When NOT to Use
- - General chemistry or material science questions unrelated to environmental impact
- Financial carbon credits or carbon trading (this tool covers physical carbon footprint)

HiQ Cortex — LCA数据搜索与碳足迹AI
查找任何材料、产品或工艺的碳排放因子——覆盖中国全工业体系(HiQLCD)、全球数据(Ecoinvent)及化学品(CarbonMinds)。根据物料清单计算碳足迹。符合ISO 14040/14044标准。
隐私与安全
本技能从您的环境中读取HIQAPIKEY,仅向x.hiqlcd.com发送查询。不收集或传输其他数据。
MCP服务器(Cursor / Claude Desktop / Claude Code)
如果您使用Cursor、Claude Desktop或Claude Code,可跳过本技能,直接通过MCP连接:
json
{
mcpServers: {
cortex: {
url: https://x.hiqlcd.com/api/deck/mcp,
headers: { X-API-Key: sk_xxx }
}
}
}
通过MCP提供两个工具:searchlcadata(结构化JSON)和run_cortex(自然语言AI助手)。
设置(OpenClaw)
- 1. 在 https://www.hiqlcd.com 获取您的API密钥
- 2. 添加到~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
json
{
skills: {
entries: {
hiq-cortex: {
enabled: true,
apiKey: sk_xxx
}
}
}
}
或设置环境变量:export HIQAPIKEY=sk_xxx
