MCP Server Integration for CodeCarbon

[tanish111]

I wanted to explore the possibility of integrating CodeCarbon with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) (an open standard that allows AI models and agents to connect with external tools and APIs.)

---

Idea

• Building an MCP Server for CodeCarbon would let AI coding agents and LLMs automatically measure and optimize the carbon footprint of the code they generate or execute.
• This could make AI-assisted software development not just more productive but also environmentally responsible, promoting carbon-efficient coding practices at scale a much-needed step toward the next era of sustainable, AI-driven engineering.

---

Discussion Points

• Does CodeCarbon currently have (or plan) any MCP-related integration?
• Would the maintainers or community be open to supporting an MCP server prototype around CodeCarbon?

---

References

• Model Context Protocol Documentation

In short:

Enabling CodeCarbon through MCP could make every AI-generated line of code a step toward carbon-aware, sustainable software development.

Hello, we have a team of students working on this project.

[tanish111]

I had a word with @SaboniAmine but wasn’t able to find repo or project

[benoit-cty]

Yes, it will be open-source. We will open the project when the students finished working on it, in February.

@benoit-cty thanks for the information.
I am a student and currently a contributor to the MCP Protocol (Rust SDK). I am very interested in working on this project and contributing further.
My prior research experience as a student is in the domain of GPU power and energy optimization, where I have worked on both static analysis and runtime power-management techniques. here is my google scholar.

If there are any areas where my background could be useful, or if there are specific tasks or directions where I can contribute, I would be happy to get involved. Please let me know how I can help.

Thanks, I will ask the professor. Maybe the students have to work on their own because it's part of their evaluation.
