About Energi Data Dk

Energi Data Dk is an MCP server for Denmark's open energy data from Energinet. It serves analysts and energy users with hourly day-ahead prices, near-real-time grid emissions, and access to datasets on production and consumption.

Key features

  1. 01Retrieve hourly spot prices by bidding zone
  2. 02Check grid CO2 intensity readings
  3. 03Query Energinet datasets
  4. 04Access production and consumption records

Use cases

  1. 01Compare day-ahead electricity prices across zones
  2. 02Track recent grid emissions intensity
  3. 03Inspect electricity production and consumption data

MCP support

Exposes Energinet spot-price, CO2-intensity, and dataset-query tools to MCP clients. It can run through the Pipeworx gateway or as a standalone stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project README

mcp-energi-data-dk

Energi Data Service (Energinet) MCP — Denmark's official open energy data. Keyless. Electricity day-ahead spot prices by bidding zone, real-time grid CO2 emission intensity, and production/consumption. DK1 = west Denmark, DK2 = east Denmark.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1879+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
spot_pricesDay-ahead electricity spot prices from Energi Data Service (Energinet, Denmark/Nordic). Prices per bidding zone (PriceArea) in DKK and EUR per MWh, hourly. Bidding zones: DK1 (west Denmark), DK2 (east Denmark), DE (Germany), NO2, SE3, SE4, and others. Omit "area" to get all zones. Keyless official open data.
co2_intensityReal-time grid CO2 emission intensity (g CO2/kWh) from Energinet Denmark, sampled every 5 minutes per bidding zone (DK1=west, DK2=east); defaults to the last 12 readings (~1 hour). Lower values mean cleaner electricity.sampled every 5 minutes per bidding zone. Areas: DK1 (west Denmark), DK2 (east Denmark). Lower values mean cleaner electricity right now. Keyless official open data.
query_datasetGeneric escape hatch for any of the ~100 Energi Data Service (Energinet, Denmark) datasets. Examples: "ProductionConsumptionSettlement" (production/consumption by type per area+hour), "CO2EmisProg" (CO2 prognosis), "Elspotprices", "CO2Emis". Returns the raw records array for the dataset. Keyless official open data.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "energi-data-dk": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/energi-data-dk/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/energi-data-dk/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1879+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/spot_prices \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"area":"DK1","limit":24}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/spot_prices. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "energi-data-dk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-energi-data-dk"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-energi-data-dk

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Energi Data Dk data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
