Built-in capabilities (12)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate OpenElectricity (OpenNEM)
Ask your AI agent "What is the current electricity spot price across all Australian states?" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 12 tools connected to real OpenElectricity (OpenNEM) data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the AEMO Australian Energy MCP Server unlocks
Connect to OpenElectricity API (powered by AEMO data) and bring real-time Australian energy market intelligence to any AI agent. Monitor the National Electricity Market (NEM) and Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM), track renewable energy transition, and analyze power generation across all Australian states.
What you can do
- Spot Prices — Retrieve real-time and historical wholesale electricity prices (RRP) by Australian region (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS)
- Power Generation — Access total network generation and breakdown by fuel technology (solar, wind, coal, gas, hydro, battery)
- Energy Demand — Monitor electricity demand across the NEM with 5-minute, hourly, daily, or monthly granularity
- Facility Data — Get generation output from specific power stations, solar farms, wind farms, and battery installations
- Renewable Proportion — Track what percentage of Australia's electricity comes from renewable sources in real-time
- Regional Analysis — Compare power generation and demand across Australian states and territories
- Emissions Tracking — Query pollution data including NOx, SO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5 from the National Pollutant Inventory
- Market Updates — Fetch commentary and updates about price spikes, outages, and notable market events
- Facility Registry — List all energy generation facilities with their fuel type, status, and capacity
- Available Metrics — Explore the full range of queryable metrics in the API
- User Account — Check your API plan, rate limits, and usage statistics
- Plans & Pricing — View available subscription tiers and features

- Policy Makers — track Australia's energy transition progress and state-by-state renewable adoption
Frequently asked questions about the AEMO Australian Energy MCP Server
What Australian regions/states are covered in the NEM data?
The National Electricity Market (NEM) covers five regions: New South Wales (NSW1), Victoria (VIC1), Queensland (QLD1), South Australia (SA1), and Tasmania (TAS1). The API also supports the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) for Western Australia. Data is available at both the national aggregate level and broken down by individual region.
How do I get an API token for OpenElectricity?
Visit the OpenElectricity developer portal at https://openelectricity.org.au/content/developers and sign up for a free Community plan. You'll receive a Bearer token that you can paste into the credential field. The Community plan provides generous rate limits suitable for individual use and research. Higher-tier plans (Pro, Academic, Enterprise) are available for commercial applications.
Can I track the percentage of renewable energy in real-time?
Yes! Use the get_renewable_proportion tool to fetch the current percentage of electricity generation coming from renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro, battery) versus fossil fuels (coal, gas). You can query this at 5-minute intervals for live tracking, or aggregate to hourly, daily, or monthly views. The get_network_by_fueltech tool also provides a detailed breakdown showing each technology's contribution separately.
What time intervals are available for querying historical data?
The API supports multiple time granularities: 5m (5-minute intervals, most granular), 1h (hourly), 1d (daily), 7d (weekly), 1M (monthly), 3M (quarterly), 1y (yearly), season (seasonal aggregation), and fy (financial year). You can specify date ranges using date_start and date_end parameters in ISO format. Historical data extends back several years for most metrics.
