How do I install Tidegap?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Tidegap need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: TIDEGAP_DEFAULT_REGION, TIDEGAP_DB_PATH, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY, TIDEGAP_EIA_API_KEY, TIDEGAP_ENTSOE_SECURITY_TOKEN, WATTTIME_USERNAME, WATTTIME_PASSWORD, TIDEGAP_ELECTRICITY_MAPS_API_KEY.

What transport does Tidegap use?

Tidegap runs locally over stdio.

When was Tidegap last checked?

Last checked 2026-11-10. Runs non-urgent LLM tasks at the cleanest grid hour before a deadline, via Batch APIs when allowed.
