Getting Started

What is GridKit?

GridKit is a collection of free AI-powered tools designed specifically for utility industry professionals. These tools integrate seamlessly with popular AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor, allowing you to query energy data, perform calculations, and analyze grid metrics using natural language.

Who is it for?

GridKit is built for:

  • Grid operators who need real-time LMP data and reliability metrics
  • Planning engineers who need solar estimates and load analysis tools
  • Energy traders who need market data and carbon intensity information
  • Utility analysts who need quick access to EIA data and tariff information

    • 5-Minute Quickstart

    Step 1: Choose a tool

    Browse our tools directory and pick a tool that matches your needs. Popular choices include:

  • LMP Price Lookup for real-time and historical locational marginal prices
  • Carbon Intensity for grid emissions data
  • PV Output Estimator for solar generation estimates

    • Step 2: Install it

    Each tool page shows installation instructions for different AI assistants. For Claude Desktop, you'll add a configuration like:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "lmp-price": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@saral/mcp-lmp"]
    }
  }
}

    Step 3: Start asking questions

    Once installed, you can ask questions in plain English:

  • "What's the current LMP at WESTWING_500 in CAISO?"
  • "Show me the carbon intensity for PJM right now"
  • "Estimate solar output for a 100kW system in Phoenix"

    • That's it! No API keys, no signups, no complicated setup.
