### Description (declared)

# octopus-mcp

> Unofficial. Not affiliated with Octopus Energy. Uses the public REST API and the community-known Kraken GraphQL endpoint; the latter is unofficial and may break without notice.

A Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude analyse your Octopus Energy account: usage, costs, tariff comparisons, Saving Sessions, Octoplus rewards.

Works with **Claude Code**, **Claude Desktop**, and any MCP-compatible client.

## Install

### Claude Code (recommended)

```bash
# 1. Install the MCP server
uv tool install octopus-mcp

# 2. Save your credentials in your OS keychain
octopus-mcp configure

# 3. Install the plugin from this repo (in Claude Code):
/plugin install DanielChicot/octopus-mcp
```

### Claude Desktop / Cursor / other MCP clients

Install the server, configure credentials, then add to your MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "octopus": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["octopus-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

For Claude Desktop, the config lives at `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS).

## Credentials

You need:

- `OCTOPUS_API_KEY` — find at [octopus.energy → My account → Personal details → Developer settings](https://octopus.energy/dashboard/new/accounts/personal-details/api-access)
- `OCTOPUS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER` — `A-XXXXXXXX`, on any bill or in your account

Optional (only some Kraken queries):

- `OCTOPUS_EMAIL` / `OCTOPUS_PASSWORD`

Resolution order: shell env > `.env` > OS keyring > error. The recommended path is `octopus-mcp configure` which writes to the OS keyring so secrets never sit in plaintext config.
