Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Optimizing Solar Usage

A homeowner can ask the agent when wholesale prices are negative, helping them optimize self-consumption of solar power.

02

EV Charging Strategy

An EV owner can find optimal charging times by checking when prices are low and the renewable proportion is high.

03

Market Reporting

An analyst can pull historical data to compare power generation and demand across different Australian states for a quarterly report.

04

Impact Assessment

A sustainability team can query emissions data to track the environmental impact of specific energy facilities.

Automate a task

Put OpenElectricity (OpenNEM) to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

OpenElectricity (OpenNEM) works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put OpenElectricity (OpenNEM) to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

FAQ

Questions OpenElectricity (OpenNEM) owners ask.

  • 01

    Is the data real-time?

    Yes. The MCP provides real-time and historical data for the National Electricity Market (NEM). You can query spot prices and generation mix with high granularity, including 5-minute intervals.

  • 02

    Does this cover all Australian states?

    The data supports regional analysis across multiple Australian states and territories. You can specifically compare power generation and demand across different regions.

  • 03

    Can I track emissions?

    Yes. The connector includes a capability to query pollution data from the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI). You can filter this data by pollutant, facility, or category.

  • 04

    What kind of data can I get on power generation?

    You can get total network generation and a detailed breakdown by fuel technology, including solar, wind, coal, gas, hydro, and battery.

  • 05

    What if I need data from last year?

    The MCP supports historical data retrieval. You can use the network data capabilities to pull time series data for specific date ranges, allowing for year-over-year comparisons.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    Can I track the percentage of renewable energy in real-time?

    Yes! Use the get_renewable_proportion capability 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 capability also provides a detailed breakdown showing each technology's contribution separately.

  • 09

    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.
