## Frequently Asked Questions

**What does the Corrently Energy MCP do for my home?**
It gives you access to real-time German energy data. You can check local carbon intensity, find the cheapest electricity prices, and get forecasts on when green energy is most available in your specific zip code.

**Can I use Corrently Energy MCP to save money on my EV charging?**
Yes. You can ask your AI client to find the cheapest hours for electricity or create a schedule that prioritizes solar peaks to reduce your charging costs.

**Does Corrently Energy MCP work for all of Europe?**
No, this Connector is specifically designed for the German energy market. It uses German zip codes to provide localized data on pricing, solar output, and carbon intensity.

**How can I use Corrently Energy MCP for corporate sustainability?**
You can use it to pull merit order lists to see the current generation mix or use the carbon offset calculator to find the requirements for neutralizing your company's carbon footprint.

**Can Corrently Energy MCP predict my solar output?**
Yes. By providing your solar installation's capacity and your location, the AI can use the Connector to forecast how much energy your panels will generate over time.

**Is Corrently Energy MCP good for smart home automation?**
It is excellent for this. You can use it to build intelligent schedules for heat pumps and other heavy machinery that automatically run when energy is cheapest or cleanest.

**Do I need an API token to use the Corrently Energy Connector?**
No! Most Corrently API endpoints work without authentication. An optional token is only needed if you want higher rate limits for heavy usage. Simply subscribe to the server and start querying energy data immediately.

**What German zip codes are supported for energy forecasts?**
All German Postleitzahl (PLZ) 5-digit zip codes are supported — from 01067 (Dresden) to 80331 (Munich). Simply provide any valid German zip code and the API will return localized energy forecasts for that region's grid area.

**Can I use this Connector to optimize when I charge my electric vehicle?**
Absolutely! Use the `get_best_hour` tool to find optimal charging windows based on renewable energy availability or lowest CO₂ emissions. Then use `create_energy_schedule` to generate a full optimized charging plan. You can also use `get_phev_charge_or_fuel` if you drive a plug-in hybrid and need advice on whether to charge electrically or use fuel.

**How accurate are the solar generation predictions for my photovoltaic system?**
The `get_solar_prediction` tool provides forecasts based on weather models and your system's kWp capacity. Accuracy depends on location, panel orientation, and weather conditions. It's best used for relative comparisons (e.g., "Will tomorrow be sunnier than today?") rather than absolute precision. For typical home systems (5-10 kWp), day-ahead forecasts are generally within 15-25% of actual generation.

**Do I need an API token to use the Corrently Energy MCP server?**
No! Most Corrently API endpoints work without authentication. An optional token is only needed if you want higher rate limits for heavy usage. Simply subscribe to the server and start querying energy data immediately.

**Can I use this MCP server to optimize when I charge my electric vehicle?**
Absolutely! Use the `get_best_hour` tool to find optimal charging windows based on renewable energy availability or lowest CO₂ emissions. Then use `create_energy_schedule` to generate a full optimized charging plan. You can also use `get_phev_charge_or_fuel` if you drive a plug-in hybrid and need advice on whether to charge electrically or use fuel.
