UtilityAPI MCP. Analyze 100+ utilities' billing and usage data.

UtilityAPI connects your agent to utility data from over 100 US providers—think PG&E, Con Edison, National Grid. It lets you pull everything you need—from high-level billing summaries right down to minute-by-minute usage intervals—without ever having to write a separate connection for every single company.

Managing the Connection: You'll start by figuring out which utilities are even supported; list_utilities gives you a catalog of over 100 options, so you know exactly what code to use. To get started with any customer data, your agent needs proper authorization first. You can check available form setups using get_form_templates, and then generate the necessary secure link for the user with create_auth_form; this tool spits out a unique form ID that redirects customers right to the correct utility portal so they can share their info safely.

Testing and Setup: When you're building or testing, don't bother asking a customer—you can simulate the entire process using test_form_submission, which lets you pretend a user submitted an authorization form with a specific referral code. If you need to track who’s actually granted access, list_authorizations gives you a list of all customer accounts that have given utility data access, helping you keep tabs on what information's available.

Finding the Meters: Before you pull any numbers, you gotta find the service point. list_meters gets you a full rundown of every connected utility meter—every single service point—at specific addresses and gives you their unique IDs. After that, if you want to track all your meters' status, get_events retrieves a log of service changes, letting you know when an authorization was created or when data collection finished.

For development purposes, activate_historical_collection starts the process of collecting historical data for specific utility meters once a new customer has authorized access.

Pulling Billing Data: When it comes to money, get_billing_summaries retrieves high-level reports on billing periods, total costs, and your API usage account details. For a complete dive into the records, you'll use get_bills, which pulls out the entire utility bill history for authorized meters, including dates, dollar costs, and energy amounts measured in kWh or therms.

You can get a whole picture of one meter by calling get_meter_data; this single function combines both the detailed interval readings and the full financial bill summary into one call.

Tracking Usage Data: To map out consumption patterns, your agent uses get_intervals to pull granular energy usage data. This gives you readings over specific time slots—either 15 minutes or hourly—for authorized meters. You can also get a complete view of both the financial bill summary and these detailed usage intervals simultaneously using get_meter_data.

Keeping Things Running: If something goes sideways, you'll track it through the system status via get_events, which logs service failures or successful data collections. This whole setup lets your agent manage the entire lifecycle: from getting customer consent and identifying the meter IDs to pulling combined financial reports with granular usage patterns all in one place.

You don’t need separate connections for each provider; this API handles it all.
