Nord Pool MCP Tools for Claude Desktop (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Nord Pool to Claude Desktop 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
