mcp-elexon

Elexon BMRS Insights MCP — Great Britain electricity grid & market data.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool

Description

generation_by_fuel

Great Britain half-hourly electricity generation by fuel type (Elexon BMRS FUELHH dataset). Returns MW generated per fuel (CCGT/gas, COAL, NUCLEAR, WIND, BIOMASS, NPSHYD hydro, PS pumped-storage, OCGT, OIL, and interconnector flows INTFR/INTIRL/etc) for each half-hour settlement period. Keyless. 48 settlement periods per day.

system_demand

Great Britain half-hourly electricity system demand outturn in MW (Elexon BMRS ITSDO dataset) over a required ISO-datetime window; returns one row per settlement period with settlementDate, settlementPeriod, and demand fields.

query_dataset

Generic escape hatch for any Elexon BMRS Insights dataset (e.g. MID market index/day-ahead prices, DGWS actual wind/solar generation, FUELHH generation by fuel). Pass a dataset code and a datetime window; pick the date parameter style with date_param. Keyless. Returns the raw records.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elexon": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/elexon/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/elexon/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.

Using with ask_pipeworx

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 Elexon data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
