Key Capabilities
Inject live cost data via Cursor MCP
Your AI client executes `calculate_monthly_expenses` to pull raw billing projections directly into your codebase. You skip writing boilerplate logic and get straight to the actual dollar amounts. We built this MCP to handle the heavy lifting of rate conversion. You just provide the kilowatt-hours and let the system map it against the utility rates.
Full appliance teardowns
You need the whole picture when building energy dashboards. Calling `get_appliance_impact_summary` returns the complete power and cost profile for any device in one shot. This gives you the baseline metrics you need for commercial equipment decisions. You get accurate financial projections without relying on static regional averages.
Granular daily usage tracking
Sometimes you only need the 24-hour view. Your agent runs `calculate_daily_consumption` to determine the exact energy footprint for a single day of operation. You pass the wattage and run time. The output gives you the exact daily kilowatt-hours, which is perfect for modeling peak-load shifting scenarios.
