- Kind: MCP server, by dchub.cloud (https://dchub.cloud)
- Category: Cloud & infrastructure (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/infrastructure.md)
- Listed because: It's published in the registry under dchub.cloud, a namespace the registry only gives to whoever proves they control that domain.
- What the official MCP registry says: Live power, grid, gas, fiber + data-center capacity to buy or lease in kW/MW — query and cite.
