Connects Claude to the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the official data hub for European electricity transmission. Exposes four core tools: actual_load for hourly consumption by bidding zone, actual_generation_per_type for production breakdowns across solar, wind, nuclear, gas and other sources, cross_border_flow for physical power transfers between areas, and installed_capacity for year-end generation capacity. Runs as a hosted service through Pipeworx's gateway with optional plain-English querying via ask_pipeworx. Reach for this when analyzing European power markets, building energy dashboards, or researching grid operations across EU transmission zones.
ENTSO-E Transparency Platform MCP — pan-European electricity transmission system data. Generation, load, cross-border flows, day-ahead prices.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
day_ahead_prices(area, period_start, period_end) — auction clearing prices per houractual_load(area, period_start, period_end) — measured consumptionactual_generation_per_type(area, period_start, period_end) — generation broken down by fuel/sourcecross_border_flow(area_from, area_to, period_start, period_end) — interconnector physical flowinstalled_capacity(area, year) — installed generation capacity per typePLATFORM_ENTSOE_KEY?_apiKey=<token> after registering at https://transparency.entsoe.eu/ and emailing transparency@entsoe.eu to request API access.https://web-api.tp.entsoe.eu/api — token in securityToken query. Returns XML (we parse the most useful fields into JSON).
Bidding-zone codes (area) are EIC area codes — 10YDE-VE-------2 (Germany Amprion + 50Hertz), 10YFR-RTE------C (France), 10YBE----------2 (Belgium), 10YGB----------A (UK), etc. See https://transparency.entsoe.eu/content/static_content/Static%20content/web%20api/Guide.html#_areas for the full list.
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"entso-e": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/entso-e/mcp"
}
}
}
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/entso-e/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Entso E data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
