How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your OpenElectricity API Bearer token (free Community plan available)

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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
