CarbonLot: CBAM Embedded-Emissions Compliance Agent

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by Interstellar at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

An MCP-native compliance agent for the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Since January 2026, Indian steel, aluminium, and other CBAM-covered exporters must report verified embedded carbon emissions per shipment to the EU — or get charged a punitive default rate. That data currently lives scattered across shipment records, supplier declarations, and emission-factor tables, making it slow and error-prone to check compliance manually. CarbonLot fixes this by treating carbon like a traceability problem, not a spreadsheet problem. Ask it "is shipment SHP001 CBAM-ready?" and it looks up the shipment's supplier, checks whether they've reported verified emissions data, falls back transparently to EU default values when they haven't, calculates the total embedded emissions, and drafts a ready-to-use CBAM declaration — all through natural conversation via MCP. Built for the Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 Track — MCP Hackathon 2026.

Who built CarbonLot: CBAM Embedded-Emissions Compliance Agent?
CarbonLot: CBAM Embedded-Emissions Compliance Agent was built by team Interstellar at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon, in the Manufacturing & Industry 4.0 track.
What is an MCP app and how is it built?
An MCP app is an application built on the Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI agents connect to tools, data, and APIs. This project exposes MCP tools and resources that agentic AI systems can call. It was built and deployed on NitroStack, the full-stack platform for shipping MCP apps and servers.
