Works with 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 10 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Tracking Power Flow Costs and Constraints

Today, tracking grid economics means jumping between dozens of utility dashboards. You pull the system load from one tab, the LMP data from another, and then manually compare it to a separate document showing reserve requirements. It's copy-paste hell, and you always risk using outdated numbers because nobody updates everything simultaneously.

With this MCP, your agent pulls all that information together. You ask for a comparison—say, current load versus available reserves. The system returns the analyzed data set immediately, giving you a single source of truth without leaving your workspace.

Get Real-Time Cost Signals with get_lmp

Manual processes often rely on general market indices or end-of-day summaries that obscure local price spikes. You have to wait for reports that only tell you the average cost, not where the actual stress points are.

Now you get granular data instantly. The agent retrieves 5-minute Locational Marginal Prices using `get_lmp`. This gives you the necessary resolution to pinpoint exactly which part of the grid is experiencing high costs right now.

What your AI can actually do with this

This MCP lets your agent monitor the entire New England power grid, pulling operational data straight from ISO New England. You can retrieve key metrics like real-time system load levels and the current mix of generation fuels—natural gas, nuclear, renewables—all in one place. Need to understand market costs? The tool provides 5-minute Locational Marginal Prices (LMP) and day-ahead pricing for planning purposes.

It also tracks reserve requirements and clearing prices, which is vital when auditing grid resilience capacity. If you're building complex energy models, connecting this data feed through the Vinkius catalog gives your AI client a single source of truth for market forecasting and physical constraint analysis.

Questions you might have

How do I check net power imports with get_actual_interchange? +

You prompt for 'actual interchange data.' The tool retrieves real-time metrics, telling you exactly how much electricity is being imported or exported between grids like NYISO and Hydro-Quebec.

What time scale can I use with get_lmp? +

get_lmp provides 5-minute data points. This high granularity is essential for modeling rapid energy cost changes, far surpassing typical hourly reporting.

Does this MCP help me forecast load using get_seven_day_forecast? +

Yes, get_seven_day_forecast predicts the overall system load for the next week. This is critical for long-term resource planning and anticipating when peak stress will occur.

How do I see what sources are powering the grid? Use get_fuel_mix. +

get_fuel_mix reports real-time data on generation. You can analyze how much electricity comes from natural gas versus renewables, which is vital for environmental impact reporting.

Can I compare today's cost to the planned day-ahead price? Use get_day_ahead_lmp. +

Yes. get_day_ahead_lmp pulls anticipated pricing, letting you directly compare expected costs against current or historical market rates for planning purposes.

What specific grid stability data do I get when using `get_regulation`? +

This tool retrieves mandatory regulation requirements and clearing prices. It's essential for analyzing how much capacity is needed to maintain grid stability services across the region.

When should I use `get_hourly_lmp` instead of checking current rates with `get_lmp`? +

You should use it when you need historical or long-term price analysis. It provides Locational Marginal Prices (LMP) at an hourly scale, perfect for spotting patterns over time.

What are the units and purpose of the data returned by `get_system_load`? +

The load is measured in megawatts (MW). This metric gives you a direct reading of the current power consumption, helping you monitor real-time grid stress levels.

How do I get ISO New England API credentials? +

You need to register for an ISO Express account at https://www.iso-ne.com/isoexpress/login. Use your account username and password for API authentication.

What data is available in real-time? +

The API provides real-time updates for system load, fuel mix, and 5-minute locational marginal prices (LMP).

Does it support historical data? +

This MCP currently focuses on retrieving the most recent current and daily data available through the Web Services API.
