Share ANEEL datasets across your team in VS Code

This MCP Server integrates `list_packages` into your VS Code workspace so your entire development team can query the Brazilian energy registry. Committing the configuration to your repo ensures every engineer has immediate access to ANEEL power sector datasets. Copilot uses this shared access to answer team questions about electricity tariffs, infrastructure metrics, and utility regulations. It eliminates manual ANEEL dataset lookups across your engineering department.

Generate ANEEL ingestion code inside VS Code Copilot

The `get_package` and `get_resource` tools provide Copilot with the precise metadata and download URLs for ANEEL resources. This allows the assistant to generate production-ready code tailored to the actual structure of the Brazilian energy files. Your team can generate clean typescript or python parsers for ANEEL CSV and PDF files without leaving the editor. Copilot reads the real-time metadata to ensure your energy pipelines do not break on schema updates.

Validate ANEEL queries directly in Copilot Chat

As a native MCP tool, `search_datastore` lets your team execute live searches against the Brazilian utility database from the Copilot interface. Engineers can verify query syntax and check returned rows of energy data without external API clients. This direct validation speeds up development of Brazilian energy analytics tools. Copilot displays the actual records returned by the ANEEL portal to confirm your queries are correct.
