At a glance: 25+ energy & utilities MCP servers for power system simulation, building energy modeling, industrial IoT/SCADA, commodity pricing, carbon tracking, and smart home energy. Scientific simulation tools are world-class; operational utility systems remain underserved. Rating: 3.5/5.
Power System Simulation
Power-Agent/PowerMCP (~88 stars, Python, MIT) — The most ambitious power system MCP project. 9 integrations: PowerWorld, OpenDSS, PSSE, PyPSA, pandapower, ANDES, Egret, LTSpice, PSLF. Each simulator gets its own MCP server file. The only project attempting to unify the fragmented power systems software ecosystem under a single AI interface.
cdgaete/pypsa-mcp (~49 stars, Python, MIT) — 13 tools for PyPSA energy system modeling through natural language. Create buses, generators, loads, transmission lines, storage units. Run power flow analysis and optimization. Install via pip install pypsamcp.
Building Energy Simulation
LBNL-ETA/EnergyPlus-MCP (~69 stars, Python) — 35 tools from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Complete building energy simulation lifecycle: load IDF models, validate, modify, simulate, visualize. HVAC topology analysis lets agents discover complex loop configurations. Docker deployment for Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cursor.
Industrial IoT & SCADA
poly-mcp/IoT-Edge-MCP-Server (~20 stars, Python) — Bridges AI agents to SCADA/PLC systems via MQTT and Modbus protocols. InfluxDB for time-series, Redis caching, multi-priority alarm management. Security-first: API key + JWT auth, IP allowlisting, Fernet encryption, HMAC signatures, tamper-evident audit logging. Simulation mode included.
Energy Infrastructure
kasathur/energyatit-mcp-server (JavaScript, MIT) — 30+ tools across 8 industrial protocols: IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, OpenADR 2.0b, OCPP 1.6/2.0, IEEE 2030.5, ICCP/TASE.2, REST. Battery dispatch, carbon verification, demand response, grid monitoring, compliance reporting.
Commodity Markets & Carbon
OilpriceAPI/mcp-server (TypeScript, MIT) — 4 tools for real-time pricing across 40+ commodities: oil (WTI, Brent, OPEC basket), natural gas (Henry Hub, EU TTF), coal, refined products, metals, forex. Natural language commodity recognition.
jagan-shanmugam/climatiq-mcp-server (~8 stars, Python, MIT) — 10 tools for carbon emission calculations: electricity, travel, cloud computing (AWS/GCP/Azure), freight, procurement, hotel stays. Built on the Climatiq API.
Smart Home Energy
tevonsb/homeassistant-mcp (~555 stars, TypeScript, MIT) — Most popular smart home MCP server. Energy dashboard integration provides consumption data, solar production metrics, grid import/export tracking.
What's Missing
- Utility billing/CIS — no customer management systems
- ISO/RTO market data — no CAISO, PJM, ERCOT feeds
- AMI/smart meters — no advanced metering infrastructure
- EV charging networks — limited to OCPP; no ChargePoint/Tesla
- Weather-to-energy forecasting — no solar/wind prediction
The Bottom Line
Rating: 3.5/5 — Strongest in scientific simulation and research. PowerMCP's 9-simulator integration and EnergyPlus's 35-tool lifecycle from LBNL are world-class. Industrial IoT and carbon tracking fill practical needs. The gap: utility operators can't manage billing, outages, or customer communications through MCP yet.
