Fronius Mcp
Query live Fronius solar inverter, battery, grid, and smart-meter readings from your agent over the local Solar API.
Overview
Fronius MCP is an Operate-phase MCP server that surfaces real-time Fronius inverter, battery, grid, and smart-meter data via the local Solar API to MCP-aware AI clients.
What is this MCP server?
- Real-time Fronius inverter data: PV production, battery, grid, and smart meter
- Uses local Fronius Solar API on your LAN—no cloud middleman in the README positioning
- PyPI package fronius-mcp with stdio transport (v0.1.2)
- Built for MCP-aware clients such as Claude on the same network as the inverter
- Server version 0.1.2; PyPI identifier fronius-mcp
- stdio transport; repository github.com/flowiesner/fronius-mcp
- Data domains called out in description: PV, battery, grid, smart meter
What problem does it solve?
Checking solar production means bouncing between inverter web UIs and spreadsheets instead of asking your coding agent on the LAN.
Who is it for?
Solo builders with a Fronius inverter on the local network who want solar metrics inside Claude or another MCP client.
Skip if: Multi-vendor fleet monitoring, cloud-only solar analytics without LAN API access, or installs without Fronius Solar API reachability.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once connected, your agent can read live Fronius telemetry through MCP tools for quicker status checks and automation prompts.
- Agent-queryable real-time PV, battery, grid, and smart-meter snapshots
- Local-only telemetry path without requiring a cloud solar middleware in the catalog description
- stdio MCP integration at server version 0.1.2
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Home or site energy telemetry is ongoing production observability, not ideation or marketing. Monitoring subphase matches real-time PV, battery, and grid metrics pulled into Claude for status checks and troubleshooting.
How it compares
Local hardware monitoring MCP bridge, not a generic time-series database skill or cloud solar marketplace.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Fronius MCP for?
Homeowners, makers, and indie developers with Fronius inverters who want PV, battery, and grid data available as MCP tools in Claude or similar agents on the same network.
When should I use Fronius MCP?
Use it during Operate when you need real-time inverter and smart-meter readings for monitoring, debugging, or automations tied to on-site solar hardware.
How do I add Fronius MCP to my agent?
Install fronius-mcp from PyPI, add a stdio MCP server entry in your client config, point it at your LAN Solar API host per project docs, and restart so Fronius data tools load.
