What you can do with this MCP connector
This server hooks your AI client directly into aWATTar's real-time energy price feed, giving you granular control over how you run your house. You won't just look at prices; you'll use the data to schedule everything—from washing machines to EV charging—for when the electricity is dirt cheap. It’s all about knowing that predictive curve.
get_current_yaml: This tool retrieves aWATTar's current price statistics and operational thresholds, formatting them into a ready-to-use YAML block. You'll use this to instantly configure smart home systems. The output gives you the latest hourly rate information and any necessary limits or parameters structured exactly how controllers like LOXONE expect it.
When you run get_current_yaml, your agent gets a clean, actionable configuration file that tells other devices what the current pricing landscape is, making integration simple and immediate.
get_market_data: This tool fetches general market data points from the EPEX Spot market. You're pulling real-world electricity prices for specific time windows. By running get_market_data, you can grab two key types of information: first, general pricing that covers a 24-hour window; and second, the full forecast curve for tomorrow. This is essential because it lets you look ahead, figuring out exactly when high-consumption appliances should run to save real cash.
When you need historical context—say, you're running an efficiency report or auditing usage over a past month—you use get_market_data again. It accepts epoch timestamps, which means you can tell it the exact start and end time of any period you want to analyze. You get precise market data for that specific window, letting you generate detailed reports on energy costs over arbitrary time frames.
Because the tool handles both real-time querying and forecasting, you'll never have to guess what your electricity costs are next week. By pulling tomorrow's predicted price curve, you can program complex routines: if prices dip below a certain threshold (which you get from get_current_yaml), then run the water softener; if they climb too high, then pause the main HVAC unit until the cost drops.
It’s about making sure your heavy usage aligns perfectly with the lowest price points available.
You're not just checking a dashboard here. You're building an automated system that reacts to market forces. The combination of getting instant YAML configs for immediate actions and pulling detailed, time-specific historical data via epoch timestamps gives you complete control over consumption planning. It’s smart automation based on hard numbers, period.
How Awattar MCP Works
- 1 Ask your AI client to get energy data. Reference either
get_current_yamlorget_market_data. - 2 The server runs, pulling the latest EPEX Spot pricing and formatting it according to your request (YAML block or time series).
- 3 Your agent receives structured data—either a ready-to-use YAML config for Loxone or a JSON output detailing price changes over hours.
The bottom line is, you get actionable energy pricing data without needing to visit an external website or manually parse complex spreadsheets.
Who Is Awattar MCP For?
This server is for people managing physical infrastructure and real-world costs. You're the smart home enthusiast whose bill gets too high, or the sustainability advocate who needs to prove they're reducing carbon footprint by shifting usage. If you deal with IoT systems that cost money to run, this is for you.
Uses get_current_yaml and get_market_data to feed accurate pricing data into platforms like Loxone or Home Assistant, automating energy savings.
Queries market data using specific time intervals to advise clients on optimal usage schedules for renewable resource integration.
Integrates the structured YAML output into custom applications or development workflows, making energy costs a core variable in their code.
What Changes When You Connect
- Automate savings instantly. With
get_current_yaml, you feed live pricing data into Loxone or Home Assistant, letting the system automatically cut costs when prices spike. - Plan usage days ahead. Use
get_market_datato see tomorrow's expected price curve. You can program your washing machine or water heater to run only during the cheapest window. - Generate clean reports easily. By using epoch timestamps with
get_market_data, you pull market data for specific reporting periods, perfect for tax write-offs or energy audits. - Reduce manual configuration time. Instead of copying and pasting messy price tables,
get_current_yamlgives you a structured YAML output ready to drop into your automation logic. - Maximize green usage. You can shift high-energy tasks—like running an EV charger—to times when the grid has cheap power or high renewable input.
Real-World Use Cases
The Overpriced Appliance Problem
A homeowner needs to run their electric oven, but only at night. They ask their agent, 'What's the best time?' The agent uses get_market_data and tells them prices drop significantly between 1 AM and 5 AM. The homeowner schedules the appliance for that window, saving money.
The Loxone Integration Headache
An IoT developer needs to integrate aWATTar pricing into their Loxone system. Instead of writing complex parsing code, they ask for get_current_yaml. They get the perfect YAML block and paste it directly into their automation logic.
The Energy Audit Requirement
A sustainability officer needs to prove energy usage over Q3. The agent uses get_market_data, specifying precise start and end epoch timestamps, pulling clean data that shows exactly when the facility consumed power versus market cost.
The Tradeoffs
Using raw CSV dumps
Manually downloading aWATTar’s pricing from their site and trying to fit it into YAML format for Loxone. This is tedious, prone to human error, and breaks every time the source structure changes.
→
Use get_current_yaml. It handles the formatting automatically, giving you a clean, ready-to-use block that matches your automation system's requirements.
Assuming static pricing
Scheduling a high-energy task without checking future prices. You might run it when costs peak (e.g., 7 PM), wasting money unnecessarily.
→
Always use get_market_data to check the forecast for tomorrow's prices before scheduling anything major.
Over-complicating time requests
Asking for vague dates like 'next week.' The system needs specific parameters and won't give you a useful output, forcing you to start over.
→ Be precise. Ask for the market data using either an epoch timestamp or specify the exact day/window needed in your prompt.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your primary job involves optimizing physical energy usage based on fluctuating market costs. You need to schedule appliances (HVAC, water heaters, EV chargers) to run when electricity is cheapest. If you only need general data—like checking a single price point—the tools are still useful, but the full automation potential is missed.
Don't use this if your goal is purely financial analysis or macroeconomic research; those require different data sources. Also, don't rely on it for real-time grid status (e.g., 'is the power out?'); that needs a dedicated utility feed. Use get_current_yaml when you need to program an existing smart home controller and get_market_data when you are planning or analyzing a time window.

Available Capabilities
Dealing with volatile energy pricing shouldn't feel like a guessing game.
Today, optimizing your home energy usage means checking multiple sources: the utility website for current rates, the appliance manual for peak draw, and then manually trying to fit that data into YAML syntax for Loxone or Home Assistant. It's time-consuming, error-prone copy-pasting.
With this MCP server, you ask your agent one question—like 'What's the cheapest time tomorrow?'—and it runs `get_market_data`. You get structured data and a clear answer on when to run high-consumption tasks. Done.
Awattar MCP Server: Get YAML stats for smart home automation.
Without this tool, you'd have to manually track price changes across hours and calculate the optimal running window yourself. You’re constantly guessing when energy is cheapest or most expensive.
Now, just call `get_current_yaml`. It instantly pulls aWATTar’s current thresholds into perfect YAML format for your automation system. That's what you get: immediate integration without manual data wrangling.
Common Questions About Awattar MCP
When are the electricity prices for the next day available? +
