Industrial Info Resources Launches IIR Envoy ™ MCP, Bringing Human-Verified Industrial Intelligence Directly Into AI Through Model Context Protocol

Industrial Info Resources (IIR), a leading provider of energy and industrial market intelligence built on primary research and human verification, today announced the launch of IIR Envoy MCP; this new Model Context Protocol connection plugs IIR's authoritative industrial database directly into the AI platforms professionals already use.

As an example, with IIR Envoy MCP, an analyst can ask, "What refinery capacity is offline in Europe since this morning's weather event?" or "Which power plants near Houston have upcoming outages?" and receive an instant, source-cited answer drawn from IIR's live data.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in decision-making tools, the quality of AI-generated insights depends entirely on the quality of the underlying data. IIR Envoy MCP was built on that principle. "The information age was about collecting data. The knowledge age was about understanding it. Today, technology has brought us to the Answer Age. It’s not a question of if someone can get an answer; it’s a question of whether the quality and validity of the answer is good enough to base major business decisions on," said Ed Lewis, CEO of Industrial Info Resources. "IIR Envoy MCP was built for that shift, delivering phone-verified, constantly updated industrial intelligence directly into the AI tools professionals already use, so every answer is backed by primary research."

Trusted data starts with people. Every record IIR delivers is verified by researchers who contact plant operators directly. That provenance carries through every response generated by IIR Envoy MCP, ensuring the intelligence behind critical decisions isn't scraped, inferred, or hallucinated. It's confirmed through primary research.

With IIR Envoy MCP, organizations can connect their own AI clients, including Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and more, to IIR’s global project, plant, and asset data to accelerate research and market analysis and make faster, better-informed decisions.

"AI is changing how industrial organizations make decisions, but AI is only as good as the data behind it," continues Ed Lewis. "When you combine IIR Envoy MCP with 40 years of trusted, phone-verified energy and industrial intelligence, AI becomes a decision-making tool organizations can trust, empowering them to move faster with greater confidence because every answer is backed by primary research, not scraped or inferred information."
