Emporia just made understanding your home energy data as easy as having a conversation. Our new Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration lets you ask your AI assistant questions like “How much did my EV charger cost me last week?” and get instant, accurate answers pulled straight from your Emporia data.
We’ve always believed that managing your home’s energy should be simple, not overwhelming. That’s why we built the Emporia Home Energy Management Platform to turn complex energy data into actionable insights. Today, we’re taking that philosophy one step further.
What Is The Emporia MCP?
Imagine opening your favorite AI chat tool and simply asking: “What’s my biggest energy drain this month?” or “When does my home use the most electricity?” Instead of digging through apps and charts, you get instant, conversational answers based on your real Emporia data.
The Emporia Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects your Emporia Cloud home energy data directly to AI assistants, making your energy insights as accessible as asking a question. It runs quietly in the background on your computer, only springing into action when you need answers about your energy usage.
Why We Built This
Energy data can be overwhelming. Spreadsheets, graphs, and technical reports might tell the whole story, but they don’t always tell it clearly. We wanted to bridge that gap between having incredible energy insights and actually understanding what they mean for your daily life.
Whether you’re trying to optimize your EV charging schedule, understand why last month’s bill was higher than expected, or figure out which appliances are energy hogs, the Emporia MCP turns those questions into simple conversations.
Real Questions, Real Answers
Here’s what becomes possible when your energy data speaks your language:
“Show me my EV charger’s power usage last Tuesday.”
Get detailed charging session data without navigating through multiple screens.
“What was my home battery’s average charge level in May?”
Instantly calculate and understand your energy storage patterns.
“Which day this week did I use the most electricity?”
Quickly identify usage spikes and their potential causes.
“Visualize my main panel’s energy usage over the past two weeks.”
Generate charts and graphs that make trends immediately clear.
We know not everyone loves diving into technical setups, so we designed Emporia MCP to be approachable. You can pick whichever AI app you want to use – and after copy/pasting some text into settings – you can have this running in just a few minutes.
The system works with popular AI tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor. See a full list of compatible tools here.
The Future of Home Energy Intelligence
This launch represents something bigger than just a new feature. It’s our vision of where home energy management is heading—toward truly intelligent systems that understand you, adapt to your needs, and communicate in ways that make sense.
Emporia MCP is just the beginning. We’re already working on expanded capabilities and planning a cloud-hosted version that will make this technology even more accessible.
