MCP Protocol

Connect Sunsei to your AI assistant

Use Sunsei's solar power forecasts straight from an AI assistant. The Sunsei MCP server is a remote Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Sunsei forecast API as tools, guided workflows and reference resources that Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot and any other MCP-capable client can call in conversation.

Connect to Sunsei MCP

Endpoint: https://mcp.sunsei.ai/mcp (MCP over streamable HTTP)

Authentication: your own Sunsei API key, sent as a request header. The server stores no credentials of its own — every request is forwarded to Sunsei with your key, so you only ever see your own account's data and rate limits.

HeaderValue
AuthorizationBearer <your-sunsei-api-key>
x-api-key<your-sunsei-api-key> (raw key, no prefix)

Either header works. Don't have a key yet? Get API access.

What's included

Tools

ToolWhat it does
get_latest_forecastLatest 5-day hourly forecast for one or more real locations
get_historical_forecastPast forecast data for one or more locations over a date range
get_latest_forecast_timeTimestamp of the most recent forecast run

Guided workflows (MCP prompts)

In clients that support MCP prompts (Claude Code, Claude Desktop and others) these appear as slash commands or in the prompt picker. Each one walks the assistant through the right tool calls and presentation.

PromptWhat it does
week_ahead_site_planDaily energy totals, peak windows, best/worst days for one site, plus maintenance and flexible-load scheduling for the 5 days ahead
portfolio_outlookBatches all sites into one call; aggregates to portfolio hourly MW, per-delivery-day MWh, largest ramps, and revision vs the previous run
forecast_accuracy_checkFetches historical forecasts for a site and date range, asks for measured production, reports MAE/RMSE/bias with a verdict
site_design_compareCompares tilt/azimuth variants for one location in a single batched call, ranked by 5-day yield and profile shape

Resources

  • sunsei://guide — a short guide to the data model: units, azimuth convention, time base, the 120 h horizon and how to batch locations. Pull it in as context in any client that supports MCP resources.
  • sunsei://templates — ready-made bilingual (English/Slovenian) output formats for the desk brief, site plan and accuracy report.
