Manage utility accounts in Claude Desktop

Keep tabs on every utility account linked to your organization. You can run `list_accounts` to see exactly what is active and ready for review. Your AI client pulls this list directly from your dashboard. It saves you the trouble of jumping between browser tabs just to check your active connections.

Fetch specific billing history

Grab the details for any historical bill using `get_statement`. This gives you the raw data you need to reconcile numbers or track monthly usage patterns. Claude Desktop presents this data clearly so you can spot trends. You get the facts without digging through piles of PDFs or email attachments.

Monitor meter status via MCP Server

Run `list_meters` to get a snapshot of every meter currently reporting to your account. This MCP Server makes it simple to verify that your hardware is talking to the grid. You avoid manual checks by having your agent pull the list. It confirms your setup is live and reporting the data you expect.

Common questions about Arcadia Plug MCP in Claude Desktop

You need to edit your configuration file. Add the server details to your claude_desktop_config.json, save the file, and restart the app.

The server retrieves statement details rather than the files themselves. You can use `list_statements` to find the specific ID and get the metadata you need.

Your utility credentials and billing records stay within your local environment. This MCP Server uses standard authentication to keep your data isolated.

It puts your utility data exactly where you work. You stop switching windows and let your agent query your accounts directly.

The server only reads your utility metadata. It does not store your records, keeping your account information private and secure at all times.
