Run real-time energy valuations inside Claude Desktop

The `get_valuations` tool pulls live mark-to-market data directly into your Claude Desktop conversation. Instead of switching to a browser tab or running manual scripts, you ask your agent to pull current MTM numbers for your active positions. Your local Claude Desktop client executes this request in seconds. It formats the raw valuation numbers so you can immediately spot market shifts.

Map energy forward curves with this MCP Server

The `get_forward_curves` tool delivers raw energy market pricing data straight to your local model. You get current forward prices for power, gas, or crude without leaving your active workspace. This MCP Server connects Claude Desktop directly to live market feeds. Your agent processes these curves to help you identify pricing discrepancies or plan future hedges.

Audit your trade book directly in chat

The `list_trades` tool pulls your active energy hedge portfolio into the chat window. You can query specific trade IDs or filter by counterparties without opening a separate database client. Claude Desktop reads this raw ledger to verify position sizes and execution dates. This MCP integration keeps your risk assessment accurate while you plan your next market move.
