AI connector
Ask your AI assistant, answered from our trackers
Add ScienceShot to Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports MCP connectors. It then answers questions on European data-centre markets, grid connections, rules and the live grid with our dated figures, and links the page each answer comes from. Free, read-only, no sign-in.

What it answers
Each answer opens with the date its figures were checked and ends with the page to cite.

Fair use
The connector returns the same counts and statuses our pages show, never project-level rows or files. Heavy automated use is limited per address. When an assistant uses our figures, it should name ScienceShot and link the page it was given. Questions and feedback: contact us.
