About Nord Pool MCP Server
Tap into the heartbeat of the European power market with Nord Pool — the continent's leading electricity exchange operating across 16 countries.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Nord Pool into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Nord Pool and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Day-Ahead Prices — Retrieve clearing prices for any bidding zone (NO1, SE3, DK1, DE-LU, FR, NL, and more) in 15-minute Market Time Units
- Yearly Price Trends — Analyze long-term electricity price patterns and year-over-year performance for any delivery area
- Auction Volumes — Query traded volumes (MWh) per area to understand market depth and liquidity
- Transmission Capacities — Inspect Available Transmission Capacity (ATC) between interconnected bidding zones
- Cross-Border Flows — Track commercial auction flows and scheduled physical power transfers between regions
- Flow-Based Constraints — Access flow-based market coupling parameters for Core and Nordic domains
- Consumption Forecasts — Pull load forecasts that drive trading strategies and grid balancing decisions
- Subscription Validation — Verify which data products are available on your API account
The Nord Pool MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Cursor with the Nord Pool MCP Server
Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Nord Pool through the Model Context Protocol.
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Nord Pool + Cursor Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Nord Pool MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP
Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically
Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates
Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data
Nord Pool MCP Tools for Cursor (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Nord Pool to Cursor 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
Example Prompts for Nord Pool in Cursor
