Perplexity

Standardize energy data access

Commit your configuration to .vscode/mcp.json so every developer on your team uses the same tools. You can run `get_network_data` to ensure everyone is looking at the same power and generation numbers. This removes the need for individual setup. It makes team-wide coordination on energy projects much faster.

Automate market reporting

Use the agent to call `get_market_updates` for the latest social posts and grid news. You can build internal reporting tools that query these updates automatically. It keeps your engineering team aware of major market shifts. You get the data without leaving the IDE.

Track renewable transition metrics

Fetch the current renewable proportion with `get_renewable_proportion` to include in your team dashboards. It provides a clear view of how the Australian grid is changing. Pair this with `get_network_by_region` to break down stats by state. It gives your team the granularity needed for large-scale analysis.
