About Solematica MCP Server
Solematica MCP Server gives MCP clients access to solar estimates, provider comparisons, energy prices, and article search for Italy. It serves household and energy research queries; address-based estimates require an API key, while the other tools are public.
Key features
- 01Solar estimates for Italian addresses
- 02Satellite-based roof analysis
- 03Compare Italian solar providers
- 04Check energy prices
- 05Search energy articles
Use cases
- 01Estimate solar production and returns for an Italian home

- 04Look up Italian energy prices and related articles
MCP support
This MCP server exposes tools over stdio for solar estimates, roof analysis, provider data, energy prices, and article search. `stima_solare` requires an API key; the other tools do not.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
