Connecting to the PowerTrack MCP Server

The PowerTrack MCP server allows you to connect your PowerTrack data to any AI assistant that supports MCP, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Once connected, you can:

Before you begin
The PowerTrack MCP server runs on the PowerTrack Public API. It uses your credentials and respects your permissions. This means that your account must have access to the PowerTrack Public API to be able to use the MCP server.

If your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc) is managed by your organization (e.g., you have a Team or Enterprise Claude account), then your administrator may need to follow these steps on your behalf.

Connect with Claude
To connect PowerTrack MCP to your Claude account, please follow the instructions found here. All you’ll need is:

  1. For name, put PowerTrack
  2. For Remote MCP server URL, it differs based on if you usually login at apps.alsoenergy.com vs apps.alsoenergy.eu:
    1. For North America: https://powertrack-mcp.stem.com
    2. For the European Union: https://powertrack-mcp.stem.eu
  3. Leave OAuth client ID and secret blank

Once you’ve added the connector, you’ll be redirected to a consent page asking to grant Claude access to PowerTrack Public API. Click “Allow Access.” You’ll be redirected to login.stem.com (or login.stem.eu). Login.

When starting a new conversation, enable the connector by clicking the “ ” button in the bottom left of the chat box, then click “Connectors” and toggle PowerTrack on.
