Openei Urdb MCP
An MCP server that provides three tools to interact with the NREL OpenEI Utility Rate Database. It allows agents to search for US electricity tariffs by location or utility, retrieve detailed tariff structures including time-of-use periods and demand charges, and identify electric utilities serving specific US locations along with their tariff counts.
