DeepPVMapper MCP server
by gabrielkasmi
Ask your AI about rooftop solar panels in France and get counts, locations, and capacity by area.
DeepPVMapper is a public map of rooftop solar panels in France. Researchers used aerial photos and computer vision to spot over a million solar installations across all 96 departments. This MCP server lets your AI look things up in that registry for you, in plain language.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to a service. This one connects your AI to the DeepPVMapper rooftop-solar registry for France. Once connected, you can ask questions about solar panels and the AI will fetch the numbers for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about rooftop solar in France, like how many panels are in a department or how much capacity is installed. The AI sends your question to this helper, which queries the DeepPVMapper registry. The helper returns matching detections, totals, and quality signals. Your AI then turns that into a clear answer in the chat.
What you can do with it
- Search rooftop-solar detections by area or department
- Add up installed capacity for a place
- Explore what has been detected around a location
- See how deployment changed year by year
- Check data-quality signals for the registry
- Compare counts and capacity between departments
Try asking your AI
- “How many rooftop solar installations are in department 06?”
- “What is the total installed capacity in Gironde?”
- “Show me the yearly growth of rooftop solar in France since 2015.”
- “Are there any data quality warnings for the Paris area?”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in the chat: counts, totals in kilowatts, lists of detections, and simple summaries by department or area. If you ask about trends, it can show year-by-year numbers. It may also mention data-quality signals when they exist.
Before you start
What you need
- An MCP-compatible client like Claude
- The live endpoint URL from the README
Good to know
The registry is a research dataset, so numbers are estimates and may not match official records exactly.
Install it with your AI
Add DeepPVMapper MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed
You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
Sign in to get the install prompt
Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check DeepPVMapper MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,609 MCP servers here for you.
Who it's for
People curious about solar energy in France, journalists, students, planners, and anyone who wants quick numbers without opening a map or writing code.
