Ask ChatGPT or Claude for tomorrow’s local electricity price

Connect Voltcast to an AI assistant through hosted MCP or GPT Actions and query one European bidding zone.

Short answer

Use the hosted Voltcast MCP endpoint or the curated GPT Actions schema with a Home API key. Ask for an explicit zone and date, and require the assistant to cite the returned source and issuance time.

Forecast performance is published daily on the public accuracy board; losing zones remain visible.
