Renewables / NREL tools run on the same LiveDataLink endpoint as every other domain - one bearer key, no per-source integration. Add this to your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, n8n, LangChain, and more):
{
"mcpServers": {
"livedatalink": {
"url": "https://livedatalink.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
}
}
}Then call any tool below. The free tier gives you 1,000 queries/month across all 284 tools with no credit card.
