Connect DC Hub to Cursor via MCP: Sites and Markets

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → DC Hub, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

DC Hub + Cursor

Data centre and power-grid intelligence from DC Hub: facilities worldwide, market power-readiness scores, the US interconnection queue, construction pipeline, M&A transactions, live ISO grid fuel mix and electricity prices, plus site scoring and multi-site ranking. Eleven of the twenty tools answer in full without an API key, five more with some figures withheld.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

(none — public API)

Step 1 — Get credentials

Data centre and energy-grid intelligence for site selection, infrastructure investment and power analysis.

What works without a key, and what does not

Eleven of the twenty tools answer in full anonymously and five more with some figures withheld, so the connector installs in one click and most questions work immediately. Four do not, and they fail in two different ways.

403 without a key — dchub_pipeline, dchub_grid_fuel_mix, dchub_energy_prices. A free developer key unlocks these.

403 even with a free key — dchub_site_score requires DC Hub's paid Pro plan. No free key unlocks it. Treat it as unavailable unless the workspace holds a Pro key.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Cursor

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify DC Hub is listed and "Connected".
4. Start chatting — all DC Hub tools are now invokable.
