Integration

Solcast integration

Solcast provides solar irradiance, weather, PV power, wind power and soiling-loss data for any location: live estimates for the past days, forecasts up to 14 days ahead, historical time series and typical meteorological years (TMY). Query a location by latitude and longitude, or a registered PV or wind site by resource id, and manage those sites, their measurements and their availability schedules. Which data products answer depends on the account's subscription. Authentication is an API key sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Solcast.Built from the 53 Solcast tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with Solcast

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Pv power site, 6 operations

Use Solcast from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Solcast in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Solcast operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to connect Solcast

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Solcast once
Add your Solcast connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
