Provides access to National Grid ESO (NESO) Great Britain electricity grid open data, enabling searches for datasets, listing of resources, querying of data, and retrieval of day-ahead demand forecasts.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-nesowhat's the current GB electricity generation mix?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

NESO MCP — Great Britain electricity grid open data (api.neso.energy)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Search NESO (National Energy System Operator, ex National Grid ESO) open data for UK electricity grid datasets — GB power demand forecasts, wind generation forecasts, carbon intensity, balancing costs, historic demand, energy system data. Returns dataset slug/id, title, summary, and resource count. Example: neso_search_datasets({ query: "wind forecast" }) |
| List the resources (data files/tables) inside one NESO UK electricity grid dataset by its id or slug (from neso_search_datasets). Returns the dataset title/description plus each resource's resource_id, name, format, datastore availability, and last_modified — pick a resource_id with datastore_active for neso_query_data. Example: neso_dataset_resources({ id: "14-days-ahead-wind-forecasts" }) |
| Query rows from a NESO GB energy dataset resource (CKAN DataStore) by resource_id — UK electricity demand, wind generation forecasts, carbon intensity, balancing data. Supports exact-match filters (field->value object), full-text query, limit, offset. Returns field names/types plus records. Example: neso_query_data({ resource_id: "aec5601a-7f3e-4c4c-bf56-d8e4184d3c5b", limit: 20 }) |
| Current GB day-ahead national electricity demand forecast from NESO (National Grid ESO) — tomorrow's UK power demand in MW at each cardinal point (the daily peaks and troughs the grid operator forecasts, with start/end times). Answers "what is tomorrow's UK electricity demand", "GB power demand forecast", "National Grid demand peak". Example: neso_demand_forecast({}) |

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"neso": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/neso/mcp"
}
}
}Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Neso data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
