PVPC MCP Server
The PVPC MCP Server fetches Spain's Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer (PVPC) electricity tariffs published daily by Red Eléctrica de España at 8:15 PM for the following day.
Key Capabilities:
Retrieve hourly electricity prices for specific date ranges (ISO 8601 format, defaults to current day)
Filter by geographical region including Spain (3), Península (8741), Canarias (8742), Baleares (8743), Ceuta (8744), and Melilla (8745)
Aggregate data by time using sum or average methods, with truncation by hour, day, month, or year
Aggregate geographically using sum or average, with grouping by country or electric system
Multi-language support with Spanish or English translations
Structured JSON output containing price amounts, currency, timestamps (local and UTC), geographical identifiers, and last update times
Flexible integration as a local or remote MCP server for Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible applications
Note: Requires an API key from Esios Red Eléctrica de España for authentication.
Click on "Deploy 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., "@PVPC MCP Server show me electricity prices for tomorrow in Spain"

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no ambiguity; the tool's purpose is clear and distinct.
A single tool follows the verb_noun pattern, which is consistent and descriptive.
The server has only one tool, which is minimal for a domain that could potentially include more operations (e.g., listing areas or historical data). However, for a focused PVPC price fetcher, it is borderline acceptable.
The tool covers the primary use case of fetching prices for a date range and area. Minor gaps like additional filtering options or bulk data retrieval are not critical, but the surface is quite narrow.
