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.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Nord Pool data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
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 VS Code Copilot 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 VS Code Copilot with the Nord Pool MCP Server
GitHub Copilot for Visual Studio Code provides unique advantages when paired with Nord Pool through the Model Context Protocol.
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
Project-scoped MCP configs (`.vscode/mcp.json`) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services
Nord Pool + VS Code Copilot Use Cases
Practical scenarios where VS Code Copilot combined with the Nord Pool MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Live API integration: Copilot can query an MCP server, inspect the response schema, and generate typed API client code in the same step
DevSecOps workflows: security teams can give developers access to domain intelligence tools directly in their editor for real-time vulnerability assessment during code review
Data pipeline development: Copilot fetches sample data via MCP and generates transformation scripts, validators, and test fixtures from actual API responses
Documentation generation: Copilot queries available tools and auto-generates README sections, API reference docs, and usage examples
Nord Pool MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Nord Pool to VS Code Copilot 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
