PowerGridIQ MCP server
Exposes the PGIQ Rating as tools any MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor,
custom agents) can call: "where should I site or schedule a large electricity load, and how is a
given market rated." It wraps the read-only REST API at https://powergridiq.com/api/v1, covering
67 global power markets with a reasoned, cited decision, not just raw feeds.
Tools
pgiq_markets- list every rated market (id, tier, score, outlook). Start here.pgiq_rating(market)- full five-pillar rating + evidence for one market (e.g.quebec).pgiq_best(lens?, group?, min_tier?, limit?)- the ranked best-market decision.lensisdefault|cost|carbon|momentum.pgiq_developments(market?)- recent cited grid developments.pgiq_grid(market)- grid snapshot: carbon intensity, price, fuel mix, demand, firm headroom, peak stress. Merges live signals where available, else a clearly labelled modelled baseline.pgiq_cheapest_window(market?)- cheapest hours to run a flexible load (modelled daily price shape, local time). Omitmarketfor the cheapest grids ranked.
Install & run
cd pgiq-mcp
npm install
node index.js # speaks MCP over stdio
Configure in Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"powergridiq": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/pgiq-mcp/index.js"],
"env": { "PGIQ_KEY": "pk_live_optional_key_for_higher_limits" }
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop, then ask things like "Use PowerGridIQ to find the best carbon-light market for a 100 MW AI cluster in Europe" or "What's the PGIQ rating for Ireland and why?"
Authentication & limits
- No key needed for the free tier: 100 requests/day per IP.
- For a higher monthly quota, set
PGIQ_KEY=pk_live_...(developer 25,000/mo, pro 500,000/mo). Request a key at hello@powergridiq.com. - Override the API base with
PGIQ_APIif needed.
Notes
- The rating is a directional screen, not a connection guarantee; the interconnection queue is the real gate. Every market carries a confidence level, treat lower confidence with more caution.
- Live grid signals, rating-change webhooks, and metered keys are available now; short-horizon forecasts are next.
- A hosted remote MCP server (no local install) is planned; for now this runs locally via stdio.
