gridoxide-mcp
gridmcp is a Model Context Protocol server for power
networks, built on gridoxide. It lets an LLM chat answer
questions about a network: how big it is, whether it solves, which buses sit furthest from
nominal voltage and which branches carry the most.
It reads MATPOWER cases (.m), UCTE-DEF (.uct), PowSyBl IIDM (.xiidm) and directories of
CGMES profiles. Every tool reads; none writes a file.
| Tool | |
|---|---|
list_networks |
the networks below a directory, with their format |
summary |
size, bus types, voltage levels, tap changers, areas, and what the importer noted |
power_flow |
an AC power flow (Newton-Raphson), optionally with tap control, reactive limits, distributed slack or area interchange: convergence, losses, slack injection, voltage extremes, largest flows |
results |
the buses or branches of the last power_flow, filtered and sorted |
--dir <path> (else GRIDOXIDE_NETWORK_DIR, else the working directory) is where relative
paths resolve.
Install
With uv, nothing needs installing first; clients start it as
uvx --from gridoxide-mcp gridmcp --dir /path/to/networks
or install it once with uv tool install gridoxide-mcp (or pipx install gridoxide-mcp) and
run gridmcp. It is also on crates.io (cargo install gridoxide-mcp) and bundled in the
VS Code extension.
Configure a client
Claude Code (servers start in the project directory, so --dir can be left out):
claude mcp add gridoxide -- uvx --from gridoxide-mcp gridmcp
Codex (~/.codex/config.toml):
[mcp_servers.gridoxide]
command = "uvx"
args = ["--from", "gridoxide-mcp", "gridmcp", "--dir", "/path/to/networks"]
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and most others take an mcpServers block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"gridoxide": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "gridoxide-mcp", "gridmcp", "--dir", "/path/to/networks"]
}
}
}
