How to connect to the Ko MCP server

Connect Ko to Claude or any MCP-compatible tool to pull Modo Energy's research and data directly into your AI workflow.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. Think of it as a common plug — once an AI tool supports MCP, it can connect to any MCP server with just a URL.

Before you start

You'll need a Modo Energy account. Authenticate your AI tool using your existing Modo Energy credentials — the same email and password you use to sign in to the Terminal.

What is Ko MCP?

Ko MCP is Modo Energy's MCP server. It connects Modo Energy's research and data — articles, global indices, battery buildout data, and benchmark methodology — to Claude or any MCP-compatible AI tool. Once connected, you can pull Modo Energy's research and data straight into what you're working on, without switching tabs or downloading exports.

The Ko MCP server URL is:

https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp

Connect via Claude

The simplest setup, recommended for most users.

For admins (set up across your organisation)

  1. Sign in to Claude at claude.ai as an organisation admin.

  2. Go to Organisation Settings → Connectors.

  3. Click Add → Custom → Web.

  4. Complete the form:

  5. Save.

Once added, everyone in your organisation will see Ko in their connector list and can authenticate individually.

For individual users (authenticate)

  1. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Ko.

  2. Click Connect.

  3. You'll be redirected to Modo Energy to sign in.

  4. Once authenticated, Ko appears in the tools menu when you start a new chat.

Connect via Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line tool. For users comfortable in a terminal.

Add Ko to your current project:

claude mcp add ko --transport http https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp

Make Ko available across all your projects:

claude mcp add ko --transport http https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp -s user

Then authenticate:

  1. Open a fresh Claude Code session.

  2. Type /mcp.

  3. Scroll to Ko.

  4. Authenticate via the Modo Energy website.

Other MCP clients

For Cursor or any other MCP-compatible tool, point your client at the Ko MCP server URL above. Setup steps vary by tool, but every MCP client accepts the same URL.

If you need help connecting, contact your Modo Energy account manager.
