local-only server

The server can only run on the client’s local machine because it depends on local resources.

Tibber MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for Tibber, a Norwegian power supplier.

You can run the MCP server locally and access it via different hosts such as Claude Desktop or Roo Code.

For more details, check out my blog post:
Building a Tibber MCP Server: Connect Your AI Agent to Energy Consumption Data

Overview

The Tibber MCP server provides an AI agent with a convenient way to interact with the Tibber API and query information such as current energy prices and your energy consumption data.

Example Queries

Once connected to the MCP server, you can ask questions like:

"Analyze my power consumption data and present the usual peak hours and any other interesting patterns in an easy-to-read format."
"When did I use the most power yesterday?"
"How much power did I consume yesterday at 7 AM?"
"What is the current energy price?"
"List the 3 cheapest hours of tomorrow."
"Is the energy price higher or lower tomorrow?"

Set up the Python virtual environment and install dependencies:
uv venv --python 3.12 && source .venv/bin/activate && uv pip install --requirement pyproject.toml

Host Configuration

In Claude Desktop or Roo Code in VS

{
   "mcpServers":{
      "tibber":{
         "command":"uv",
         "args":[
            "--directory",
            "[PATH-TO-ROOT-OF-THE-CLONED-TIBBER-MCP-FOLDER]",
            "run",
            "server.py"
         ],
         "env":{
            "TIBBER_API_TOKEN":"[YOUR-TIBBER-TOKEN]"
         }
      }
   }
}

IMPORTANT: Replace [YOUR-TIBBER-TOKEN] with your actual token. Never commit actual credentials to version control.

Debug and test the MCP server locally

Run the server locally and run MCP inspector against it

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector -e TIBBER_API_TOKEN=[YOUR-TIBBER-TOKEN] python server.py

Available Tools

The server exposes the following tools that LLM can use:

get_consumption_data(): Get the hourly consumption data for the last 30 days, such as time period, total cost, base energy cost, and consumpted kwh
get_price_and_home_info(): Get price info (current, today and tomorrow) and home info (owner, address, subscription...)
