## Overview

The **OpenDSS MCP Server** is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude AI with EPRI's OpenDSS power system simulator. It enables distribution planning engineers, utilities, and researchers to perform sophisticated power system analysis through **conversational natural language** instead of complex scripting.

### The Problem

Traditional distribution system analysis requires:
- ⏱️ **2-3 weeks** per study
- 💻 Complex Python/DSS scripting
- 📊 Manual data processing
- 🎨 Custom visualization code
- 📝 Extensive documentation

### The Solution

With OpenDSS MCP Server:
- ⚡ **30 minutes** per study (100x faster)
- 💬 Natural language commands via Claude
- 🤖 Automatic analysis and insights
- 📈 Professional visualizations generated automatically
- 📋 Instant report generation

**Example:**
```
You: "Load IEEE13 feeder, optimize 2MW solar placement, and show voltage improvements"

Claude: ✓ Loaded IEEE13 (13 buses)
        ✓ Optimized solar placement → Bus 675
        ✓ Loss reduction: 32.4%
        ✓ Voltage violations fixed: 3
  …
