Live energy tickers inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and terminal when analyzing Flux Markets energy data. This MCP Server lets your Claude Desktop chat pull real-time pricing and market snapshots directly into your conversation. When you ask about market movements, Claude uses `get_live_tickers` and `get_market_snapshot` to fetch live numbers instantly. You get raw, unfiltered market data without leaving your workspace. Your agent processes these feeds to highlight sudden spreads, saving you from manual calculations during volatile sessions.

Analyze COT data and official benchmarks

Regulatory shifts move energy markets fast. With this MCP Server integration, Claude Desktop reads Commitment of Traders reports via `get_cot_data` to track institutional positioning on the spot. It also pulls daily benchmark reports using `get_officials` so you can spot where the smart money is moving. Instead of downloading massive PDFs from government sites, you ask Claude to parse the sentiment. The desktop client reads the structured data payload and summarizes net-long or net-short positions in seconds.

Map historical trends with this MCP Server

Pulling historical energy prices shouldn't require complex python scripts. This MCP Server gives Claude Desktop direct access to historical pricing via `get_historical_tickers` and daily swap settlements through `get_swap_settlements`. You can command your desktop agent to correlate past winter spikes with current swap settlements. It maps out the historical curve right inside your chat window, giving you clear context on current pricing anomalies.
