Perplexity

Map power grid demand via Claude Desktop

`get_grid_demand` pulls hourly electric grid load across major U.S. operators right into your chat. You ask your agent for the latest supply bottlenecks, and it checks real-time consumption against `get_generator_inventory` to find exactly which operable generators are online. The data hits your screen before you even open a browser tab. Tracking individual facilities takes seconds. Your AI client grabs net generation and heat rates using `get_plant_generation` while checking `get_nuclear_outages` for offline reactors. You get a raw, unvarnished look at the physical infrastructure keeping the lights on.

Track petroleum and natural gas markets

`get_natgas_storage` fetches the weekly underground storage levels that move North American gas trading. Traders wait all week for these numbers, but you just tell your agent to pull the latest report. It cross-references those figures with `get_natgas_prices` to show how Henry Hub spot prices react to supply changes. Oil fundamentals work the same way. The `get_petroleum_summary` tool grabs the weekly supply and demand balance, including imports and commercial stocks. Add `get_crude_imports` to break down incoming barrels by country and grade, giving you a clear picture of domestic dependency.

Analyze 30-year energy projections

`get_annual_outlook` extracts 30-year projections for U.S. production, consumption, and emissions directly from the National Energy Modeling System. You skip the 200-page PDF reports. Instead, you instruct the AI to pull specific reference cases and compare them against historical data from `get_total_energy`. Short-term planning relies on different metrics. The `get_short_term_outlook` tool feeds 18-month price and supply forecasts into your workspace. Compare those federal estimates against `get_international_outlook` to see where domestic trends diverge from global consumption patterns.

Yes, the AI client can pull raw arrays using get_state_energy_data and write React code to render interactive dashboards. You just ask for a visualization of the data it retrieves.

Your agent has access to seven specific gas tools. It reads Henry Hub spot prices, underground storage levels, and sector-level consumption. You can also track gross withdrawals and marketed production.

The server includes get_international_data for country-level production and emissions. It also provides global projections via the international outlook tool.

Vinkius runs this integration inside an isolated V8 sandbox that only routes your specific queries for data like U.S. nuclear reactor outages. The ephemeral environment destroys itself after fetching the get_nuclear_outages response. Your local files never cross paths with the external API requests.
