Perplexity

Live grid demand streaming

Pipe hourly balancing authority data directly into your frontend components using `get_grid_demand`. Your users see shifting load patterns the second the data hits the wire. Stop forcing users to stare at loading spinners. This MCP Server updates your UI state as the AI processes the raw EIA-930 feed in real-time.

Instant state-level price lookups

Fetch retail electricity rates with `get_electricity_prices` to populate your dashboard charts instantly. It pulls from EIA-826 and EIA-861 records to give your AI client accurate pricing context. Your application handles the data stream, so you can map retail trends across the country without building out a massive database backend yourself.

Individual plant generation tracking

Query specific operational metrics for any facility using `get_plant_generation`. You get heat rates and fuel consumption data straight from the EIA-923 survey results. Expose these granular details to your AI client to help users compare plant efficiency. It turns complex survey data into readable metrics your frontend can display immediately.

Setup guide

Set up EIA Electricity — Power Grid Intelligence MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all EIA Electricity — Power Grid Intelligence tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent EIA Electricity — Power Grid Intelligence transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();
