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 Modo Energy MCP?
Modo Energy's MCP server 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 Modo Energy MCP server URL is:
https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp
Connect via Microsoft Copilot
Add Modo Energy's MCP to a Copilot Studio agent to bring Modo Energy's research and data into your Microsoft AI workflows.
Go to copilotstudio.microsoft.com.
Create a new agent, or pick an existing one you'd like to add Modo Energy's MCP to.
Add a tool → Create new → MCP.
Complete the form:
Server name: Modo Energy
Server description: Modo Energy's MCP gives you access to our latest data and research
Server URL: https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp
Authentication: OAuth 2.0
Dynamic discovery: enabled
Create a connection. You may need to allow pop-ups so the Modo Energy sign-in window can appear.
Test and publish your agent.
Connect via ChatGPT
You'll need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu) to add custom MCP servers.
Go to chatgpt.com and sign in.
Click your profile in the bottom-left → Settings → Apps and Connectors → Advanced settings.
Toggle Developer Mode on.
Go back to Settings → Apps and Connectors and click Create (or New connector).
Complete the form:
Name: Modo Energy
Description: Modo Energy's MCP gives you access to our latest data and research
MCP server URL: https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp
Authentication: OAuth
Click Create. You'll be redirected to Modo Energy to sign in.
To use Modo Energy MCP in a chat, click the + icon in the message bar → Developer mode → toggle Modo Energy on for that conversation.
You'll need to enable Modo Energy MCP per conversation — it doesn't stay on by default.
Connect via Claude
The simplest setup, recommended for most users.
For admins (set up across your organisation)
Sign in to Claude at claude.ai as an organisation admin.
Go to Organisation Settings → Connectors.
Click Add → Custom → Web.
Complete the form:
Name: Modo Energy
Remote MCP Server URL:
https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp
Save.
Once added, everyone in your organisation will see Modo Energy in their connector list and can authenticate individually.
For individual users (authenticate)
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Modo Energy.
Click Connect.
You'll be redirected to Modo Energy to sign in.
Once authenticated, Modo Energy 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 Modo Energy to your current project:
claude mcp add modo-energy --transport http https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp
Make Modo Energy available across all your projects:
claude mcp add modo-energy --transport http https://mcp.modoenergy.com/mcp -s user
Then authenticate:
Open a fresh Claude Code session.
Type
/mcp.Scroll to Modo Energy.
Authenticate via the Modo Energy website.
Other MCP clients
For Cursor or any other MCP-compatible tool, point your client at the Modo Energy 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.
