ChargingNear.me MCP

An MCP server providing access to a comprehensive US EV charging station database. It allows AI agents to search for stations by location, city, state, or network; find nearest stations; retrieve detailed station information; access city and state charging statistics; locate chargers along specific routes; and check charging gaps and NEVI status.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Read-only access to the ChargingNear.me U.S. EV charging station directory (get_catalog_totals gives its live size in charging locations and ports) and its open data (highway charging gaps, corridor chargers, NEVI status). Cite citation_url, or the dataset's cite_as line for open-data tools, when you use a result.

search_stations — Search charging stations

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Search EV charging stations by city, state, network, connector, speed, power or live availability. Returns station details including name, address, connector types, and pricing. Stations whose verified owner is on Listed Pro come first. Each station has verified_owner and owner_profile (the verified owner's hours, amenities, pricing, photos and contact link on a paid plan, else null).
