic gate, not a Pipeworx one.

Common questions
What data sources are included in the Environment vertical?
71 sources across six families: weather and hazards (NWS, Open-Meteo and 20+ national weather services, plus hurricanes, floods, marine conditions and earthquakes), air and water quality (OpenAQ, AirNow, WAQI, USGS river gauges), climate and emissions (climate projections, EPA GHG and TRI reporting, grid carbon intensity), EPA ECHO enforcement (facility compliance, violations, penalties), biodiversity (GBIF, iNaturalist, eBird species occurrence records) and earth observation (NASA FIRMS fire detection, Global Forest Watch, soils, protected areas, seismic networks).
Can I check whether a specific company has EPA violations?
Yes — EPA ECHO tools look up a facility by name, registry ID, or address and return inspection history, formal enforcement actions, penalties, and compliance status across the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and RCRA. Useful for ESG due diligence, M&A screening, and supply-chain risk assessment.
How do I find toxic releases or air quality near a specific location?
EPA TRI tools accept ZIP code, county, or state and return reported chemical releases by facility — air, water, land — for the most recent reporting year. AirNow provides real-time and forecast air quality (AQI, PM2.5, ozone) for any US lat/lon. Both work without an API key.
