How to Use the AEMO Australian Energy MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the AEMO Australian Energy MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http aemo-australian-energy-mcp -- in your terminal. Make sure to place all transport flags before the server name, then run claude mcp list to verify.

Q: Can I pipe AEMO Australian Energy CLI output to other command-line tools?

Yes. You can ask Claude Code to fetch data using getnetworkbyfueltech and format the output as JSON, allowing you to pipe the results directly into jq or redirect them to a local file.

Q: How do I update my API key for AEMO Australian Energy in Claude Code?

Update the authorization headers in your local /.claude.json file. The CLI agent will immediately use the new credentials when executing tools like getuserprofile to authenticate with OpenElectricity.

Q: Can I filter facility lists by fuel type or network status?

Yes, the listfacilities tool lets you filter by fuel technology, operational status, network, or facility code. This helps you narrow down thousands of generators to just the wind or coal units you care about.

Pipe live Australian energy metrics, spot prices, and emissions data straight into your terminal with Claude Code.

Perplexity

Automate terminal-based grid reporting via Claude Code

Run complex energy audits directly from your command line. Claude Code calls `get_network_data` to pull raw time-series metrics and pipes the output into custom local scripts or text files. You don't need a browser to monitor the grid. The CLI agent uses `get_renewable_proportion` to check green generation levels and outputs clean, formatted terminal tables in a single command.

Monitor spot prices and grid demand from the shell

Keep tabs on market volatility without leaving your terminal. This MCP Server exposes `get_market_data` so you can instantly check current spot prices and regional demand. When price spikes occur, the agent runs `get_market_updates` to fetch the latest social posts and operational updates from OpenElectricity. You can easily script these checks into cron jobs or local alert systems.

Track facility capacity and emissions via CLI

Investigating specific generator outputs is incredibly fast over SSH. Claude Code uses `list_facilities` to find plant codes and immediately queries `get_facility_data` to check their live output. If you are auditing emissions, the agent calls `get_pollution_data` to extract National Pollutant Inventory metrics. You get raw data delivered straight to your stdout for easy piping to grep or jq.
