Check Utility Bills from Chat

Stop logging into different portals to find your bills. Your AI client can now pull up all your Arcadia Utility Cloud accounts with `list_accounts`. From there, ask it to `list_statements` to see every bill you've collected. Once you have a list, you can dig into a specific bill. Give your agent a statement ID and use `get_statement` to pull up the details. It's a much faster way to check your utility spending without leaving Claude.

Track Energy Use in Plain English

This MCP Server connects Claude directly to your utility meter data. Start by using `list_meters` to see all the meters you're tracking in Arcadia. Your agent will show you a list right in the chat window. After you have a meter ID, you can ask your AI client to fetch detailed consumption history with `get_meter_data`. See usage spikes, track trends, and get the raw data without writing a single line of code.

Connect to Arcadia in Seconds

Getting started is simple. Just add the Vinkius MCP server URL to your Claude settings. It works on both the desktop app and the web version at claude.ai, so you can use it anywhere. After you connect, you can immediately test the connection. Just ask your agent to run `get_account_check`. You'll get a quick confirmation that everything is working, and you can start pulling utility data right away.

Common questions about Arcadia Utility Cloud MCP in Claude Desktop

Connect the server, then just ask Claude in plain language. For example, "list my Arcadia statements" will trigger the `list_statements` tool. You can then ask it to get details for a specific bill.

Yes. Once connected, ask your agent to "list my meters" and then "get meter data for [meter ID]". It pulls the consumption data directly from Arcadia and shows it to you in the chat.

The Arcadia tools work the same on both. The Desktop app can run local MCP servers, but for a managed server like this, you just paste the URL in either client. The web version is often faster for getting started.

Nope. With Claude, you just talk to it. The AI figures out which tool to call, like `get_meter_data` or `list_accounts`, based on what you ask for.

Your utility account details and meter readings are passed through Vinkius's ephemeral, zero-trust infrastructure. The data is only used for the specific request your agent makes and is never stored on our servers.
