How to Use the Arcadia Plug MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I export my Arcadia Plug meters using Claude Code?

Ask the CLI to fetch your hardware list. It will execute listmeters and you can tell it to pipe that output directly into a local CSV or JSON file.

Pipe utility bills into your terminal. Claude Code automates Arcadia Plug data extraction via this MCP Server.

Script account audits with Claude Code

Running manual checks on utility accounts wastes time. You can drop this agent into a cron job and have it run `list_accounts` via the MCP Server every morning at 6 AM. The CLI grabs the JSON output and pipes it directly into your alerting system. Headless execution changes how you monitor infrastructure. Claude Code follows up by running `get_account_check` to verify the connection health, failing the CI/CD pipeline immediately if an auth token drops.

Extract billing history from the shell

Finance teams always need historical cost data at the worst possible times. Instead of logging into a web portal, you just tell your terminal to run `list_statements`. The agent pulls the entire billing history and drops it into a local file. Digging deeper requires zero context switching. If a specific month looks expensive, the CLI executes `get_statement` to grab the line items. You get the exact breakdown printed to your standard output without leaving your SSH session.

Sync hardware meters via MCP Server

Tracking physical infrastructure drift is a massive headache. You can trigger a script that uses `list_meters` to pull the current hardware state from the utility provider. The agent formats this data so you can compare it against your internal asset database. Finding orphaned meters takes seconds. The CLI cross-references the hardware with active logins using `list_credentials`. Any meter without a valid login gets flagged in your terminal output instantly.

Common questions about Arcadia Plug MCP in Claude Code

Run claude mcp add --transport http arcadia-plug -- . Make sure you put the transport flag before the server name.

Yes, the CLI operates completely headless. You can script it to run `list_statements` during a deployment pipeline to log utility costs alongside your infrastructure changes.

Ask the CLI to fetch your hardware list. It will execute `list_meters` and you can tell it to pipe that output directly into a local CSV or JSON file.

Your environment variables might be missing. When the agent runs `get_account_check`, it relies on the auth token configured in your local JSON settings file.

Only if you explicitly tell it to write a file. The Vinkius backend processes your statement line items and meter IDs in a stateless V8 sandbox, leaving no trace on the server side.
