MCP server for Swiss electricity data — three official sources, twelve tools, zero authentication.

🌍 Read this in your language: 🇩🇪 Deutsch

Part of the Swiss Public Data MCP Portfolio — a coordinated set of MCP servers for Swiss public administration.

🔥 Anchor demo query

"How have ewz electricity tariffs for a typical school building (consumption category C3, ≈150'000 kWh/a) developed since 2019, and how do they compare to the Swiss median?"

A single conversation calls tariff_get_by_municipality (bfs_nr=261, category="C3") + tariff_get_median_swiss and returns a year-by-year comparison with full provenance — ready for a Geschäftsleitung slide.

📊 What's inside

Three official Swiss data sources combined into one MCP server, each with its own dedicated tool group:

No authentication required. All endpoints are public Swiss OGD.

🛠️ Tools (12)
