How It Works

┌─────────────┐
│  AI Agent   │  "What were peak electricity prices in 2024?"
│ (Claude/GPT)│
└──────┬──────┘
       │ JSON-RPC 2.0 (MCP Protocol)

    Response with peak prices, analysis, and insights

Integration Example: Claude Desktop

Config file: claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iex-insider": {
      "url": "http://localhost:5000/api/iex/jsonrpc",
      "description": "Indian Energy Exchange market data analysis"
    }
  }
}

Usage:

User: "What was the average electricity price in DAM market
       during evening peak hours (5pm-9pm) in 2024?"

Claude: [Uses IEXInsider MCP tool]
        Analyzing evening peak hours (17:00-21:00) for DAM market in 2024...

        Results:
        - Average MCP: ₹6.42/kWh
        - Peak: ₹12.50/kWh (at 18:30-18:45)
        - Lowest: ₹4.15/kWh (at 20:45-21:00)
        - Standard Deviation: ±1.85
