Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Nord Pool status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Nord Pool MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Nord Pool to Claude Code via MCP:
get_auction_flows
Requires both source and destination area codes. Flows reflect the scheduled energy exchange determined during the day-ahead market coupling process. Optionally filter by delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD). Retrieve auction flows between two delivery areas
get_auction_volumes
Use standard bidding zone codes separated by commas. Optionally filter by delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD). Volumes indicate the total cleared energy quantity per Market Time Unit in each area. Retrieve day-ahead auction volumes for specified delivery areas
get_consumption_forecasts
These forecasts represent the expected electricity consumption (load) for each Market Time Unit within a delivery area. Use standard bidding zone codes separated by commas. Optionally filter by delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD). Consumption forecasts are essential for production planning, trading strategy, and grid balancing decisions. Retrieve power consumption forecasts by delivery area
get_day_ahead_prices
Delivery areas are standard European bidding zone codes such as NO1, NO2, SE1, SE2, SE3, SE4, DK1, DK2, FI, EE, LV, LT, DE-LU, AT, FR, NL, BE, PL. You can pass multiple areas separated by commas. Optionally filter by a specific delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD) and currency (EUR, NOK, SEK, DKK, PLN, GBP). Prices are returned in 15-minute Market Time Units (MTU) by default since the transition to 15-min resolution in SDAC. Retrieve day-ahead auction prices for specified delivery areas
get_flow_based_constraints
Flow-based constraints define the allowable power transfer limits in flow-based market coupling regions (e.g. Core, Nordic). The domain parameter specifies which regional coupling zone to query. Optionally filter by delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD). Retrieve flow-based constraints for a market coupling domain
get_scheduled_physical_flows
These flows represent the planned physical cross-border electricity transfers, including both commercial exchanges and loop flows. Requires source and destination area codes. Optionally filter by delivery date. Retrieve scheduled physical flows between two delivery areas
get_transmission_capacities
Requires both source and destination area codes (e.g. NO1 to SE3). ATC represents the maximum commercial power transfer capacity allocated for the day-ahead market coupling. Optionally filter by delivery date (YYYY-MM-DD). Retrieve Available Transmission Capacities (ATC) between two delivery areas
get_user_subscriptions
Use this tool to verify which data products (Day-Ahead, Intraday, Power System Data, etc.) are available to the current credentials before attempting to query specific endpoints. List the active API data subscriptions for the authenticated account
get_yearly_prices
Use standard bidding zone codes (e.g. NO1, SE3, DE-LU). Optionally filter by year (YYYY) and currency. Useful for long-term price trend analysis and year-over-year comparisons. Retrieve yearly aggregated auction prices for a delivery area
get_yearly_volumes
Useful for analyzing annual energy consumption and trading patterns within a specific bidding zone. Retrieve yearly aggregated auction volumes for a delivery area
