How to Use the Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in Claude Code

Q: What's the command to add the Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP server to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http arcadia -- . You can then verify it's connected with claude mcp list. The name 'arcadia' is just an alias you choose.

Q: How does Claude Code secure my Arcadia Utility Cloud data?

Your Vinkius token, stored locally in /.claude.json, handles authentication for all requests. The server itself is ephemeral; it processes requests for your utility meter data and statement metadata in a temporary, sandboxed environment and stores nothing.

Pipe your Arcadia utility data directly into shell scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines using Claude Code from your terminal.

Script Your Utility Bill Checks

Use this MCP Server from any shell to automate your finances. A simple script can call `list_accounts`, then `list_statements`, and `grep` for the latest bill amount. Set it up as a cron job to run weekly. If a new bill is found, pipe the output to a notification script. You never have to log into a utility website again.

Monitor Energy Usage from the Command Line

Need to quickly check consumption for a specific meter? Just run Claude Code with a prompt to use `get_meter_data`. The output is clean JSON, perfect for piping into `jq`. This is great for DevOps or SREs monitoring infrastructure costs. You can build a script that polls utility meters for your data centers and alerts you if consumption exceeds a set threshold.

Run MCP Server Exports in CI/CD

Integrate utility data checks directly into your deployment process. Add a step in your GitHub Action or Jenkinsfile that calls this MCP Server to confirm account status with `get_account_check`. You can also build automated reports. A nightly job could use `list_meters` and `get_meter_data` to pull all usage data for the month, format it as CSV, and upload it to cloud storage.
