Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API token to use the Corrently Energy MCP server?
No! Most Corrently API endpoints work without authentication. An optional token is only needed if you want higher rate limits for heavy usage. Simply subscribe to the server and start querying energy data immediately.
What German zip codes are supported for energy forecasts?
All German Postleitzahl (PLZ) 5-digit zip codes are supported — from 01067 (Dresden) to 80331 (Munich). Simply provide any valid German zip code and the API will return localized energy forecasts for that region's grid area.
Can I use this MCP server to optimize when I charge my electric vehicle?
Absolutely! Use the get_best_hour tool to find optimal charging windows based on renewable energy availability or lowest CO₂ emissions. Then use create_energy_schedule to generate a full optimized charging plan. You can also use get_phev_charge_or_fuel if you drive a plug-in hybrid and need advice on whether to charge electrically or use fuel.
How accurate are the solar generation predictions for my photovoltaic system?
The get_solar_prediction tool provides forecasts based on weather models and your system's kWp capacity. Accuracy depends on location, panel orientation, and weather conditions. It's best used for relative comparisons (e.g., "Will tomorrow be sunnier than today?") rather than absolute precision. For typical home systems (5-10 kWp), day-ahead forecasts are generally within 15-25% of actual generation.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
