Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The pain of tracking US energy markets by hand, Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Today, checking regional power dynamics means logging into three different vendor portals. You copy load numbers from one dashboard, export pricing data to a second spreadsheet, and then manually cross-reference the fuel mix report from a third site. It's tedious, slow, and you always risk getting outdated data or comparing apples to oranges because of inconsistent schemas.

With this MCP, your agent does the heavy lifting. You just ask for what you need—like 'Compare PJM load against its fuel mix last quarter.' The system pulls the standardized load figures alongside the generation breakdown into one cohesive answer.

Get US Grid Data with GridStatus MCP

Manual data collection means tracking multiple APIs, dealing with different date formats, and spending hours cleaning up disparate datasets. You spend more time writing transformation scripts than doing actual analysis.

Now, you simply prompt your agent. It handles the complexity of multi-ISO coverage, real-time filtering, and standardized zonal querying automatically. The data just appears where you need it.

What your AI can actually do with this

Analyzing the energy markets is complex. You need granular data covering multiple regions, different time scales, and shifting inputs—all at once. This MCP lets your agent pull that intelligence directly. It provides structured access to real-time load measurements (MW), generation breakdowns by source (wind, solar, coal, etc.), and crucial market pricing signals.

Whether you're modeling capacity commitments or just checking the current price spike in Texas, this tool aggregates data from every major Independent System Operator across America. You can query specific historical datasets, check metadata for coverage dates, or analyze standardized zonal trends to build accurate models. By connecting GridStatus through Vinkius, your AI agent becomes an instant energy analyst, delivering actionable insights on US grid dynamics without you ever having to visit a vendor dashboard.

Questions you might have

What ISOs does GridStatus cover for load data? +

GridStatus supports major US ISOs including ERCOT (Texas), CAISO (California), PJM, MISO, NYISO, and others. You can use the get_load_data tool specifying any of these identifiers.

How do I check real-time pricing in Texas? +

Use the get_realtime_spp tool. This specifically tracks 15-minute Settlement Point Prices (SPP) across various trading hubs and zones within the ERCOT grid.

Do I need to use a specific tool for fuel mix data? +

Yes, you should use get_fuel_mix. This dedicated tool provides the energy breakdown by source (solar, wind, etc.) across supported ISOs like CAISO and ercot.

What if I need a dataset not covered by the specialized tools? +

If you have a specific data identifier in mind that isn't covered elsewhere, use query_dataset. This tool allows for advanced filtering or resampling on virtually any available GridStatus dataset.

Is this MCP suitable for long-term planning? +

Absolutely. You can monitor capacity commitments using get_capacity_data and use standardized data from the past to model future resource adequacy for your ISOs.
