Frequently asked questions
What Australian regions/states are covered in the NEM data?
The National Electricity Market (NEM) covers five regions: New South Wales (NSW1), Victoria (VIC1), Queensland (QLD1), South Australia (SA1), and Tasmania (TAS1). The API also supports the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) for Western Australia. Data is available at both the national aggregate level and broken down by individual region.
How do I get an API token for OpenElectricity?
Visit the OpenElectricity developer portal at https://openelectricity.org.au/content/developers and sign up for a free Community plan. You'll receive a Bearer token that you can paste into the credential field. The Community plan provides generous rate limits suitable for individual use and research. Higher-tier plans (Pro, Academic, Enterprise) are available for commercial applications.
Can I track the percentage of renewable energy in real-time?
Yes! Use the get_renewable_proportion tool to fetch the current percentage of electricity generation coming from renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro, battery) versus fossil fuels (coal, gas). You can query this at 5-minute intervals for live tracking, or aggregate to hourly, daily, or monthly views. The get_network_by_fueltech tool also provides a detailed breakdown showing each technology's contribution separately.
What time intervals are available for querying historical data?
The API supports multiple time granularities: 5m (5-minute intervals, most granular), 1h (hourly), 1d (daily), 7d (weekly), 1M (monthly), 3M (quarterly), 1y (yearly), season (seasonal aggregation), and fy (financial year). You can specify date ranges using date_start and date_end parameters in ISO format. Historical data extends back several years for most metrics.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
